Men have the romantic feelings. Women're much colder and more practical. I never have. I couldn't count the number of times a woman had said she didn't want me talking about her to my male friends. Because they do, that's why.
Women talk about everything.
I knew this was true. I had long ago learned of the frankness of women among themselves, and of their tendency to assume that men were equally frank, when, as far as I could tell, men were actually quite discreet. So women think men are explicit, and men think women are romantic. Eventually that becomes a stereotype that nobody questions. But it's not accurate at all.
