Hello Pln Alberto Jason Chaya Claire and everybody else, Maybe this quotation is kind of old-fashioned nowadays, isn't it? Deep down, as I can see today women don't want just to be loved. They have fought for their rights and all that things we already know. If I say that to women almost 100% will agree with it but in reality, they want to be understood as well. I think women here in the group can speak up. LOL It's just my viewpoint.
Simone, I agree with you, this discussion is getting interesting! :) Nice beginning of the week for you all!
