Chapter 114 Men and Women

[China] Eileen Chang

Even though women are wrong in every way, lovely women are really lovely.

When a man is really moved, his love is much greater than that of a woman.But looking at it from another perspective, women hate men much longer than men.

In the end, every man's money is always spent on a certain woman.

A man can flirt with the lowest barmaid without losing his status - not even a high-class woman blowing a distant kiss to the postman!We infer from this: men are no better than women.It doesn't matter how low he bends, because it's hard for him to straighten up again without bending.

For most women, "to love" means "to be loved".

If you promise to do a woman a favor, she'll do anything for you; but if you've already done a favor, she won't be busy doing it for you.So you should promise to help different women all the time, then you can get a little reward, a little benefit - because there is only one kind of repayment for women: advance repayment.

Time is money, so the more time a woman spends in front of the mirror, the more money she spends in the boutique.

If you don't flirt with a woman, she says you're not a man; if you flirt with her, she says you're not a classy person.

Only men have the right to propose marriage—as long as this system exists, marriage cannot be a fair transaction; women always say that they "allowed his request" at the beginning, so they have the upper hand in the quarrel. For this reason, women insist that men should propose marriage.

Women tend to forget this: all their education has been to teach them to be strong-willed and resist external temptations--but they spend their lives provoking external temptations.

Modern marriage is a kind of insurance, invented by women.

If women could draw royalties after making up stories, all women would be rich.

You ask a woman one question, and her second is a novel.

Women do not make friends with women as quickly as men do.They have more things to hide.

Women are lucky—surgeons can't dissect their consciences.

Men do wrong things, but women go around planning how to do them wrong.

If a woman tells you a secret, don't tell it to another woman - someone else must have told her.

Most women never think before they speak.Men think about it - don't talk about it.

It's harder for a woman to tell me I'm wrong than it is for a man to tell me a whole bunch of tongue twisters.

You suspect your wife, she cheats on you.If you don't doubt your wife, she will doubt you.

Even though women are wrong in every way, lovely women are really lovely.

Heart mark notes
There are positive and negative yin and yang in the world, animals and plants are divided into male and female, and human beings are divided into men and women. More popular sayings are "same sex repels, opposite sex attracts", "men are made of mud, women are made of water" and so on. .Men and women seem to be endless topics.

The famous Western philosopher and thinker Plato once said: In the early days, people were all intersex people, their bodies were like a ball, half of which was male and half of which was female, and then it was split in the middle, so everyone They are all trying to find their other half to return to wholeness.Of course, the relationship between men and women is not as simple as Plato's fable, but it is precisely because of men and women that this world appears harmonious, unified and complete.
