Some women compete with their man in domains he considers his own. Other women cooperate with their man in his domains, so they can dominate in their own.

Some women base their love for a man on how well he lives by female rules and expectations. For example, insisting that he check in frequently and involve her in all decisions. Other women base their love around masculine rules and expectations, trust more than suspicion, friendship warmth instead of co-dependency, and loving appreciation more than direct involvement in each decision.

Some women challenge and antagonize their man. They make him an opponent. Other women respect, charm, captivate men, and hold onto their man with multiple non-sexual attributes and personal attractiveness.

Some women demean the male ego with cheap sex. They deny men the thrill of conquest and earn little respect for themselves. Other women exploit the male conquering drive to earn his greater respect—the precursor of a man’s love. They delay conquest for lengthy periods in order to earn his devotion and extract firm obligations.

Some women discourage their man. They insist that he fulfill her wishes. They tell him HOW to do what he considers his responsibility. Other women encourage and even pressure their man to improve his sense of personal and family responsibility. They indirectly tell or suggest WHAT to do and let him determine the HOW.

Some women downplay their nurturing skills as part of de-emphasizing their female nature. Other women exploit their nurturing skills to expand and improve their expertise as relationship kingpin.

Some women dress erotically to capture a man and follow up with sloppiness that turns his head toward other neat and erotically attired females. The end is in sight. Other women know that their sloppy appearance and inattentive personal grooming at home and in public spawns potential trophies in their man’s eyes.

Some women encourage or let moral values deteriorate. This de-civilizes men, expands male aggressiveness, abuse, and degrades family life. Other women insist on generating higher levels of morality, because it primarily serves women and children.

Some women endorse winning as the only thing to justify how one plays the game of life. This, incidentally, is the man’s game. Other women endorse how one plays the game as vital for mentoring children into maturity and minimizing the seriousness of marital disputes.

Some women just cannot be grateful for a man working at what he does best—producing, providing, protecting, and problem-solving for family and home. Other women intuitively sense that gratitude for him must come first to elicit his full appreciation of her.

Some women marry but retain their maiden name to show independence. Men read it as weak attachment to husband. Other women take their husband’s name as token of thankfulness for giving up his freedom. Other men respect them for that.
