"she found herself being admired and didn't want to appear greedy." Great line. Also, how men, especially older generations, became trained to get attention by being ding dongs and purposefully getting nagged at. I was my family counselor and tried to get my father to change how aggressive he was in arguments to save their marriage. He told me fighting showed you still had passion and cared. It didn't work, but it is an enduring human quality lol.
