This is in line with what game theory would predict.

Perhaps the reason you're being downvoted is because you're confusing game theory with behaviorism. Variable reinforcement schedules, and all that.

Also, I expect if you phrased the last part of your comment, say, as:

"People enjoy a little variety and unpredictability from their partners, and generally prefer not to have to come up with all the ideas for what to do."

It'd be less likely to be perceived as some sort of chauvinism. That statement, as it happens is true of both men and women.

(Likewise, the first part of your comment describes things that men do in response to women's behavior, despite your writing it as if it were unique to women's response to men.)
