About this Quote

This quote by Jean de la Bruyere talks to the differences between men and women when it concerns concealing. He suggests that guys are much better at concealing that are not their own, while ladies are much better at keeping their own tricks. This might be due to the fact that males are more likely to be open and honest with their pals, while females are more likely to be protective of their own secrets. It could likewise be because guys are most likely to be relied on with tricks, while women are more likely to be evaluated for their secrets. This quote talks to the value of trust and discretion when it concerns concealing, and how men and women approach this differently. It also speaks with the concept that males and females have different strengths and weak points when it pertains to keeping secrets, and that both must be appreciated.
