    "Because this is how they roll." They play the game of hot and cold, you distance, they chase, and when you come back, they will put you right back on the shelf. How true Susan, you hit the nail right on the head in describing these emotional manipulators. Best to just walk away and keep walking.

      While that's true, it's still a 'game.' And the game locks in both players. That's my ultimate concern. Even with distancing (to get the attention one seeks), the game continues in circles with no true endpoint of partnership.

      Men have to be players because women have too many sexual opportunities and lesser logic in comparison to a man. Lesser logic and more chance for sex leads to reckless sexual behavior. Lol in my 20s I knew multiple women who had over 30 sexual partners. A man need to play the game with a sharp mind and stop letting these promiscuous women have the upper hand.

      Jay MARVLIS I agree and disagree with you Jay. However that technique worked 10 years ago. These days it’s not as effective, guys and myself have tried it many times and we expect them to desire us more because we are playing hard to get but these days girls wanna be pursued 100%. If they see a guy half motivated then they will say “ ok he’s not interested on to the next one of my many options on Facebook and Instagram and Tinder and whatever technological advancement that has only ruined it for us guys due to the large variety of options females have today. Sadly enough. Most woman even want to be the boss these days because of liberal woman empowerment propaganda so us REAL MEN who have a backbone are actually the only guys they wanna sleep with but not marry because they wanna be the leader in the relationship. It’s so backwards today. So sad for us guys.

    @PhilMihaly 6 років тому +188

    This concept is incredibly evident when I'm in a relationship. Other girls suddenly start becoming flirty with me. To the point where one would always sit on my lap, and another would stare at me and bite her lip, and touch my hands. But despite all this, I stayed loyal to my girlfriend. But then as soon as my relationship ended, those other girls went completely cold and uninterested. Psychology is depressing once you realize that so much of attraction isn't from genuine appreciation, its simply people wanting what they cant have, and illusions of percieved value. Any man or woman can be manipulated through these psychological triggers. And somebody else can even manipulate your partner in the same way and steal them away from you. It takes the concept of real love and appreciation, and just flaps a giant "F You" on it.

    Just so everybody knows: this happens with both genders. Both man and women do this. People only value others (speaking of romantic relationships) when they are either hard to get, or when they feel they are loosing them (or when they've effectively lost them). Become a bit detached, and you won't get affected by this.

    It’s quite sad really. Once you first break up I don’t think it’s ever really the same again.
    It’s sad how someone you really did care for a loved is now just a game. I can only have her if I ignore her, which is the same as not having her... Or I can chase her and never have her.
    The only thing you gain by ignoring her is your dignity but in the end it’s the same result and it hurts just as bad.. if not more because you have to mask how you really feel for your self pride and never truly tell them how you felt.
    The only thing to do is suck up the pain and trust that time will heal things, it’s hard when you develop relationships with their family too, you don’t just lose them you lose a family and it’s so sad.
    I wish humans could just be honest with eachother and not let ego or pride get in the way. I guess we don’t really work like that though and with the way social media is making people feel less and less worthy, the need to put up guards to defend the ego will only get worse. God I hate relationships.

      These mind games only work on men who are not aware of them. Thanks to the internet the majority of men are very aware of these head games that women play. Men call it _"The Shit Test."_ The moment a man realizes he's being played he has a literal playbook on how to lead the woman on with her own game and as soon as he gets what he really wants that is when the dreaded _"ghosting"_ phenomena happens, that is when he disappears from her life without an explanation.

    I was with someone for 15 months, with our relationship ending a year ago. In may we saw each other but he was inconsistent and I knew I messaged first. I was done. In August he came back into my life. I showed less interest yet he messaged more and was more consistent. An obsession grew again so I asked for space. It felt too much like a game. Still feel at times like he was my true love.

    Susan you are incredible!! And Thank you so much for your videos!! You have seriously opened my eyes to the truth of what has been going on for so long with this guy friend I know online and I am so done with his games. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me now and I don’t feel sickly anymore. Because being in love with someone who knows you do and says “ I am still open to us being together one day but if we aren’t then that’s okay we can still be in each other’s lives” that is a guy who constantly sends me hearts and flirts with me,compliments me and then leaves me in the cold for weeks and then is back hot and then back to cold again. I feel like he wants so much attention and love from women (god knows how many he has online) and pulls them in far enough to make them hopeful of a chance with him but he never pulls you in any further. He is also very secretive about his life and never shows anything on his social media ,he hides his friends list on Facebook too. Which is a big red flag to me, because why hide something like that? I don’t care anymore because I’m free of this crazy cycle with him!! Yay 😁 Thanks again Susan!! 💖

    As a person who values real communication, (I think like other people) , I find your way of explaining the hot and cold concept to be advanced yet clear. I only say this because when I would prevent myself from pursuing certain love interests, I was doing so to preemptively avoid toying with human emotion. The way you explain it made this part of the hot and cold aspect clear to me, because I would not want to portray myself in a selfish way. Thanks for your insight! Very wise

    This was exactly what I needed to hear today. I’ve been involved in a very tumultuous situationship with someone I’ve concluded is a narcissist. There is no other explanation. Only focuses on himself, won’t give me a solid commitment, hot and cold but comes to me when he needs his ego inflated. After 3 years of this BS the blindfold has come off. I don’t even know why I stuck around so long...he was even self-serving in the bedroom...I probably stuck around only because I’m an empath...
    Susan do you recommend blocking this person on social media? I’m presuming yes, but why would this be a good idea? Empaths find this type of thing hard

The number of eligible bachelors over in my city is very slim. I think that is a contributing factor to lacking confidence and going back in for round two only to be tossed back out to sea 😳.

