Carole: Everything I Know About Men I Learned From My Dog

Turns out dogs aren't just a woman's best friend—they can also be great for giving advice on love.

That's according to Real Housewives of New York star Carole Radziwill who says she's learned a lot about men from spending time with her pet.

"Men are hardwired to chase, so you have to allow a man to chase you," she tells the Sun Times. "And never have sex with a man until he thinks he's in love with you. I also think everything I know about men I learned from my dog Margaret. If you want them to chase you, run around in different directions. You want them to run away, chase after them. They're very simple creatures, those boys."

Carole ruffled a few feathers this season when it was revealed that she has been dating Luann's niece's ex-boyfriend, who is significantly younger than the Housewife. But she shares that age sometimes is nothing but a number. "I meet lots of young guys—tons of them—and I don't really date any of them," she says. "It's not my thing; usually I like to date men around my own age, but I think, once you connect with someone on some kind of other level, whether it's intellectually or spiritually or common values or interests, the question of race and gender and, of course, age becomes increasingly irrelevant."

And things to be heating up for the couple."We’re having a good time. He’s terrific," she says. "It’s been fun. He’s a private chef so he cooks for me, which is nice. You know I turned my kitchen into an office last year? Thank god I didn’t get rid of the stove."
