About This Quote

It’s not enough to describe a man as sweet; the woman you’re describing must be able to find some way to make him sweet. Women want a man who is sweet, but they can’t just sit around waiting for a sweet guy to stroll into their lives. Women have to know what they’re going to do with a guy who is already sweet, and they have to do it before they meet him. If you have your eye on a certain kind of guy, don’t let him get away until you have found a way to make him sweet.
