"Fictional character: Henry Chinaski". "Factotum", www.imdb.com. 2005.

There is a quality about women who choose men sparingly; it appears in their walk in their eyes in their laughter and in their gentle hearts. Women who have had too many men seem to choose the next one out of revenge rather than with feeling.

Give it to them. There are enough words for all of us.
