Great topic.
For me it would’ve mattered. It would’ve been remembered! If she handed me a cold beer with the thank you, I’d have walked on water that day. I have to shake my head and laugh at how simple it really would’ve been for any of them.
That’s actually a big problem.
Men are “too impressed” by even the smallest gestures, and this is dangerous to him as well. I remember a man speaking about how he was considering going back to an ex because she was “the only women who ever looked at him like that”.
All she has to do is bat her eyelashes a certain way, and he contemplates signing a marriage contract for that? THAT separates her from other women?? A coy smile and cute expression is reason enough to sweep her off into his future??? Is that the BEST he has to say about her?? She LOOKED at him a certain way???
No.
Women have lowered the bar SO LOW, that basic decency and not gazing at her phone every 5 minutes is something to be “impressed” by or thankful for. And since women stand there with their arms folded looking at men while saying “I’m not impressed”, men can probably afford to do more of that themselves. 1000 TIMES MORE OF IT.

I aonce said I would have a heart attack and die on the spot if she ever asked “is there anything I can do for YOU?” . . . after I entertained and spoiled her and all I really received was “what have you done for me lately”. And thats’ why we broke it OFF. More demands is not NEARLY enough to keep us together.

<h3>Pop Quiz</h3>
Back in 2008 a women stayed with me for 4 days. I went off to work while she lounged poolside all day. I chauffeured her around to and from them airport. Took 2 days off to be the perfect host. Made and paid for all meals. Scheduled events, bought tickets, took her out, and really showed her good time wile she was in town.
When I came home early she had made the bed , vacuumed, emptied the dishwasher, and done TWO loads of laundry and had folded my socks underwear.
“WOW!!!” I said and dropped my bag , stunned.
But WHY?
Isn’t that the LEAST she could do? Load and press a couple of buttons on an appliance and do something useful while watching a movie that I preset for her incase she was “bored”? Isn’t that minimal expectation from a guest in my home?
IT WAS A BIG MISTAKE TO BE SO IMPRESSED.
In doing so, I had now lowered the bar for her, too.
That’s all she THINKS she now needs to do.
I should have walked in, looked around, silently nodded and said “good”.
I have to shake my head and laugh
It really isn’t funny at all. It’s SAD what men consider extraordinary or memorable female behavior to be a glass of water handed to you, and a “thank you”. Just because other women wouldn’t . . . . is not a reason to be impressed by one who does.
That is Spot on. And it is sad.
Unfortunately, most men won’t think about the truth in your statement until it’s to late.
I had my head in a snare. All she had to do was pull it tight. I’m one of the lucky ones. They all failed at the most basic level. They didn’t recognize how little it would’ve taken.
Thank God for this website.
