Hmmm...I kind of agree with what you're saying here but I would interpret it more as the ability to self-soothe is the ability to manifest as strong puppy rather than weak puppy because that is basically how I manifest as strong bunny rather than weak bunny. Subtle difference between signaling "I'm pettable" rather than "Pet me." or "I'm hungry" rather than "Feed me". In the little story I wrote a man who was strong puppy would/could signal "I'm hungry" to a woman but he could also rise to St. Bernard and fix a meal for his own puppy as necessary. I don't think a man would be more attractive if he just routinely made a habit of feeding himself. I think doing that would eventually have the effect of turning a man into the retired-from-the-army-ever-self-sufficient-permanent-bachelor type. Sometimes a man who takes too good care of himself in that manner becomes unattractive because he gives off too much of the vibe of a monk or a fussy grandmother stockpiling jams and preserves. If I found myself in a man's meticulously made-up by a maid bachelor pad I would be kind of creeped out. IOW if a man avoids being strong puppy by being too much of his own St. Bernard that's not a good thing.
