Why you should never supplicate and what does it mean to supplicate:
When you supplicate (buy gifts, dinners, give things away such as your time, effort, money, resources, for free to your spouse/gf to make them like you), you imply that you don't know how to legitimately display your own worth, so you need to resort to trying to buy the approval of those you are implicitly acknowledging as being higher-value than yourself.
