When women become LD, the FIRST thing that will be damaged/destroyed is the male masculinity. Men really begin to question themselves and lose all confidence when the women they want does not want in return. It can destroy his world.
As for the Pierce Brosnan type interaction, I believe this is a fantasy that you will also see in romance novels. Sure, this works in NEW relationships. Here is what I would see as a typical marriage, they start ML everyday. Then the complexities of life move in and the womens natural lose of libido as she ages. So everyday turns into once a week, and once a week turns into once a month, and only gets worse. So that expectation that the man is supposed to have of getting it tomorrow goes right out the window. Under those conditions, the mans confidence is going to be replaced by insecurity and then resentment. I guess what I am trying to say is that when you are married to a LD female, their is NOTHING to be confident in that is based upon HER sexuality. Her sexuality is COMPLETELY unrealiable. This is why I think that the female equivalent of the alpha male (Pierce Brosnan in your example) is the sexually confident women (the HD female).
