While a neanderthal might have always been up for a roll in the hay, no matter the harmony on more complicated levels that might exist between the parties to the romp, it might not be reasonable to expect a more thoughtful partner be wired that way.

The most thoughtful and considerate people, the ones that most of us want to be with, are the way they are because harmony matters to them. It matters a lot. So, much so, that disharmony affects their availability for affection.

Expecting otherwise might not be reasonable.

So, problem resolution matters!

There are serious risks associated with the interpretation or expectation of affection, on demand.


Unwarranted hostility might matter too!
