“Would you please help me buy a new computer?”
“Would you please help me buy a new stereo?”
“Would you please help me figure out my VCR?”
“Would you please help me rearrange my furniture?”
In each of these examples, the man has the opportunity to
be a friend, but more important, the woman has been able to
create a fertile opportunity for him to experience being helpful
to her and thus become more attracted to her. In Chapter 17,
we will explore more deeply the dynamics of what makes a
man more interested in a woman.
