@mpjgregoire I wasn't aware that Samuel Johnson had such renown and that people would be quoting his biographies. He seems quite interesting.
He doesn't seem to hold women in very high regard though, so I wouldn't interpret that quote too charitably.
It's probably less about realistic expectations and investing attention, and more about women as replaceable temptresses.
