About This Quote

The meaning of this quote is that women don't pay attention to what they hear, but instead what they see. This is based on the idea that they look at a man and judge him based on his physical appearance and most likely they would only care about his inner character. The most important thing in a man's life is his wealth and social position. So, women, like many other reasonable people, will value a man's wealth and social position more than he himself will.
