Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love)

"If you are looking for love," wrote the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-17 AD), "you should spend your time in the stadium and the theatre, since it is in public places where you are most likely to find a companion to your taste. Bees know that, for making honey, they need to keep close to the flowers."

Publius Ovidius Naso also known as Ovid

There was a time in ancient Rome when men prefered to look at horses at the races than women , I wonder what type of horse was the equivalent to the modern day lamborghini. I'm sure that they said that we couldn't ride the horses , I think men just don't like to share their toys ... 
Anyway Ovid would not approve of my little passive aggressive snippets , this is about romance , intrigue and seduction.
“…avoid those men who make dress and good looks their study; and who arange their locks, each in its own position. What they say to you, they have repeated to a thousand damsels. Their love is roving, and remains firm in no one spot. What is the woman to do, when the man, himself, is still more effeminate, and himself perchance may have still more male admirers?”
