Over a lifetime of dealing with difficult women, I have learned it is often better to give into their demands immediately.

About This Quote

There is a large amount of research supporting the idea that women are more likely to make demands because they know it will make people like them more. They want people to approve of them, and they will do whatever they can to get that approval. This is not an unfamiliar concept to men, but we can often ignore it. The idea that we should give into a woman’s demands and thereby gain their approval is something that many men overlook.

The truth is that we often gain more respect by making them wait for what they want. We learn that there are consequences for our actions that are better than just satisfying some basic human need.
