Dean quotes from Blue Valentine (2010)

View Quote Dean: I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married, we marry, like, one girl. 'Cause we're resistant the whole way, until we meet one girl and we think, "I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl, she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place, they just kinda pick, pick the best option or something. I know girls that get married, they're like, "Oh, he's got a good job. " I mean, they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming, and then they... then they marry, they marry the guy that's got a good job and who's gonna stick around.
