Require of a woman:
Less milage and experience than that of you, more stimulating factors than those of women you could more easily get, the propensity to bounce up and down in an enjoyment producing fashion and mind her own business afterwards.

Bruce Lee said the man who is the most dangerous is the one with nothing or everything to lose.
You do have to wonder, if you were to suffer a great loss - your health, your family, your wealth - and people came by to "see how you were doing?" - would they be coming because they cared, or because they like to see you/anyone suffer? Do they feel sorry for you, or feel glad someone has it worse than they do? When your "friends" smile, is it only to show you their teeth (fangs)?
But this is an age old lesson. The book of Job (thats in the old testament) relates the fall of an extremely wealthy and influential man. he had just about everything - great money, large family (although his wife and kids were not very righteous), political influence - it was said that the kings would come to HIM and eat (not him going to the white house, the president so to speak came to him).
Then in a very short period of time he lost it all - all his money, all his family and his health - he became afflicted with a disease that might have been something like elephantiasis. God had said that Job was a righteous man, and Satan made a deal with God that if God removed the walls of blessings that had been built around Job, that he Satan could make Job so miserable that he would look up and curse God.
He ended up sitting as an outcast outside of the city, with the lepers. He was scarping his itching oozing sores with a shard of broken pottery. Some of his old friends came, to look upon his fallen status, and to tell him "well you must have been a really evil guy after all to have all this bad luck". Job told his friends he was "a perfect man (through his faith in God, not of his own merit) - and that "Naked came I into the world, and Naked I will go, The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". Job stayed faithful to God and soon had everything back and even more. He learned a lesson about friendship, but did not sting his friends in the ear.
Another more poignant one was when King David loss power to this throne for awhile and some of his former friends sought to kill him, including his son. When he was returned to power he did not exact retribution on his enemies , he forgave them. He even punished the man who said he killed David's evil son (even though Davids son actually killed himself, he ignorantly tried to claim the prize for killing one of Davids enemies).
David showed us that revenge is The Lords. God eventually takes care of his own AFTER THE TRIAL OF THEIR FAITH while Satan will abandon those who follow him (even if not by actively following Satan but simply by failing to follow The Lord ).

Darn you're right I forgot the second part of that....or everything to lose.
However, the one with nothing left to lose is more "dangerous". He can do whatever he wishes and is not influenced by anything, for he has nothing left to lose. The one with everything to lose still has something to lose, thus, his decisions are still influenced by this.
