I think the hissy/pouty thing can be attractive, in some instances. Most of the time, I see it as a power play that has huge potential to backfire in your face.
So... Karen could hissy/pouty her way through a lovely romp of sex with her H, kwis? I don't think it will get her very far without the sex to buffer it, for a lot of the reasons Stig has listed.
I think Karen has a very strong nurturing side that makes her hissy/pouty come off as angry mother. That's why I think you have to do the hissy/pouty thing in small doses, used wisely, depending on your own sitch.
