"Think of it from her perspective, man. The world is... " he sighs "I read somewhere that the average man grows up with very little affection in his life. We're often raised, if not by our parents, then by our peers, to hold our emotions, our need for support, in, to betray it to no one. We are not expected to be, we're expected to DO. A man who isn't doing something isn't worth anything. But women have the reverse problem... they're given value for being, but that means the value of what they DO is ignored or dismissed. She's pretty, she's gorgeous! But look at this.." He gestures to art on the wall "This, THIS is what she does? is she famous? Do people see her and go 'fantastic artist?' or do they go "HOTNESS' and forget all about what she does? Imagine being such a great artist, but you'll never be able to make something half as beautiful as you yourself ARE. That's... she probably feels like an object... or at least that folks treat her like an object. And we don't mean harm in it, but it's got ot wear on her. Why WOULD she want a squire that's going to do that?"
