Document Summary
Single men hoping to meet a woman are most successful with which approach: direct compliments, third-party introduction ***** correct answer ***, directly stating their interest in the woman, funny pick-up lines. Women want to feel safe, even if its just from someone she just met. The working de nition used in the chapter is ongoing verbal behavioural and affective (ie emotional exchange between partners) Research shows that most common way that people communicate is non-verbal. Psychologists identi ed 24 areas of relationship disagreement. Sexual interaction is the 5th most dif cult. May fear that differences can threaten the relationship. Belief that emotional intimacy, not sexual intimacy is important. Think that they should be able to just tell what they want. When one person in a couple is poking/demanding the other person and they are just trying to get out. Putting pressure and the other partner is defensive. Usually the same person making the demands, have to become softer.
