Romantic love is an obsession. It possesses you. You lose your sense of self. You can’t stop thinking about another human being.

A woman of 40 or 50 or 60 can take estrogen replacements, get facelifts, spend her money in bars.

A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you'd be a social disgrace. Today women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man.

When people tell you to walk a certain way, it's like not thinking of a purple tomato. You can't not do it.

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 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.

It's in our genes, we were built to wander.
