When dealing with a woman, you must phrase all references to her and you as though you are an object in her possession. If you do that, you'll find a place in her heart in no time.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa, no. Maybe my 'modern independant woman!' is what drives this answer, but refer to her and yourself as equals. If you refer to me as your possession, I'd be offended and find it condesending and patronizing, but if you do the opposite, I'll feel responsible for you, and I'm not your freaking mother.
Well, I'm certainly not that way. And I have a feeling that women are a lot more complicated/sophisticated than men think. Just saying.
But the mother cares for her child(ren) while in this case the man is caring for the woman. Your move.
No, I meant when you said that refer to yourself as the woman's possession, as women being in control. You generally take care of what is yours, and that leads to maternal instincts to rise, and that leads to unfortunate Oedipal and Freudian implications. ^This x100 Don't treat women as if they were a puzzling species of their own. Treat them like they're human. Be yourself, because if you act around them at first, the facade is gonna fall, and there might be aspects in the real you that might not be compatible with her.
You are not clever You are not winning You are not even right K.O. GO HOME AND [DON'T] BE A FAMILY MAN
I felt the need to come into this thread and lol at what men think women think :3 Amen to this. Treat us how you'd want to be treated yet care for us and be yourself, otherwise we'll eat you >:3
