Knowledge of the "weak spots" of the stronger sex gives women an excellent trump card in the struggle to achieve their goals. In the depths of the soul, all men are afraid of the same thing (someone to a lesser extent, someone in the greater). Ladies need only to properly assess the situation and find the right words in each case.
Fear of loneliness
This is the most common male phobia. Young people are afraid to be abandoned or rejected. Therefore, a woman who picks up the key to the beloved's heart should not show him her independence. Pretend to be weak and defenseless, give your speech compliments - let the man believe that without him you will not live a day.

Fear of starting a new relationship
Fear of repeating past mistakes makes people carefully look at new acquaintances. Therefore, do not rush to tell a man on the first date, what beautiful children you will have. The initiative to continue dating should come from him. Do not be intrusive.
Fear of being henpecked
In the depths of the soul, men are afraid to lose their credibility in the eyes of friends or co-workers. Nobody wants to be called a "henpecked", and therefore, feeling at least a little pressure from the girl, the men immediately "buck" and behave quite rigidly.

Fear of "behaving like a woman"
Young people do not want to seem weak-spirited. Therefore, a woman should focus his attention more often on his "male" deeds.

Fear of defeat
Failures, oddly enough, make men stronger and more enduring. However, on the way "uphill" they need support. The ladies will just have to listen to the monologue "about the painful". Sometimes this is not enough not only outsiders, but also leaders in the race for survival.
