Jean Chatzky Quotes

We teenage girls are faced with a quandary: we know what we want but are forced to wait for our male counterparts to grow up. We are ready for intense and meaningful relationships, but research indicates that males will not reach maturity until their mid-20s.

Men and women are different. I don't think men grow a brain until 26 or even 30. Girls mature a lot quicker.

Women, the way I see it, are very evolved people. They're more mature, they're more aware of their feelings, in touch with their feelings. They're connected to things that matter more in life.

I have matured a lot.

I like men. I like the sound of their voices, the way they think. They're more sensitive than women. With a woman, everything is either this or that, black or white. But a man can see shades of gray. That's what I call being sensitive.

And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
