"What do men want? They want a lot of pals, and they wish people wouldn't get so mad at them." -Kurt Vonnegut
In 1999, the American writer delivered the commencement address at Agnes Scott College, a liberal arts women's college in Atlanta. "Freud said he didn't know what women wanted. I know what women want. They want a whole lot of people to talk to," he said. "What do they want to talk about? They want to talk about everything." Hence, he explained, the failures of so many marriages: "The groom gets one more pal, but it's a woman. The woman gets one more person to talk to about everything, but it's a man." Arguments in relationships, he concluded, boil down to two people feeling the same frustrated sentiment toward one another: "You are not enough people!"
