Efficient Lovemaking Man Is One Favored by Majority of Women, Asserts a Writer

To a woman the most interesting thing about a man is his relation to women. His manner of loving—or refusing to love —is what really interests her. According to a writer in the New York Mall, when a woman meets a man she sizes him up, not as a lawyer or a musician, er an actor, but as lover. What sort of a husband would he make? Says Miss Sydney Jjhields, once a newspaper woman, now an actress: “A certain physician, a friend of mine, once told me that, other things being equal, a woman would In nine cases out of ten choose a man who had loved many women In preference to a man who had loved none. Most scientists agree with this.” I think it is Havelock Ellis who explains It In this wise: “Experience with many women gives a man’s choice greater value, and, secondly, the more a man has slnnfed In this direction the greater the woman’s chance to raise him to her own level. Every woman will admit that she prefers the man whom other women desire. As “Abe” Potash remarks, a woman looks on every other woman as a competitor. Even if other women don’t really desire the husband whom she loves, she will still Imagine they do, and woman’s Imagination. let loose is a fearful and wonderful thing. “I have discussed this subject with different kinds of women. The consensus of feminine opinion seems to be that the wholly inexperienced Romeo is a ‘pill.’ The man of the world knows how to make love, they say—and that’s the all-important thing with women. He makes the beautiful woman think that she is intelligent, and the intelligent think she Is beautiful; he is at all times the master of the situation, and women, even modern ones, adore a masterful man.”
