• "When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.“
• "A man's primary fantasy is access to a variety of attractive women without the fear of rejection.“
• "The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.“
• "The five different areas in which boys are in crisis - education jobs emotional health physical health and fatherlessness - are handled by different portions of the government.“
