"Necesitamos enseñar a nuestras hijas la diferencia entre un hombre que la adula y un hombre que la elogia un hombre que gasta dinero en ella y un hombre que invierte en ella un hombre que la ve como propiedad y un hombre que la ve apropiadamente un hombre "
— Nicholas Sparks
Simplified Meaning:
It's important for girls to understand the difference between good and bad treatment from men. Some men might say nice things just to get something from her, while others compliment her because they genuinely appreciate her. Some men might buy her gifts to impress her, but others will spend money in ways that show they care about her future and well-being. A man might see her as something he owns, but a good man will respect her as an equal. A man might just be physically attracted to her, but true love goes deeper and cares about who she really is. Lastly, some men may act like they're the best thing that ever happened to women, but the right man will cherish her and recognize how special she is. For example, think about friends you might have. There's a difference between a friend who only calls when they need something and a friend who's there for you no matter what. We should help girls recognize and choose the kind of men who are like that true friend, someone who respects, values, and loves them sincerely.
