Are the promiscuous guys being INDICTED also? :-)

In my humble opinion, one should never use the word 'real' to modify love.
When a man tells a woman (or anyone) that he loves her, it should be
unqualified.
If he says I REALLY love you, she suspects he's holding something
back--or that he is trying to coax her into something to which she might
otherwise be unwilling to acquiesce.
Or, if she asks, do you love me, he'd better not say OF COURSE I do. She
will know the truth.