    Hi Susan! I respect you very much, but don't think it's that black or white. In some cases maybe. But I believe some people are able to wake up and change when their partner walks out. Some are too egotistical too change. But a nice guy like me am spending almost all my free time now on learning how to be a better partner because my lover withdrew her interest. I want to make my girlfriend feel special, loved and protected.

    It has been two months since my husband changed everything for me when I told him I wanted a divorce. His temper was frightening and he had a lot of control and listening issues. Since that day he has done a complete 180 but because of two years of pain caused by his behaviour I have told him that I am still not sure about this marriage. He said I should do what makes me happy and stop putting other people first for once and that no matter what happens he’ll be there for me. I know that he is trying with all his heart, but deep inside I am wondering if he will stop trying when he sees that our marriage is no longer at risk.

Take some time to think about what all these guys had in common that ghosted you. When you isolate those factors, you will know exactly what to watch out for. Best wishes

    @chaneb8272 7 років тому +3

    I never had this on/ off relationship with anyone before this guy
    I realise the main issue and cause of the on/off was in first place I did not have boundaries of what is it I wanted as a relationship with this person
    I kept breaking up and coming back without
    1. trusting my self of why I did not want to stay
    2. Coming back without making clear or asking what he wanted now or what I wanted, for example
    I want a relationship what is it you want? ....I want to just fuck around or I want casual, I want nothing, I dont know what I want
    3. You dont know what you want go figure it out and when you know maybe we can talk
    But you did this and you did that so I cant blah blah, .... sorry but we need to start somewhere , blaming each other wont move us from this toxic place we are right now
    The mature thing to do and for start if for both of us to be on the same page, right now we are not
    You behaving like a single selfish bachelor guy and I am investing in a relationship where my needs are not met and I am alone in it, all effort I make toward building a relationship is rejected by you, so we need to decide first if we want the same thing
    if we dont than it doesnt matter what you or I did , we simply not on the same page
    So yes, something like that
    I let myself down, I did not set boundaries, I usually date guys that know what they want and I did have to worry of this
    I never thought hey a guy date you but he want nothing more
    Anyway my guy was misbehaving , show no respect toward his partner and I did not stand up for myself firmly
    So when you make the video, to end the on and off relationship cycle, it is not about you are not good for each other is good relationship need good boundaries
    People need to want the same thing
    If he want casual and I want relationship, we are not on the same page, we could go on on and off for 100 years
    It will always go on and off and " I am not happy to get or be in what I deeply need to feel loved and feel safe and that is for me to be in relationship
    And his not happy as well as he doesnt want to commit he doesnt want nothing serious
    So as heart broken that it is,
    Making sure you are on the same page is the cure guarantee to not start a vicious cycle of on and off
    Guys, will accept whatever you give them especially if there is no guidance from us ladies
    The guy meet you and misbehave and dont respect you, you leave him and come back he just going to laugh at your face and go more wild with you
    Sadly thats what I got
    Thanks

    I must be of a different mind set. I was always taught that the entire mindset of "That person who isn't paying attention to me. So I will go up and talk to them" mentality was rude. If someone doesn't acknowledge you, you don't approach them, to talk to them. You leave them alone. People who initiate contact are the ones you talk to.

    Well I stopped pursuing, didn't make myself available and nothing, she didn't come get me, might as well been invisible. :)

    God, this is good advice. The first time I see Susan. Walking away is
    hard, but sooner (or later) we'll get over the woman, the game player.
    She won't change -- she can't. What is missing in the advice of many
    other coaches is the observation that she hasn't changed, and when she
    pulls you back in, with the implied promise of a relationship, it is
    only to play games with you again. My dance partner pulls me back in
    every time, simply because she wants a good dancer around when she is
    going to a dance where she feels she won't get many dances. It's time to
    walk away, and mean it.

    I have already been through this cycle with somebody for the last three months. When you decide to pull away for good and not put up with their hot and cold games, how hard will they pursue, usually?

      Quite aggressively. Suddenly, they remember how to treat you well. Eventually, they give up if you don't go along with the game.

      It only took me one weekend of "no action" after 4 days of hot pursuit to smell a problem. I've been watching the behavior now for a month and a half (two weeks was enough), and it hasn't changed. Unbelievable that someone thinks this is alright to do this not only to another human being, but to THEMSELVES. Said he wanted to do SO MANY THINGS (specific) WITH ME (when could we get together, etc), wanted to be "my man," DEFINITELY was into me, etc. Did I EVER even get on one date?? NO, excuse after excuse because I made it clear I wasn't going to do anything before marriage when he brought up hot tubing and traveling, staying at the hotels in his corporate position, etc. He didn't respect standards, and I've slowly now been ghosted. I've never been through something like this before. It was extremely cruel and hurtful since I'm now older than 20, and because he said and looked the part. When you're older and you STILL haven't found anything good since you were younger, it gets to be a little harder. But the fast-moving pace, of course, was so ridiculous and hard to trust. He kept telling me to give him a chance, that he was a really good guy. So I gave him those chances. After seeing he was all talk and no action, I finally contacted our mutual FB friend about him. Found out she went through the same thing with him at about the same time he started contacting me, both of us "older women." Only she wasn't interested in him. I was, so I was baited. I've watched a few vid's now and see that this is more common than I realized. Frustrating and inconsiderate at best!
