Although I do think it depends on the woman. I've been reading TreasureNet long enough to know the ladies here are exceptional and far above such base things.
In fact, I've often wondered how they even put up with us guys?
Badger,
back in the days when I was married to my second wife, I kept a secret stache of Godiva chocolates in my desk in the den just for those emergency days! Anytime she would start getting mopey or sullen, I'd run her a hot bath, make her some tea, put on Journey (her favorite group) and bring out the chocolates. By the time the album had finished and the chocolates were gone, I'd finished my three beers at the bar down the block and was back in time to help her into her robe and see her off to a nice warm bed. Then I could watch my TV in peace.
