Women are naturally prone to compete over their mates.

Women are very attracted to a low voice because it’s linked to testosterone, which for millions of years was a sign that men had very good spacial skills and would have been very good at hunting and finding their way back home.

Women have a better sense of smell than men do, and it’s even sharper in the middle of their menstrual cycle, when estrogen levels peak and women are more likely to be deciding whether a man’s attractive.

Women have never been as interesting as they are now. Not at any time on this planet have women been so educated, so interesting, so capable.

Women like signs of money and education – things that indicate that not only is this guy going to have some resources, but he’s also willing to share them.

Women spend their lives trying to look good for men. So a woman who feels she’s sending the right visual signals is pleased with herself.

You can be instantly scared. You can be instantly happy. So why can’t you be instantly romantically in love? I think when it happens, it’s because you are ready to fall in love.

You don’t come home from the office to spend time with another job. Hopefully you come home to someone you can have a good time with.

You know, when you’ve been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life – but no, you just love them harder.
