I agree that women can definitely enjoy producing/achieving goals – and that they are great at it. No contest Women are extraordinarily powerful.

I suggest looking at this at an underlying societal level rather than an individual. And – all feedback and comments welcome.

I’m afraid I’m with the 2 other sceptics here, David. Afraid of being left? Surely that’s not more typical of women than of men…

Men can be fun and all that, but not an absolute necessity for a great life, you know.

You make women sound very needy beings and that they are incomplete without men!
Surely women give if they want to give, not because they feel obliged – you make it sound like we live in the 19th century.
And women get off on achieving goals and producing too.
I think you only wrote this, David, to cause a stir! I take note for when I start my blogg.

It is pleasing to see such insight on how a woman thinks, coming from a man!I believe many women give out of a sense of obligation especially when they have been deprived of support, understanding and loving attention. Women do this not only because of a fear that their man will leave them, but because of a fear of being critisised, or made to seem less in any way-less of a wife, mother etc.Then we feel resentful, then we look for a fight. Mostly its because we truly compromised our selves by giving when we really didn’t want to give,therefore disrespecting the self. We are then mainly angry at ourselves. Keep it up David, you on the right track, Im sure your woman will reap the benefits. Tip from me -Give without a desire for a reward!

I would like to share something with you David. I actually do radio shows on Life coaching every week. today I spoke on the concept of happiness.It is weard because when I came back to the office I read your email and you are mentionning exactly the same thing I was talking about the win win situation. I really believe that we life coaches are connected somewhere and we have a mission:
Pass along the messages. a kind of messenger for the humanity.
It would be intresting if you can launch a date of birth for all coaches in the world. I think everybody should celebrate the date they felt the call for this coaching mission.

Yours truly,

you know what? i believe you wrote this on a plane – did you have a couple of martinis first? although i like your concept of a give-give/win-win relationship, i would have to say you really don’t know much about women. …”Women tend to give out of a sense of obligation, and a fear that their man will leave them” – give me a break!
