I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
I think at this stage in my life I have learned that there are any number of things that men will never know, and can never hope to know, about women.
[I think the most about] women. They are a complete mystery.
The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is 'What does a woman want?'

I've noticed over my 22 years of living that, yes, women can be difficult, and I call myself a ladies' man, thinking I have them figured out. But as men, we will never understand women.

My brother used to say that when you deal with women, it's difficult to remove emotions from an argument. I never really knew what he meant. Then I read an article that said when it comes to emotion and logic, men's and women's brains are different - my brother was right! Women are very mysterious, but that's part of their joy.

There are certain things men will never understand about women. We'll never get it. And you're supposed to be nice to them. Because they can hurt you.
Boys mystified me, although I dreamed vaguely of men.
