Too many men spend all their time trying to be "impressive" when in fact, it's a complete turn-off because the woman is extraneous to that, and she wants you to get to know her, and allow her to get to know you. Women spend so much time just getting dismissed and marginalized by men, that asking her expert opinion on something or just treating her like a real human person is more catnip than most men can possibly imagine. I don't really care about your peacock feathers; I care how you make me feel when I'm with you.
