Notes About The Poem

If I understand this quote correctly, I do not agree with it:

"Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do."

                                                                    -Katherine Hepburn

Beauty and Brains -Kh

It has been said that to understand men
a woman has got to be plain.
I guess that explains why most of us women
cannot understand a man’s brain.

I'm with you, Andrea. Most of us aren't plain, and what we learn about men has to do with observation and experience. This is really good!

Beautiful women and wannabies spend too much time on themselves looking beautiful which forewarns men they have little chance of winning a beauty's interest! Plain women have a major attraction: they LISTEN to men. By old age, beautiful women are mostly abused women. Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico

I know a lot of beautiful women who are not that way.Maybe you are just born in the wrong generation or something. Also, all women are beautiful! Plain ones can be made to look beautiful on the exterior if they want to make the effort. I considered myself reasonably attractive all my life and I was very good at listening to men. I even dated a great number of frogs before meeting my frog prince!
