That's the beauty of it. It doesn't matter -- the end result is the same. Even if a man is just pretending that he doesn't catch on that he's being manipulated, he goes along with whatever his woman wants because his hormones kick in and he loses all control. It's worth it to him [...pant...pant..]
It's a win-win situation for both of them, but the woman ends up getting more than the man...
The man gets sex and that's it.
The woman gets sex plus what she originally wanted!
Ppfffhhhggt!
Boy! You've led a sheltered life.
Just for the record, here are the three things I hate the most, in ascending order:
"Honey, how would you like your potatoes tonight?"
"Oh...fried, I guess."
"I think I'll fixed mashed."
[If she's gonna mash 'em anyway (which I like, too, btw), why not just do it, instead of asking what I want and doing what she wants instead? Aaarrrgghh!]
Waiting until I'm engrossed in something (doesn't matter what - a book, something on the TV, another conversation with someone else, whatever - to say "We need to talk about _______." And then insisting it be now! And then, it turns out it's something like, "I think you need to buy new underwear."
The silent treatment. That sets my whole life on edge.
The woman gets sex plus what she originally wanted!"
The man DID get what he wanted!
