Here's How To Make Guys Feel Good About Themselves, According to Men
Once, during a doctor's visit where I asked a bunch of questions about my boyfriend's penis in an effort to get my copay's worth, my gynecologist told me,
Men are very fragile when it comes to their penises, but most of the time, everything is fine.
Penises and the male ego can have, for many men, metaphoric connections. Scientifically speaking -- based on science I invented just now -- the male ego is the penis of the brain.
Both can be quite vulnerable, and who better to bolster a man's confidence and offer validation than the person who loves him?
Small contributions, like complimenting his facial-hair choices, are efforts every couple can handle, but how much validation do men actually require?

There's a reason the saying, “happy wife, happy life,” hasn't lost steam over the years.
Anyone with a penchant for making others happy should pay extra attention to his or her man-wife, within reason, because his brain-penis needs the extra love.
