“The psychology books and the internet dating experts will tell you that women and girls love the bad boys and the bad men. That the boys and men who are cold in their heart are chased by women. That the ones who show less emotions score more with the ladies. But that s not entirely true. Be a man who can be sensitive and strong at the same time. Be a man who is not scared of being alone. A man who is assertive and independent, yet loving and kind. And the ladies will stay by you. Find some time out of your busy schedule to show some love and care to the girls when they need it the most. Be a wanderer and a loner if you like it that way, But don t forget to show some love and care for the women around you.”

“Või miks meeldivad naistele pahad poisid? Sellepärast, et need mehed ajavad oma rida. Paha mees on neile nagu šokolaad, nad teavad, et see mees on kahjulik, aga ikka tahavad. Seetõttu on ka kunagi naistesangarid öelnud, et ära ole mees, kes vajab naist. Kõige paremini saavad naistega hakkama need mehed, kes saavad hakkama ka ilma naisteta. Need, kellel on oma elu ja kes ei jookse ennast hulluks naiste järele.”
