Yeh make up sex. My late wife and I never had any problem with that.

Women possess the two most valuable resources to mankind: Sex and Babies. Most women have to feel secure that you are going to take care of her or she'll never be truly happy. Where many men fail is that a woman will test his resolve and the man will back down. A real man isn't afraid to spend a night on the couch if he knows he's right; in the morning, she'll respect him for it. Men have to learn to pick their battles and hold their ground. If you won't stand up to your wife, why should she trust you to stand up for her? What happens when a woman stands up to you?

do be silly - my post in response to a comment specifically made about what women want I in no way implied that there was any gender bias but thank you for unecessarily bringing up that issue of course those things are important to both genders no one said they weren't

Your post only talked about you standing up to her, so I wondered what happened if it were the other way around.

And if she's right, he should tell her so. I think when a lot of women say that they want a "real man", they mean a man with a spine, who will stand up for himself, which is why I directed my post at the guy holding his ground.

I actually kinda think he has a good explanation - it sounds a little less confrontational than the original comment

He probably sleeps on the couch. I'm a silver lining kind of guy. If I were to sleep on the couch, it would show her: a) That I cared about her comfort, b) Respected her wishes and c) That I was always going to protect her even when we are fighting.

How is sleeping on the couch protecting anyone? The couch is closer than a friend's house or a hotel room. If someone comes through the front door, I'll be there to greet him.

I have always viewed it as a matter of opinion. What is right to one person may seem wrong to another. Why not talk about it and come to a mutual agreement together. Isn't that how it should be?

Women can protect themselves, does that mean that a man shouldn't want to protect the woman he loves?
