By nature, men love newfangledness

Women desire six things: They want their husbands to be brave, wise, rich, generous, obedient to wife, and lively in bed

The best men tell you the truth because they think you can take it; the worst men either try to preserve you in some innocent state with their false protection, or are ‘brutally honest.’ When someone tells, lets you think for yourself, experience your own emotions, he is treating you as a true equal, a friend…And the best men cook for you.
