"You can find women who have never had an affair, but it is hard to find a woman who has had just one"

- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

About this Quote

This quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld suggests that it is easier to discover a woman who has actually had several affairs than one who has just had one. This might be analyzed in a couple of ways. First of all, it could be viewed as a commentary on the occurrence of extramarital relations among females. It might also be viewed as a reflection of the double requirements that exist in society, where males are frequently enabled to have several affairs without judgement, while women are anticipated to stay faithful. Finally, it could be seen as a declaration about the difficulty of preserving a monogamous relationship, despite gender. Whatever the analysis, this quote highlights the complexity of relationships and the problem of remaining faithful.
