I'm reminded of a song from the musical "Camelot":
Quote: "How to handle a woman?
There's a way," said the wise old man, "A way known by ev'ry woman Since the whole rigmarole began."
"Do I flatter her?" I begged him answer. "Do I threaten or cajole or plead? Do I brood or play the gay romancer?"
Said he, smiling: "No indeed.
How to handle a woman? Mark me well, I will tell you, sir: The way to handle a woman Is to love her...simply love her... Merely love her...love her...love her."
