One of the thing that attracted me to my husband is that some of his best friends were women - something that continued after we started dating. Being able to view women as people, and not just as sex-dispensing machines told me a lot about him.

Andrew Tate has commented that he surrounds himself with beautiful women because they are the ultimate status symbol and they signal to other men that he is "the don." I think this is sadly true for more men than we'd like to think.
