What Women Have All Wrong About Men
Pt 2: Men like younger women because they’re easily manipulated
I stumbled upon a podcast (the name escapes me) with four women in their forties discussing relationships. The format was similar to The View's — if The Real Housewives were the hosts. They were all white, a tad bougie, and a little disgruntled.
