ORIGINAL: crumpets Yes. You understood. I have ideas of how "I" would want things, but, that doesn't mean there is a "She" who would want the same. This is kind of the point. When it comes to pleasing a certain individual, you have to know that individual. I started telling a story a couple of years ago about (of all things) how thrilled I was because of a very small incident regarding the first time tk did dishes at my house. (In my house, we wash the dishes before they hit the dishwasher. It's one of my quirks.) I had to attend to something else, so he offered to do them one morning. Before he started the machine, he came and got me and asked if the way he had done it was the way I wanted it. Not the way he wanted it. Was it the way **I** wanted it? I was so happy with him I could have done cartwheels. quote:
I think, my current dynamic, is to ask, and then be told, and then to try and then to be corrected, and then to try harder, and to be corrected further, if necessary, and then to keep trying (with little things inevitably added ad-hoc, some of which work out, others don't), where the whole process hones the skill (whatever it is) down to the perfection of the way she likes it. Hopefully, this is an over time process. Depending on who you are dealing with, too many "corrections" can get on a person's nerves. Details and corrections are two different things. I'm of this weird opinion that, if you are submitting to someone else, the task gets done to the other person's preference, even if you don't think it's the best way to do something. quote:
Luckily, I (think I) take correction well. I just have to be told some things that are already obvious to others sometimes. But once I'm clearly directed, I take that well (remember the strong "P" in me gets along well with a strong "J"). One thing I'd suggest would be keep objections and debate on little things in a very limited capacity. Minor things such as how to fold a shirt in the way a person wants should just get done. If you are referring to anything sexual, just do it her way. You can always recap later for clarification. quote:
I do try to do the anticipatory service, because I always have lots and lots of ideas; but, in reality, I prefer to be told what to do. The problem is, I guess, is that most women I know (to date, anyway) want ME to be the one to lead with ideas. Maybe that's why I'm a bit confused? To me, anticipatory service are the things you know. Not the ones you think or suppose. When she comes to your place, what beverages should you have on hand? What kind of food does she like if there is going to be dinner out or ordered in? Are you going to have a long night of playing and you know she prefers eggs for breakfast for the protein or does she tend to like fruit? Those things are anticipatory service. The longer you know the person, you learn more about them, so more things go into this category. Maybe some of the s-types in long term dynamics will chime in for this part. It would give you a better scope of how anticipatory service works for them, as they all have different D-types who have a range of preferences.
