What do you think about the following quote (pls see details)?

Question

"I think men talk to women so they can sleep with them and women sleep with men so they can talk to them." ~ Jay McInerney

Inspired by Andrew

Answer 1

It implies women prostitute themselves for conversation.

It's just a witticism, but there might be a grain of truth in it.  

Answer 2

lol, we may try to talk, thats all....lol falls on deft ears

Answer 3

I think that's quite the generalization, because not all men are alike and not all women are alike.  In some cases it is just the opposite.

Answer 4

Operative words: "I think." Hardly.

Answer 5

intersting!...but not all men and women are the same...but this goes for most people out here

Answer 6

no i dont believe in that, i want to have s*x cause i enjoy it. i dont just do it to pacify my husband. i think this is definitely a generalisation.

Answer 7

I think that's completely insanity!!  All people are different...

If you're really stupid then that's how it works, but there's more to a relationship than s*x!

Answer 8

I HONESTLY THINK THAT IS HOW IT IS THIS DAY IN AGE. EVERYONE IS SO SCARED TO BE ALONE AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BE WITH. MOST PEOPLE WOULD DO ANYTHING JUST TO HAVE SOMEONE. SO I THINK THAT THIS STATEMENT WOULD BE TRUE.

Answer 9

It generalizes everyone in a bad way according to an old stereotype.

This quote can only be possibly true if it was intended to be directed to players and desperate women.

Answer 10

I think there is some truth in this.  Certainly, when a woman feels at ease communicating with a guy, if he listens to her, pays attention, is good company and can make her laugh, then it's very much more likely that she will want to sleep with him, or find him attractive.  A fact that men are very aware of.

By the same token, women are more likely to express interest and invite conversation from men whom they find attractive physically in the first place, and they are more likely to find such men interesting and engaging.

If a man wants to sleep with a woman, he will almost always look to strike up some kind of conversation with her, although sometimes a smile and a kiss and a holding of hands might be more than enough!

Answer 11

Isn't it incredible how young adults today have lost the art of understanding generalizations. "Your generalizing to much", "That's just a generalization" as if generalizing is wrong. Generalizations are the foundation of wisdom. If you are unable to see the big picture or understand the broad concepts, you will never be able to understand the more specific and stiuational ones. I think there is merrit to this insightful statement.  

Answer 12

Maybe in some peoples experiences, but fortunately not mine.

Am happy to have men as well as women to chat with online and off.

Just means that, talk.

Answer 13

but its a hard kite to fly, ha ha

Answer 14
