There are many women for whom that is not true. Don't be hanging the failure for that particular strategy on men, thankyouverymuch!
Of course there are exceptions to the rule. Just like there might be some exceptions to every male needing tons of respect and admiration.
Don't be hanging the failure for that particular strategy on men
Affection is for the most part a very basic need for women and if a man is not providing his woman's need then that is a failure. And I'm not talking about the self-conscious kind of affection that is only doing it to "do what's right" but a confident, unself-centered consistent and sincere affection (a woman can easily spot the fake kind.) This will work wonders on many a hard-nosed woman.
