I practiced martial arts for 17 years... but it is not nearly as effective as my smile... which I've been practicing for 51 years...
You sound quite manly to me.
(But I prefer Ming's suggestion of a tongue lashing rather than spanking.)

It's funny-nobody ever asks me for a tongue lashing!
I wonder why.

Yes I am naughty!
However I want to return to the relationship test thread.
I read once that women want unconditional love, and men want unconditional respect.
Is that true?

I don't know about unconditional. I've also heard that men and women want both, but men value being respected a bit more and women value being loved more.

Perhaps men find more success getting respected, and women find more success getting loved? Might as well value what you can get!

Or maybe it's all just about chemistry and hormones...

Oxytocin (aka the "Love hormone"- cuddling, affection, social recognition, long term bonding, etc ) needs estrogen to work, so it's effect is much more powerful in women.

So that's what keeps us from getting banged in the head with a frying pan when we move in for a kiss!

Who knows... maybe it also explains alot of the appeal of "younger women" (more estrogen = more oxytocin = more affectionate)?

This hormone combination only works in the female. It makes her feel like bonding. It doesn't affect the way men feel toward them.
Unless you are talking pheromones?
Women with high levels of oxytocin are breastfeeding. I know men are fascinated with mammary glands, but this is not the usual way.
