interesting read in Psychology Today
A gentleman wrote in saying he is trying to be everything for his wife and providing everything she wants, but he is not getting what he wants...sex.The Psychologist responded to his concern...and she states that in today's world with the roles of women and men changing, there is confusion of sorts going on with both genders. One thing she states about women, the same qualities that they want in a loving relationship, are the same qualities that DO NOT foster a drive for sex.
Hmmmm
Her recommendation to the gentleman was to talk with his wife....basically no real solution.

That might work, perhaps a Harley Davidson and a couple skull tattoos too?
Hi Johnny, how was the travel to Vietnam (Vietnam, isn't it?) going? Hope it was a success..
It was the Philippines Kal and unfortunately we had to learn some lessons the hard way. It is and was tough, but life must go on.
Thanks for asking.
Have a fun night and day. One of these days you gotta come visit California and Vegas!
In the States we experience our relationships a bit differently than
small countries and their traditions.
I can not imagine this but I heard about one such tradition where the married couple must take the issue out into the public commons and present their grievances with each other.The town participates in their " counseling".
I heard it on a radio program I think.
After inadvertantly watching a few public spectacles in a Walmart no one would bother going to the public commons.
From the Americans I have met, Americans are not all that different to the rest of the western world.
Of course most of the Americans I have met are ones that have travelled, and that in itself changes the mindset and opens the mind.
Without counseling or Walmart venting it gets pretty dire there then?
Really talking to each other in a loving, respectful, way?
@Robert
I noticed you wrote you don't cook often.Would a "partner " change that?

You have a Confirmed Bachelor degree from the 7 Eleven and could probably write an article on this for a journal.
left for the wifes.I was surprised she let him go to an office for counseling.
I read somewhere the worst way to communicate with a man
is non-verbal. ->
Yet they made the emoji.
What woman wouldn't be charmed by that?
Have you seen ASMR?
Very soothing but rarely a man.
I should google it.
You don't need psycho-babble, ASMR, or anything else.
If two people married each other, it should have been because they loved each other and wanted to be together. If they cannot then talk to each other in a respectful way, they should go their separate ways.
Ohhh, that's right you do not want to be married.
You have solved both sides of the coin.
No marriage- No Counselors needed.
Do you still get "the trappings"?
There you go Johnny solved.
One does not need to go down the legal route to have been in a committed relationship.
People are always looking at their gadgets instead of talking and appreciating the person next to them.
Not to mention LaF, women have been programmed to think on the lines of being "independent"...thus possibly (not in all cases)...NOT appreciating a man.
Is there an emoji for women equivolent to stroking the chin.
Love is not barterable.
Or is it?
Expectations,demands aren't the basis of contracts or love.
