“Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In seduction, the rapist bothers to buy a bottle of wine.”

“Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.”

Oscar Wilde

Quote · 1996

“Women always ready to settle down. Shit, a woman goes on four good dates, she's like "Why are we bullshittin'? What are you waiting for?" Men—never ready to settle down. Men don't settle down. We surrender.”
