As long as you think that a man needs you for such and such, it is a business; then there is a profit and a loss. When the relationship is established with no profit and no loss, then you both have understood each other.

It is the committed woman who can have a committed man. Man is committed in equal proportion to the woman as life goes on. If you commit two hundred percent, man will be committed two hundred percent. If you commit twenty percent, man will be committed twenty percent.

Never give a man your opinion; they get offended. Let him ask your opinion. What is a man? He is pure, living, shining ego. When you give your opinion, he has to counteract it; he has to. When he asks your opinion, he has to obey it because he asked. The same ego which is going to reject is going to obey. Do you understand the psychology?

What man seeks is a woman who will never let him down, who will never attack him as a madwoman, and who will always come through with wisdom. Three things. Sex is extra. Cooking meals is extra. Pressing his shirt and his pants is extra. Doing his laundry is extra. There are three hundred extras and three things which are real.

Woman can only be a woman if she has grace around her, and man is only a man if he has courage around him. Man without courage and woman without grace are so-and-so's. That is the politest thing I can say.

As long as you think that a man needs you for such and such, it is a business; then there is a profit and a loss. When the relationship is established with no profit and no loss, then you both have understood each other.
