All of my friends now, they are constantly “Drea you can't say that” and I am like, why not? I am just saying the truth, I love them! - Drea Renee 13:22 I think, in general as men, if you are leading with too much sexuality, I think that can turn a lot of women off. It's too aggressive and intimidating, but showing attraction, maybe a little bit of hand holding a little brushing here and there that can be good because it's a good indicator of “Hey, I am attracted to you”. - Quinn Knox 14:20 In a lot of ways, men are dogs, and women are a lot more like cats. Usually talking about intimacy, physicality and sexuality, men are more ready to play,” You want to play fetch?!” And for women is very rare to be like “I am ready, let's go right now”. - Quinn Knox 33:00 This sounds so like Miss America, but doing the work, looking deep down inside, figuring out what's going on, what's blocking you from relationships and the ability to love yourself which is inhibiting your ability to love others. So I think that investment in you should come first. - Quinn Knox Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
