When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier. . Sheryl Sandberg
About This Quote

This quote seems to be a contradiction of itself. It is talking about how dating all kinds of guys is important to find the perfect man, but it also says that men do not make good husbands. What are we to make of these contradictory statements? I believe the quote is trying to convey the fact that there are different ways to be a man, and that some men are more masculine than others. There are those who would rather not do the dishes or clean up after themselves.

These men are more likely to be feminine traits in men. However, there are also those who are more masculine, but they still put their woman first. These men are better for marriages because they understand where their women need help, and they work together around the home for stability.
