She had searched for just the right guy; sensitive and gentle and willing to wait. Quite a long search, of course. She was looking for some imaginary man who cared more about having someone to talk to and see movies with than he needed to have sex, because she was just Not Ready for That. Did I say imaginary? Well yes. Human men are not like that. Jeff Lindsay
About This Quote

This quote speaks to how women are often led astray by the men they date. In this version of the story, a woman is looking for a relationship with a man who makes her feel safe and secure. However, the men she meets do not meet those criteria. Instead, they are interested in getting into her pants as soon as possible.

The biggest problem with this version of the story is that it’s very different from the real world. There is a reason why women tend to be less happy with their relationships than men are.
