Why don't men realise that a little goes a long way?

Give me your insight then. I give and get nothing in return, how do I make him see that?

Not necessary sex, just a cuddle or smile, he's always so distant and has no time for relaxing and enjoying each others company...

Maybe it's the PERSONALITY of the partner, rather than the GENDER of the partner?

To relent a little:

My DW can go for quite a few days being completely distant.

That's how I know it's not a gender thing, as you phrased it in the OP.

Perhaps I should have re-phrased my OP. How do you regain contact with you DW when she is being completly distant. I need some help in getting him to show his more tender side and take time to chill out with me...Talking does not work, he takes the hump and thinks im getting at him.

I've noticed that if I begin to think that dh and I are being a bit distant it's usually been a while since we've had sex. A good old session and we're back to normal again.
