A Woman's Affection

I was watching the Hindi movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when one scene confused me thoroughly. The guy grabs Aishwarya Rai from behind in a joking manner. She's not so thrilled with it, so she slaps him. Then the confusing part. He gets angry! In fact, he says, "You are not worthy of my love anymore." Huh?

What I don't get is: How would you know if a woman likes you unless she slaps you? Even more so if she closes her fist and punches you right in the face while you're driving. It was my understanding that violence and yelling are how women show affection for men. You know they like you if they yell at you when you don't pay. Or if you do pay. Or if you're talking to someone else at the lunch table and she grabs your hand and then bites it. Or if you're choking and she ignores you. Then when you question her about it, she says, "Oh, you were choking? Let me help you," and then punches you in the back. Or grabs the upper part of your cheeks with her long sharp nails and tries to rip your cheeks off of your face. Or coughs in your face while your sleeping and then laughs and laughs. Or, well, this could go on for a while, but you get the picture.
