Barbra StreisandWhy does a woman work ten years to change a man, then complain he's not the man she married?
About This Quote
When a woman falls in love with a man, she is willing to change him in many ways. She wants him to be a better person, but sometimes she complains that he is not the man that he was when they got married. In other words, she does not want to be with a "man" but a "boy." Women want to have a "boyfriend" instead of a husband. They want to have fun, enjoy life and have fun being seen with a man who is young and handsome. Women want a man who will take care of them and bring joy into their lives, but they do not want a burden, so they complain when their new boy toy becomes too serious or too old for her.
