She will not be looking at you when the food arrives <br /> <br />She will not be looking at you in the midst of children <br /> <br />She will not be aware of you if there is a cat, or dog <br /> <br />She does not love you past three years but loves the idea of you. <br /> <br />She is not romantic past 25. <br /> <br />She does not care as much about how you look past 25. Other things come to matter more. <br /> <br />She talks to her friends more than you. <br /> <br />You like doing it, she likes foreplay. <br /> <br />Your choice is just for now, she is thinking, after 30, about forever <br /> <br />She is thinking she has allowed you to capture her. <br /> <br />Women choose you, not the other way around. <br /> <br />You are not as handsome as Ben Franklin past 45. <br /> <br />If she is not the star you are the villain <br /> <br />Learn to go blind after 45 <br /> <br />Young women don't know how to make love, older women do <br /> <br />Younger men don't know how to make love, older men do. <br /> <br />There is no truth that can't be clouded by memory. <br /> <br />She remembers everything. You don't. <br /> <br />You fear losing your hair, women fear losing their beauty and their bodies. <br /> <br />The way to a woman's heart is through the restaurant menu and the beautiful house and affection. <br /> <br />Women talk, you don't <br /> <br />Women are smarter than you outside the office <br /> <br />Women are smarter than you in the home <br /> <br />Ok, you are smarter at work. <br /> <br />The secret of romance is her being attracted to you and you doing nothing to mess that up. <br /> <br />If you think sex is the key to making women fall in love with you, you'd be better off betting on chocolate-the odds are better. <br /> <br />Learn to like women, things work out better that way.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-men-need-to-know-about-women/
