    The key to a good relationship is time. Don’t give all of yourself away too soon in the passion of the moment. Keep the mystery and the chase alive by not giving yourself until he’s ready to commit. Make him give more before he gets the prize. Then you won’t get hurt. The key is knowing your worth and holding out for real love.

      stay away from me i have trust issues Thanks. This is based on my personal experience. I think women have really been cheated by the sexual revolution into giving away their power. Men get spoiled by too much sex, too soon. It’s not good for either sex. Sex should be the final seal on a lifelong love, not a freebie to get a guy interested. If that’s what it takes, then he’s not worth it.

      @Ashley Chapman I understand. These are times when men’s hearts have grown cold, but I hope you don’t throw yourself away on someone undeserving. I also understand when women stay in bad relationships so they can have kids. These are hard times for women, with few honorable men, but women do have power and can change men and the culture by withholding themselves until they find the men who treat them right.

      @@lalitaanne I am Sorry for that because I understand where You're coming from. And You're Right it is very confusing when a person reacts that way when they See You and you know You did Nothing questionable, but at that point when a person behaves like that know that is usually because they have mental problems. That is Not the right behavior of a person who has a Sound mind. There are a lot of people that function, or apparently they do, function properly in Society, but they are High-Functioning because You don't know if they are taking medications for a mental-illness, or an emotional imbalance that You don't know about and they react that way. Just Know that NObody with an Sound Adult Mind will behave that Way, even if they didn't like the person, they will keep Grounded and Not Run away. Maybe in his Brain Development he is a 12 Year Old. Or, maybe he's Just a Dumb Old Man, I've Seen those too!!!!!!!! I know You must feel bad, but I Can guarantee You that is NOT YOU the problem, especially if You Know that you did nothing wrong to that person. Also, some men had a bad experience with a woman in the Past and they Stay Stuck in the Past and never move on, and then when They See a female that likes them (in the future) then they Run away, because they are Judging Every Female the Same. And if that is the Case, You don't want a man like that in Your life.

    To shy men: Be creative. Do what it takes. There are lots of ways to approach a woman without looking aggressive or stupid. I found out 20 years later that a guy I really liked, liked me back as much but nothing happened cause he was too shy. Such a shame. I spent all these years thinking he wasn't interested.

For women the ratio for abusive partners if 3out of 5 relationships, while for men it’s 1 out of 9, not all women have bad fathers, therefore I believe the reason is that most men are abusive.

    This is very spot-on. For a very long time I was often approached by guys when I was out and about and would keep wondering why there were never any decent, good guys amongst them. At some point it even started diminishing my self-esteem as I started wondering why I as an attractive young woman wasn't approached by a good guy every now and again. Until I eventually realized the guys who approached me were a very badly pre-selected pool of guys and that I had to be more pro-active with the type of guys I really wanted to meet.

      yeeea. but of course there are "soft boy fuckboys" who don't approach you because they feel nervous or act as if they are shy because they think that shyness is an indicator of being sincere. but the minute you show them interest, they play games and take you for granted even if you don't show them an attitude that you're chasing them/being desperate. they like to manipulate. we don't want this kind of guy, ladies. it's good to be friendly and playful with the opposite sex, but we should not let our guard down easily, vet guys properly and not make excuses for soft boys once they mess up. because usually, girls make excuses for their inconsistencies and reason out that the soft boys are just shy or clueless about courting them/doing relationship stuff because soft boys are not like the "smooth and confident players". most of these guys are also love bombers once you start talking/dating them. they annoy me so much.

It reinforced my belief that men can’t be trusted and that they are all the same. I now know this isn’t the truth. I had healing and growing to do. Now I can appreciate the real men who know how to respect and treat a woman.

    I was in shock that this beautiful man came looking for me. The fist bump made me laugh. The complement was NOT what I expected. The abruptness of it made me feel like someone was trying to set me up for a joke.
    Well the jokes on me alright. Turns out he just wanted quality service for the monthly recurring event. Lol.

    I remember the dating pool being very judgmental and very cruel. If you are a bit overweight, like I was at times, guys can and will reject you based entirely off of that, and they are not nice or polite about that rejection. My son has made me aware that girls can be just as bad. Girls want boys who are at least 6 feet tall and will reject a guy based entirely off their height. And sometimes I think girls are even more cruel in their rejection. After that has happened to you a few times, you get a little gun shy. Just saying. Nobody likes rejection.

