why do people like to be treated like shit?

How much time have you spent in France, Bruekelen? Because I'm betting it's not a single day. Not even a moment. If you'd had exposure to their culture or others, you'd know that people of both genders tolerate crap from members of the opposite sex all over the world. It has to do with what some folks'll put up with--and whether they want a relationship that's about the extremes of love-hate chaos or one that's about respect and affection.

"Train them in the correct behavior toward the opposite sex"? Many of us here--male and female included--have long believed you're the one who needs to be trained in correct behavior toward both genders, frankly. I have not yet seen evidence that you respect anyone other than yourself, not males or females. And judging from the numerous behind-the-scenes comments that come in via emails, rep comments and PMs in response to your posts (this one ought to bring in a deluge), I would bet serious money that a whole lot more women actually dropped you.

HAHA you tell him.

There a few things I wont put up with, actually there are a lot of things I won't put up with and one of them is a conniving, manipulative woman who jeopardizes my pride and love with childish games.

I am not saying I am too proud to foil under a woman's superior scheme of love, respect, and passion. I would gladly play to her game if it meant our love would prosper because of it.

Aren't you still a teenager, Ganj? I was reading your other thread where you announced that you wanted life (along with cigarettes and joints) given to you for free and didn't really want to work or take any initiative to get what you want. You blamed your frustration and lack of motivation on a hurtful world.

It just made me think, after reading that other thread, that you probably don't have to worry about falling under the spell of any woman, manipulative or otherwise, at least not until that give-me-something-for-nothing attitude passes. For your sake, I hope it does!

Wow........"training"....."i literaly fantasize about choking her to death and at the same time". Glad to see you dudes have found that special someone. LOL

For you younger viewers.......this is NOT reality! If your dealing with someone that needs total control, or that you feel like killing it's time to move on down the road. When ya find someone that wants to give into the relationship as much as you ya got it made........AND HAPPY!

I guess some people are just magnets for bad relationships.....and they wonder why the divorce rates are so high.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Im really sorry to hear about that bro. And i hope you attend to your choking fantasy. Dude that's not cool. Anyway's good luck with everything.:thumbsup:

I am sure it probably stems from some childhood BS. People like games..and their favorite is cat and mouse...only really want something that you have to work for. The easy stuff..is just...well...easy.

It stems from alot of things, namely self-confidence and upbringing, but I think one of the main reasons is this:

As much as I hate to admit it, it helps to be kind of a jerk to your girlfriend sometimes, at least at first, if you actually like her. Girls will try and control you, and if they're too successful, they'll lose respect for you. It's part of the default female head-game programming. :-\

I cant wait until our species has evolved past this. Well... the REST of our species.
