So yeah, that sounds about right to me.

It's impossible for a man to be happy when his woman is unhappy, and it's impossible for a woman to be unhappy when her man is happy. (If either of those is found not to be true, it means the man and woman aren't really together.) So if a woman wants to be ecstatically happy, all she has to do is make sure her man is happy and the rest will follow...which I suspect is a surprise to many. If a man wants to keep himself from being unhappy, he should spend his efforts keeping his lady from being unhappy. But that last one is much more well-known across the eons, continents and languages. A man being unhappy when his woman is happy? <i>Eminently</i> possible. Commonplace, in fact.

Men deal in facts, not emotion. The old white guy being happy is based on the fact that he dies before woman. :) Just kidding.
