Experience:
Some men tear your heart in two,
Some men flirt and flatter,
Some men never look at you,
And that clears up the matter.

Dorothy Parker

I shudder at the thought of men.... I'm due to fall in love again

Dorothy Parker

Some men break your heart in two, Some men fawn and flatter, Some men never look at you; And that cleans up the matter.

Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses.

Dorothy Parker

The ladies men admire, I've heard, Would shudder at a wicked word. Their candle gives a single light, They'd rather stay at home at night. They do not keep awake 'till three, Nor read erotic poetry. They never sanction the impure, Nor recognize an overture. They shrink from powders and from paints... So far I've had no complaints.

Dorothy Parker

I had been fed, in my youth, a lot of old wives' tales about the way men would instantly forsake a beautiful woman to flock around a brilliant one. It is but fair to say that, after getting out in the world, I had never seen this happen.

Dorothy Parker

Men They hail you as their morning star Because you are the way you are. If you return the sentiment, They'll try to make you different; And once they have you, safe and sound, They want to change you all around. Your moods and ways they put a curse on; They'd make of you another person. They cannot let you go your gait; They influence and educate. They'd alter all that they admired. They make me sick, they make me tired.
