Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.

Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.

Summary

This quote suggests that women desire grand, elaborate, and intricate experiences of love, similar to the length and depth of a novel. For them, love should be explored like a complex narrative with rich character development and twists in the plot. On the other hand, men prefer love to be simplified and condensed, like a shorter story. They may lean towards concise and straightforward romantic encounters, focusing more on the outcome rather than the intricacies of the journey. This quote emphasizes the differing expectations and perspectives of men and women when it comes to romantic relationships.
