We want different things. Men want to have sex with a woman. Then they want to have sex with another woman. And then another. Then they want to eat cornflakes and sleep for a while, and then they want to have sex with another woman, and another, until they die. Women, ’ and I thought I’d better pick my words carefully when describing a gender I didn’t belong to, ‘want a relationship. They may not get it, or they may sleep with a lot of men before they do get it, but ultimately that’s what they want. That’s the goal. Men do not have goals. Natural ones. So they invent them, and put them at either end of a football pitch. And then they invent football. Or they pick fights, or try and get rich, or start wars, or come up with any number of daft bloody things to make up for the fact that they have no real goals.’‘ Bollocks, ’ said Ronnie.‘That, of course, is the other main difference. .Hugh Laurie
About This Quote
This quote is about the differences between men and women. Men are not very emotionally sensitive so they cannot understand what women want. As stated in the quote, men have no natural goals so they have to invent them. Women on the other hand, want a relationship and most of them end up having several relationships before finding one that works for both parties. It is also mentioned that men do not have goals but they invent them.
