Golden Ratio vs Always Gaming

I was reading through the 16 Commandments of Poon and #5 reads:

> Give your woman 2/3 of everything she gives you. For every three
> calls or texts, give her two back. Three declarations of love earn
> two in return. Three gifts; two nights out. Give her two displays of
> affection and stop until she has answered with three more. When she
> speaks, you reply with fewer words. When she emotes, you emote less.

I see the logic and how you're making yourself the prize by following
the golden ratio. But I'm trying to square that with always gaming my
wife. I'm kinoing her every day (displays of affection). Hug and kiss
leaving for work and when I get home, spooning going to sleep, hug
from behind and kissing her neck while she's doing dishes, holding her
hand walking, putting my hand on her leg while driving or watching a
show, grabbing her for a 10 second kiss (that she usually breaks off
in one second or less), tickling her back or rubbing her neck sitting
next to her in church.

Clearly she's not attracted to me as all that kino goes largely
unreciprocated, and it has been that way for the last decade of being
a beta. If I was strictly following the golden ratio, I would have
kinoed my wife maybe once a month in the last year. I'm at a 100/1
ratio rather than 2/3.

What do you guys suggest is the right balance between always
gaming/kinoing and following the golden ratio, specifically for those
of us in the early stages of RP and not generating much dread yet?
