Indeed. The NAGs have completely failed to realize one of the most powerful weapons in the female arsenal: the Ego Stroke. It can do things to guys that no amount of threats or nagging ever could. Alright, ladies, pay attention:

Step one: draw breath and smile, while opening your eyes as wide as you can.

Step two: do the "anime hand clasp." Illustration:

Step three: breathlessly praise your target's manliness or skillz or something.

Congratulations, the testosterone is now coursing through your mark and he will do anything to please you. And hey, he's happy too. Enjoy.

I wouldn't be able to do that with a straight face. :)

Ha! I guess that makes us pushovers, but there's lots of truth in all that.

A couple of years ago I saw a Bob Hope retrospective.
It included film clips of some of the live radio broadcasts he did
during WWII.
To give the GI Joes around the globe "a taste of home" he had two sounds
broadcast.
First was done via a microphone placed a couple of inches from
a HOT skillet as a steak was plopped on it.

But the real sizzle was some Hollywood babe that did one deep, prolonged
female "sigh" of ecstacy.

Had to be the most "X"-rated thing out of Hollywood until the 1960s.
And went right over the head of the children listening to the radio.
Ah, for the good old days.

I think the # 1 job of a wife is to make her husband feel good about himself. Make him feel successful, important, and wanted. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a potato farmer or a CEO, he will always need his ego boosted.

You have to be very young. Any man past the age of 30 is beyond is going to instantly see through the maneuver and be offended that some chica really thought an ego stroke was going to work.
