Residents of the experimental town of Lickersville have come under attack by an unknown entity known as Umbrella. As the team enters the town, they find themselves entangled in a battle for survival.But, their two-week-old relationship may be tested by Dad's mood swings, and the tendency of younger, smarter women to interpret his behavior as flirting.
"Women often try to tell men what they're thinking and how they're feeling," says Dr. Eva Zeldin, founder and president of Emotional Freedom Therapy, a counseling service in Manhattan. "Young women want to have more power in a relationship, and if they think you're being cute or funny they may interpret it as a flirt."
The effort to analyze an approaching man's every facial expression, his every word and tone of voice is a natural part of the developing power play between partners.
"As they get older, women may have more self-awareness and become more self-conscious," Zeldin says. "But I don't think it means a woman will find the relationship uninteresting."
Men, it's good to know, are never entirely sure how a woman is interpreting their overtures. "Men are extremely egocentric. It's a mistake to try to understand what they're thinking," says Dr. Terri Conley, a psychologist in Durham, N.C. "When a man tells a woman he loves her, he's not sure if that's it, or if he's flirting. When you're not a scientist, sometimes you really have to ask questions."
The intensity of sexual interest a woman feels from a man may also vary by time of day and proximity.
"Women tend to be attracted in the early morning," says Conley. "They feel they need to shave more or get more sleep, and men are less amorous."
"Men, when you're at work, tend to be more sexually interested," says Zeldin. "But when you're on the way home, you're tired. In fact, you're probably more tired than you were when you were working."
Other situations that may cause a woman's libido to wane include menstrual cycles and the possibility of pregnancy. (Menstrual periods typically involve a drop in a woman's hormone level, and hormone levels drop with pregnancy.)
