A funny one from Orson Wells
"If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys."

They don't make them like they used to I guess, this quote while it might be old, its just one you can't ignore, it brings back a classic euphoria and confidence that no matter what happens. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow but someday, that one that got away might come strolling back.
Simple. Solid. Soulful. And has roots besides.

A quote from one of the Greatest TV Star of All Time -Lucille Ball

In impressing a woman, a man hopes to gain a mate, over whom he shall impose his paternalistic role of family/tribal leader; yet, at the same time, he hopes to gain a mate that will not only comfort him in times of turmoil, but perhaps even tell him what to do when he strays.
It comes down to the classic manly roar of, Me Man, Me king of Castle, until he gets balled out by the wife for not taking the trash out.
This quote by Lord Byron exemplifies this, it is basically the can't live with them, can't live without them, but in a far more eloquent tone.
"There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken." - Lord Byron
Hope this helps.

Aside from satisfying physiological urges inherent to all sexually reproducing animals, man is also motivated to impress women to fulfill his sometimes contradicting role in society, that of leader and of obedient servant. In impressing a woman, a man hopes to gain a mate, over whom he shall impose his paternalistic role of family/tribal leader; yet, at the same time, he hopes to gain a mate that will not only comfort him in times of turmoil, but perhaps even tell him what to do when he strays.
It comes down to the classic manly roar of, Me Man, Me king of Castle, until he gets balled out by the wife for not taking the trash out.
This quote by Lord Byron exemplifies this, it is basically the can't live with them, can't live without them, but in a far more eloquent tone.
"There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken." - Lord Byron

For thousands of years there has been Man. A few hours after Man was created, so too was Woman. Twice the beauty and only half the driving skills. And for thousands of years, Man has done utterly asinine things on account of Woman. Men have climbed the highest mountains, waged catastrophic wars, built epic monuments in their honor, painted them beautiful pictures and then promptly mailed them their ears; we created wine and designer shoes and Gossip Girl in an attempt to appease the fairer sex. men would never need to lie if there where no woman :)
