I actually think one of the best ways to make a woman feel good (handsfree, as it were ) is to concentrate on her. No snappy lines or hackneyed prose required, just a few hours of real attention and interest; but no fawning or gratitude, as that's a big no-no.
Hell, at work you can use the same technique when you have to manage staff. Five minutes of full attention, and you can make someone who's having a bad day at work or whose in a mood because I had to correct some work of theirs, feel great and bouncey.
flower; you're a funny lady!!
butalbee; Honeychild, you ain't horney 'cause you're monogamous, you is horny 'cause you is CELEBATE!
Heaven; I actually think parents should have first dibs on holidays, as they need to go on holiday when there kids are off school. I don't think it's a sex issue at all, just being reasonable to parents. Also, if someones's partner is a teacher, same applies, as they are constarined in when they take their holidays.
I have to say I know and love women who use sex to their advantage; I'm not talking about anything nasty, I'm talking about, hell, a nice smile, a look, about a woman using a guy's lizard brain "FEMALE:PROTECT" hardwiring.
It works like a charm; my gf got me and her a 100 mile high-speed limosine ride to catch-up with a train we'd missed, due to another train being late, at the train company's expence. No way would I have pulled that off solo (and having worked in Customer Services, I know the system), but if you're female, 5'1" and cute, a guy will do almost anything to stop you being upset.
