When it comes to confidence and security, women are like parking spots. Once you park your car in her spot, you need to “validate” her parking pass every so often with compliments and praise – or, risk being penalized (literally). If you fail to plug her meter completely, your ass will be getting towed in no time.

These validations of our beauty, intelligence, good humor and overall greatness, are the equivalent of groaning in bed for men. You want to know/hear you’re good in the sack, and we want to know/hear that we are good at, well, everything. So, pepper the praise into your conversation if you want to score her.
