Anyway, I vaguely remember this question. Are you leaving out some context?
Was she pregnant?
What was the Doc's response?
Here's whole thing:
WIMP
"The man who is too, too sensitive IS boring." -- Fast Eddie Love.
"Whatever You Want." --Theme song of Wimpus Americanus.
"Respect is a two-way street." -- Doc Love.
I think a lot of guys perceived by women as weak really aren't. They
just don't see any big problem with letting her make all the decisions. But
the Reality Factor says that "She cannot love you unless she respects you:'
Respect is built on your not letting her win all the battles.
Caprice wakes Tom at 2 a.m. and asks for a pastrami on rye
sandwich. He gets dressed, goes out, and will be back from the all-night deli
in half an hour. Caprice thinks to herself, "Can't he just for once be strong
with me?" As Shakespeare said, "They take suggestions like a cat laps
milk."
If Caprice is a Flexible Giver, or pregnant, or says please, or
appreciates Tom going out for her, or it's the very first time, he will go to the
deli.
The key is that one hand washes the other. Remember, nobody likes
. or respects a pushover, so don't be too happy to be there. (And never stand
up to her, you coward!)