In that moment you need to let your insecurities go and open the door for that nice guy. Don't wink. Just say "hi"and smile. That's all we need. If that doesn't keep him talking then he's got other things going on. He could be married, girlfriend, you really don't know, but he's just not ready. If I'm single and a lady I have my eye on speaks to me and smiles, then I'm about to lead the rest of the conversation.

      1991windsor sometimes it’s a dance between insecure attachment styles!
      Codependent attachment styles can often be the anxious attachment or fearful avoidant style... sometimes dismissive avoidant styles are narcissistic, sometimes not... but they are often drawn to each other and play out this push pull, crazy making realm 😬
      If the attachment styles heal, they can have better relationships...but with my experience, most dismissive avoidants aren’t interested in self work as much. Then it becomes the Codependent trying to do everything...and doesn’t really provide the best setup for breaking that toxic pattern!
      I’m healing by putting energy/time into myself...that I wasted for so long on other relationships.

    Well it's not all been about the adrenalin, there has been love too.
    But I always did think that when things were going along well & got boring, I'd do something to rock the boat a bit, nothing bad or deceitful tho.
    Or I'd just go for a narcissist who treated me like shit basically from the start.
    Maybe it all started from not having a father as a child & being sexually abused by a male family member.
    Not learning at a young age what is right or wrong treatment from males until late into my teens, if at all.
    Well, other ladies have had it worse I know that for sure.

I have spent a year listening to Little Shaman, Inner Integration and Surviving to Thriving and other YTUBE channels on Healing from Narcissistic Abuse. It really helps to understand that it's not and never was us. Counsellors and psychiatrists don't really understand what Narcissistic Abuse is or about CPTSD. We have to retrain and Rewire our brains by pulling ourselves up and replacing negative thoughts re the past with good ones. Eg tell ourselves it's just an old program of our ANS (Autonomic Nervous system ) and stay in the present. Art and crafts help me. It's tough but we deserve to be happy. Good luck on your healing journey and God bless you.

    Hi Brian,
    I agree with you..Some women do attract wrong man instead of good men. And I have experienced to have a bad relationships with a lousy guys for almost 3 to 4 years..He had lied to me from the initial relationship that he is single.
    At last, I analysis and truly understand the motive towards me..some bad guys just need finanical support towards them. He had given all his love to me with his motives. In fact, he had been married with 2 kids. After I have find out the truth, I was so disappointed and disheartened at the moment.
    At the end, I pull myself out of the relationship..I have stopped to communicate with him. I have pray to god to give me strength and courage to heal the wounds.
    Therefore, I walk through the dark side..I have continue to build my happiness to take care of myself..I have moved on my own happiness towards my positive lifestyle.

      Be friends first is what I've been told. See if the friendship can deepen and see if you have mutual interests first. Take time, and get to know them as a person before thinking of them as a future marriage partner (or similar). That is the advice I myself have heard. It's difficult to put into practice, of course, esp. if you are specifically looking for a romantic attachment right away.

    Now, I have a question, apparently I don't understand anything.
    I always believed that if man is interested - he will go for it. Its a man after all.
    If woman chases a guy (which I always include the first move) it automatically puts her in the
    "Nah, I don't have to move finger for her, oh great she is easy, better - no respect required, that the "fun girl but nothing serious" compartment.

    • @Protestan88
      @Protestan88 4 роки тому +6

      Ok. I'm a relatively shy guy who most of the times doesn't "go for it". It's not necessarily just fear holding me back. I've approached girls (I'm 24 now) who initially showed signs of interest (either physically or because of my sense of humor) and exchanged numbers with them. When I text, all of a sudden they stop showing interest. If I call them, either they respond very nonchalantly or not pick up and send me a text asking why I'm calling. Being quite introverted, it annoys me to go through hoops to get a date. I'm quite lazy and putting in effort for me has to be met with effort from the other side.
      I've been down paths where I put more effort than the girl and she ended up friendzoning me or playing games to get my attention and validation. I end up putting them down with my brutal honesty. It makes me feel a bit like an asshole and then I have to do mental gymnastics to realize I'm not a punching bag.
      Girls who have made the first move usually never take the risk to ask for a date. Only hinting, which based on experience puts them in a spot to deny responsibility if the date doesn't go as planned. I hate bringing up the fact that the girl showed me interest so I just move on. But it does leave a sour taste.
      All in all, whoever puts in effort (first) has to stand their ground and expect the other to do the same. I know it sounds too logical, but in our times women have all the same rights as men. Entitlement to traditional roles is only attractive if it's followed in all aspects, not just the ones that are convenient to the person.
