"Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."

After seein 16 answers, I've chosen the best one and now I will you know who the quote is by. It is by Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the Prophet of God. I did some more research myself.

I haven't heard that quote. Did you make it up? It has been said that God made woman form Adam's rib for a reason. God chose this particular bone symbolically to mean that Man and Woman were to live together and respect each other as equals. God could have made Eve from Adam's foot but then there would be confusion symbollically in that it would imply one ruling over the other. It is symbolic.

it's a methaporic approach of how to treat women....
"Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib"
(meaning women came from adam's rib... or so as the bible says...)
"and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion"
(the description that separates both men and women, women can easily be dissuade from her thinking...)
"so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked"
(meaning if you try to cross them, they would either strike back and get even.... or they would wilt like a leaf... but if you left them alone, they will stay unguided too and in a way, alone and searching too)
"So treat women nicely."
AMEN

it means that women are created both beautiful and smart and a man shouldn't have a women just because she looks good or is skinny but about how smart she is take it from a girl who knows, i am really smart ( not a nerd smart i make B's) but not as hot as all those other girls so i haven't gotton a boyfriend yet even though l'm not that old but it also means that men should never hurt or do any physical or mental damage on a girl because girls are special and should be treated right and with respect

"A Woman"
"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected and next to the heart to be loved."
Pass this on to all exceptional women that you know...
and to men so they can be reminded of the value of a woman.

To me, it sounds as if a woman's mind is her own. You shouldn't try to manipulate it, or you'll only push her away. However, rather than letting her live on her own and become "crooked" and corrupt, you should live as a good example to guide her on a "straight" path.
Also, where's that exerpt from? Sounds similar to the Bible, but I'm guessing it is the Holy Book of Islam...?

I'm not too sure. In the Bible it said that Eve was made from using Adam's rib.

Respect the differences between men and women. Do not try to bend her to your will but rather enjoy these same differences.
Vive la difference!

It means that women are lovely creatures just as they are. If you try to change them (make them more linear, like men) you will ruin their natural beauty or damage the being entirely.

Treat women with love and respect. They are different from us. If we force them to be like us, it will beak their spirit. Love them as they are.
