Love is not everything ... It is only when we are young that we think it is.
When I was young, I used to have successes with women because I was young. Now I have successes with women because I am old. Middle age was the hardest part.
When I was young, I had a list of things that I wanted in a husband. I knew what he should read and what sports he should like and blah, blah, blah. But the truth is, that the list was a shocking mirror image of me. You want to marry yourself when you are young. All the things you think are so urgently important, when you get older, you discover they don't have anything to do with love.
The older theory was, marry an older man because they're more mature. But the new theory is men don't mature. Marry a younger one.
As a grown adult, if you can't look a woman or look a man in the eye and say, 'I have serious feelings for you' and instead you have to say, 'Do you like me? Check yes or no,' like we're in grade school, that to me is a red flag of maturity as far as a relationship goes.
When I was younger, I was just always looking for - you're always looking for this hot, so hot, like super-hot girl. And then, as I've gotten older, different things are really important to me, like just honesty. Being able to sit down and have a conversation.
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need, but I'm too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy.
Of late I have searched diligently to discover the advantages of age, and there is, I have concluded, only one. It is that lovely women treat your approaches with understanding rather than with disdain.
..we were always taught, instead of waiting to be swept off our feet, to 'expect little, forgive much'.
I think everybody has a hard time connecting, but as you get older and you want more and you expect more and you know more, it's just different. If you start wanting too much from it without it naturally unfolding, then that makes it bad. If you start not wanting anything, then you are not serious. I mean it's just this conundrum of issues.
At twenty, men love woman; at thirty, a woman; and at forty, women.
In your pursuit of your passions, always be young. In your relationship with others, always be grown-up.
I think that everyone has the right to fall in love at any age. But in life you have to learn how to control your emotions. You must know self-discipline.
Guys, we spend our whole lives trying to get pussy, so when pussy comes to us, it's like, "Whoa, this is amazing!" At 27, I thought nothing could be better than that, but at 35, I've come to understand the darker side of it.
I tell young girls all the time: "Go for the guys who are more serious, distinguished". The hot-model types, they're too pretty, and too wet behind the ears. Besides, do you want a guy who takes longer to get ready than you?
many of us are done with adolescence before we are done with adolescent love.
