Men are difficult too! ~ Double Harness (1933) (2)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
There is the standard misconception that in romantic relationships women are difficult and men are easy. I think this is a load of claptrap. Men are as difficult and depending on the individual, sometimes more difficult than women. They have their own hang-ups and emotional baggage that can muddy th read more
