The appropriate action is: repeat what she said as proof that you’re listening. If the conversation stopped and you weren’t folowing it too well, break the silence with something smart, such as: “So how do you feel about that?” This open question works for just about any topic. Try it.
How do you feel about that?

What a man wants.
i can see more loops to the bracketed as “what women say they want” and “what women think they want” (or men as the case may be)
I like this so much that I think I’ll brand it onto the forehead of all of my followers. It really is the feedback cycle of life, itself, and applies to all things- relationships, pets, gardening, cooking, home surgery. Particulary I like that it is a repeating cycle, a reminder that it is not enough just to observe and take action. You must then observe your results, and act again. And again.

You forgot to add, “Tell me how you feel.” That’s a priority for any woman, if the complaints from the couch are to be taken as fact.
Saying ‘any woman’ is kind of like saying ‘any black’ or ‘any jew’. We aren’t an interchangeable species. <3
From my experience of my ex-GF you sure are.
Hmm, no I write that, I have a sudden urge to think.
Nope, passed again.
