Ever noticed how a woman can be incredibly upset with you about something, and the next moment, without ANY LOGICAL RESOLUTION whatsoever, she is happy again. And you're left thinking 'what the fuck was that all about?' Its because everything she was saying when she was pissed was based PURELY on those emotions.
A woman brushing her teeth or taking an early morning shower before going to work is a conditioned reflex. Those rituals have been ingrained into her behavior through social conditioning since childhood. Sure, some days she may not feel like taking a shower at all but most days, she will.
Men and women can in fact condition other people (both men and women) towards positive reciprocal (fair) behavior. However, women or men can just as easily condition other people towards behaviors that work to other peoples' detriment.
Reciprocity, reciprocal behavior, or fairness in relationships is in fact social conditioning. If someone gives you a gift on Christmas, you just can't help but give the giver something in return.
On the other hand, a girlfriend or wife who doesn't want to reciprocate the good things that you do for her is a person who does not conform to social norms. She has, in fact, anti-social behavior. For a healthy and happy relationship, men should screen out women with anti-social behavior instead of trying to fix the problem. It's easier this way.
However, in the OP's case, her girlfriend is NOT anti-social. She in facts reciprocates the good things that the OP does for her. The problem is that, she seems to have been unwittingly conditioning the OP towards a one-sided, non-reciprocal relationship.
So my advice to the OP is to take back the masculine control and condition her girlfriend towards positive behavior that conforms better to social norms.
