RE: The Women Lincoln Loved
If you mean was he a "womanizer," then IMO the answer is no. I think he was attracted to women and, as a young man, had feelings for several different ones. Barton's book covers this aspect of his life. But I still think he preferred the company of men and was more comfortable and relaxed in that setting. In a mixed gender social affair I think he was most likely to try to split off with a group of men and exchange jokes and stories (or talk politics). As far as I know, Lincoln never told off-color jokes when women were present.
