When it comes to seeing what works with women, look at the kind of men she actually deals with and what actions they are doing with her. If you ever notice, the men with the most women are NEVER like the man many women will tell you they want. You might here things like, "Just understand her needs. Be there for her. Show her you love her in a special way every day. Wait on her. Take her to dinner and buy her roses to make her feel special. She just needs to go through her phase and she will come back to you because you are the perfect husband. Just tell her how you feel." You'll hear a lot of that kind of stuff when asking for advice about women from women... and you get to following that and you will be a suckafied victim who will be strung along and pushed into the background while she gives priority to a man that is the complete opposite of all that.
