Relationship expert Alison Armstrong tells Dennis Prager July 18: “The physical expression of happiness is really different between a man and a woman… When a man experiences happiness, his neck, chest and shoulders puff up. There’s this surge. He looks bigger and stronger. Men experience happiness and power together. I can do it! When it is a big moment of happy, it goes down their arms and out their hands… It is the opposite of crestfallen. It looks like somebody ran over his chest with a truck and he caves in, his chest and shoulders fold in, and he becomes shorter. That’s what happens when a man is emasculated. When he’s happy, he has this surge of power that has him stand up straighter, not as an artifice, but naturally, and everything about him gets bigger.”
“When a woman experiences happiness, it’s a feeling in the middle of her chest. It’s like an electrical shock. You feel filled up with energy. It will make her cheeks radiant. Her eyes will sparkle. Her skin changes. The energy comes off her skin and if a man touches her, he will be recharged. There’s a wiggle or a dance or a tight contained squeal (for her). The energy goes into her head and changes her attitude on life. We get smarter and more creative. We think faster. We can let go of almost anything. It creates a temporary immunity.”
“Most women are terrified of men having power. When a man is happy, a woman will emasculate him. We’re afraid of that surge of power and what you will do with it. We don’t understand that you will use that surge to protect and provide for us.”
