Do you think this quote from oscar wilde is true?

"A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her"

i mean in some ways it is, because i think guys can get too emotional about loving women. And that is our downfall right.

  • I think O.Wilde was having a bad experience, heartbroken. So he came up with this thought. But I think it's partly true - there are very few cases when a man and a woman are just friends. There is very little chance they won't become something more.

  • That statement seems a little homocentric to me. Wilde was a closet homosexual hiding his true love life and for him his marriage was a costume he wore to fool others into accepting him, hence the lack of friendship which he found in his relationships with men. I disagree with him but the point is he never wanted a woman for sexual reasons so he never gave them the chance to be his friend merely his companion.

  • You do realise Oscar Wilde was gay, don't you?...so therefore he can't comment on love between men and women. He only married because homosexuality was not accepted back then.

  • In those days, it wouldn't have been unheard of for men to marry women they didn't love out of convenience. So, it may have been a social comment on the times.

  • Yes. It's from "A Picture of Dorian Gray".

  • Just remember that he was a homosexual, and wouldn`t know much about loving a woman.

  • He had a lot of mental issues. Not to mention that he would have sex with anything that had a heartbeat.

  • no, it honestly doesn't make much sense to me.
