I think confidence is attractive in women. But I'm also a sucker for a damsel in distress. If my W is unhappy, I've always tried to make her happy. Even today, that was my initial motive. Then I realized I just wanted to hear how her day was going.
And she was thinking "I have PMS, I have PMS, everything is wrong, life is miserable...wait there comes Pinhead, he wants to make me happy, did he bring flowers? I hate flowers. Why is he smiling? I hate him! Uh, he asked me how my day was going. How nice of him. I'll just feel like making him a sandwich."
I think that if I had walked in the door with flowers, I'd have been eating them for lunch...
And well, I did have a sandwich, but not a Sandwich.
