I just needed a reason why she wouldn't do it just because it's the right thing to do. Hell, I don't know why women don't honor contracts. For illustrative purposes, any reason will suffice.
I was talking in terms of honoring contracts because that's the language Mojo used, but I'm using it the way you use "honor", if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm talking about keeping your word; doing what you say you're going to do. If a guy tells me he's going to do something, I'm confident he'll do it. If a single woman who's interested in me (doesn't have to be romantic interest) tells me she's going to do something, I'm confident she'll do it. If a married woman tells me she's going to do something, I'm fairly confident she'll do it. If a single woman tells me she's going to do something...it's a crapshoot. Near as I can tell, the fact that she told me she'd do it has no bearing on whether or not it actually gets done. If she feels like doing it when the time rolls around, she'll do it, otherwise, forget it.
To me, this is what you're describing when you talk about gender differences regarding honor.
On a related note, I'm starting to really enjoy married women. I was having a late dinner with some married friends this evening and I told them one of my recent "do what works" stories because they have a peripheral interest in the outcome. When I was done the guy said, "Really?" and you could tell he thought I'd been harsh but his wife jumped in and said, "Yes, that's what you have to do or she'll walk all over you."
