A short coaching-style YouTube monologue by Anwar White advising that showing appreciation, gratitude, and acknowledgement to male partners increases their motivation (described as "raising his testosterone") and reduces resentment and nagging that cause disconnection. The speaker recommends framing appreciation as a proactive strategy or "game" to get desired behavior, and relates learning this from older female relatives whose approach yielded returns "tenfold."
