About This Quote

In this quote from the film 'So Close' Dylan and Abby (played by Emily Blunt and Ryan Phillippe) explain the difference between men and women. Firstly, Dylan says that it isn't easy for a man to get involved with a woman who's totally capable of handling anything that comes along. This implies that men may be attracted to such women, but Dylan feels that such women are intimidating. However, it isn't easy for a woman to believe that there are women who can not only do those things but enjoy them.

By saying that it's incredible, Dylan is saying that it is difficult for her to believe that there are woman who can do such things and enjoy them. The word incredible here refers to something so amazing or unbelievable, or so unexpected or surprising, as to seem impossible or utterly improbable.
