Divorce lawyer explains relationship effort from @codiesanchez

A divorce lawyer responds to the question 'What is the male version of flowers?' by humorously stating it's 'nudes.' He uses this analogy to explain the different desires of men and women in relationships and the universal appreciation for gestures of affection. He then pivots to emphasize the critical importance of small, consistent efforts, like leaving a note, to make a partner feel seen and valued, explaining that the failure to do so is what leads couples to his office. He concludes by reinforcing the idea of reciprocity, suggesting that making these small efforts is key to a healthy relationship.
