About This Quote
You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.
This quote comes from a play written by Neil Simon called "Laughter on the 23rd Floor." It was based on the true story of a woman who falls in love with three men, one after another. The first man she falls in love with is irresistible, but she cannot have him because he's married. So she marries her next choice, only to have him die in a plane crash.
The third man she falls in love with is even better than the first two combined. He is intelligent, handsome, and an excellent conversationalist, but she can't have him because he's also married.
