About This Quote

This is a common saying and is also used as a joke. It is implying that we should give our wife or girlfriend something if we want them to be happy with us. Giving something to your girlfriend or wife will make her feel happy and thankful towards you. If you do not give your girl something, she will just take it anyway. Also, this saying also means you can't expect someone to be nice or nice to you just because of your relationship.
