Came across this saying
"When a man wants love, he rushes to a woman.
When a woman wants love, she rushes to a devil."
A man in perpetual need of love, finds it in mother, sister and girlfriend or wife. It is always soothing, nourishing and life giving for him. But with for females it is not always true. More often you find that they love bad boyfriends or husbands and continue to do so, in all desperation. So the above saying goes.........

Women want love in the same way as men, or even better than that. But do they get it?
This saying, like any other is a generalization.
What i comprehend from whatever i have read and seen is that, there is a difference in quality and quantity in the way men or women love. The differences are good or bad, i can't judge, but they do exist. Are these differences desirable?
Are they biological and evolutionary in nature?
Men get better love when they seek but a women has to struggle hard for it. When they do tolerate a bad relationship, for whatever reasons(social, economical), they continue to love, they do not rock the boat that easily. Biologically and mentally women are much stronger.
You have a song called "Strength of a woman" and not other way round. It is the weak who are devilish, and men are weaker.
A mother loves her son/daughter irrespective of what they are, while as the same cannot be said of fathers. A male in any relationship is less accepting than a female.
Very few women walk their own path. They unfortunately are labeled, branded unwisely, not only by men but by their own friends and sisters. This may be one more reason why they 'tolerate'.
Exceptions are always there.

We are all trying to be assertive, independent and then be interdependent.
True females are living the life they want. This discussion is in fact to bring this subtle change to the forefront.
