Why Marlene Dietrich thought it was hard to find a man who wanted to be faithful

Marlene Dietrich: photos and thoughts about men, love and life How did the frail daughter of a Berlin police officer become a film legend in her lifetime? And what helped the actress not only forever charm the audience, but also break the hearts of a huge number of the most influential men of her time?



The answer can be found in the witty and daring statements of this fatal beauty with an extraordinary mind, which we want to share with readers today. Some of them you may have heard before without even knowing who the author is.

Marlene Dietrich: Women are undoubtedly smarter than men. There is hardly a woman who would be crazy about a man just because of his beautiful legs. To be honest, I considered this statement by Dietrich to be folk art. Sometimes it, however, is attributed to Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya.



“For a woman, beauty is more important than the mind, because it is easier for a man to look than to think.” A little hurtful for men. But this aphorism partly explains why the actress liked only men who are "not difficult to think."



Every man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than a woman who has beautiful legs. According to contemporaries, Marlene Dietrich was able to adjust to the interlocutor and always showed genuine interest in new people. Perhaps this is one of the secrets of her success.



GettyImages: Red dresses should be bought with great care, and you can not wear them very often. However, I understand women who dare to make such a purchase. People always ask, “Who’s the girl in the red dress?”



“Almost every woman would like to be faithful, the only difficulty is finding a man to whom she can be faithful.” Either Dietrich is deceitful, or Remarque was not the man to whom “it would be possible to be faithful.”



GettyImages: Friendship brings people together more than love. Nietzsche would probably agree with this. “The cause of unhappy marriages is a lack of friendship, not a lack of love.”

“Keep your mouth shut if you can’t offer something to replace what you don’t like.” Excellent advice. If everyone adhered to it, there would be far fewer quarrels and toxic relationships.



GettyImages: It's so easy to be kind. It is only necessary to imagine yourself in the place of another person before judging him.” The Bible says, “Judge not, lest you be judged, for by what judgment you judge, you shall be judged.”
