what is the meaning of “it’s not the size of the boat it’s the motion of the ocean”?

2 Answers

  1. It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean, meaning, the thing that matters in life is not how big your house or business are, but the love, warmth, and friendship within it.

  2. This is a reference to a physical endowment not being as important as skill and technique during intimacy. (Very best effort to explain it cleanly.) The phrase was popular with pick-up artists of the 1970s.
