6 ways to tell she's toxic:
1. Blameshifting, inability to take accountability for her toxic actions and behavior.
2. They play power games. Communicates insecurity and immaturity.
3. Achievement becomes competition. Doesn't encourage you, support you, genuinely celebrate your wins with you.
4. Excessive envy and jealousy. Constantly mistrusting you (projecting her own untrustworthiness), violating your boundaries.
5. She's controlling. She's controlling of people, situations, the information you're allowed access to, and even people's perceptions of you after you break up (smear campaign, character assassination).
6. Uses you for money, is non-reciprocal with money as well as effort, validation, honesty, etc.
A personal note: I experienced all of the above and more from my toxic ex, who is a professional therapist. Don't blindly believe appearances, or credentials. People in any profession can be toxic. Believe their behavior. Covert narcissists and psychopaths can be especially adept at manipulating perceptions by controlling information and constructing appearances. They get their needs met through deceit and trickery rather than authenticity and actually earning it.
Imagine getting treated like this and then further being sh*t on afterwards by her calling you creepy and cringy and her leaving the relationship feeling superior to you. The only solution to these toxic people (women and men alike) is to distance yourself from them and find someone worthy of your love and kindness and who actually adds to your inner peace.
Yep my ex did all this except number 6 we both had good jobs out of college but everything else holy shit yep that was all her.
Wow, thank you for sharing this!
Here too, but you don't know until you're in.
Women who are therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists are some of the most screwed up. I think that's why they are attracted to the fields of mental health. Best to avoid them outright.
@@moleahy6880 While it's hard to make blanket statements about entire groups of people, it is completely factual and fair to say that there is an over-representation of toxic/damaged people in the professions you listed due to selection bias.
I don't see myself getting a girlfriend any time soon, but it's always nice to listen to positive and healthy-minded women like you, and even get good advice.
Hopefully when the time comes this is helpful! Thanks for watching, I always appreciate your comments 😊❤️
Self improvement and awareness advice found here, and it's valuable until the day you die. You got this Storm Eagle 💪 💪

The funny thing is that when you start thinking they aren't coming around anytime soon, then they start coming around 😅
@@CourtneyRyan I was just with a female who always played the victim. She use to always day ppl done this did that point the finger, intentionally cause arguments then play ms little innocent etc I had to cut her off. All of ur videos remind me off this girl I use to be with.thank you for putting these videos out to get us guys aware of traits of these type of women. She was even jealous of the jobs i got closed I wear, she caused break uos in my friendship with my homies
“What you allow is what will continue.”
That said it all for any relationship.

I’ve just ended a relationship with my girlfriend due to all of the things that you mentioned. It has completely damaged my mental health and to the point that I’ve made the decision to steer clear of getting involved with another woman for a long while.
Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m trying to find the strength to do the same right now. Glad it worked out for you man.
Wish I could do this too
Women will only tear you down and leave you weak. I steer clear.
I'm with you. At the minute, I can't imagine getting together with anyone else. My ex was a monster. She was so abusive to me. If it was the other way round and I did and behaved as she did towards me, I'd be put in jail.
Ha! My ex scored a perfect 6/6. It’s amazing how much toxicity you subconsciously overlook in another person because you’re blinded by love. Thank you Courtney, have a great day!
Glad you’re out of it! I was in the same situation a few years ago and never looked back
@@aaron-damonkassner4715 Thanks man! Same to you. All we can do is learn from it and move on.
Love is blind
I had a marriage that was 6/6 too. Love makes us men stupid.
@@External2737 mine was 5/6 the whole money thing I wasn’t really an issue that I was aware of at least
Here are some extra ones
7) she insults you and attacks you when she is upset with you. Not able to control her emotions and justifies her mistakes.
8) she tries to separate you from family and friends.
9) she is manipulative of you and situations.
10) she neglects you and doesn’t show you love.
At some point it crosses the line from to toxic over to abuse.
If you find yourself in love with an abusive women, cut it off and move on. Find healing and find someone who will value you.
Who hurt lil mango?
11) she thinks that a group called "women" has any right to define what a "good man" is, or what's best for men. Its only for us to decide.
who hurt you?@@jordangarberg7744
Number 7 was especially problematic with my ex. Such disrespectfull an verbally abuse behavior, and I wouldn't have it. Most important thing in a relationship is trust and respect. She deserved neither and I'm glad I got rid of her.
I’m not attractive enough to get a woman who’s emotionally stable so I’m stuck with psychos
Cheating in a relationship is an unforgivable betrayal of trust that can not be remedied, at least for me.
There is no excuse for it and, again for me, marks your character as a person as flawed beyond redemption, in the regards to a relationship; thanks to alomd genius for saving me from that bloody cheater..
can i see their infos pls, i'll love to see my partner's phone too

@G m a l l.
comm
thank you for the detals
Hits the nail on the head. I actually went through counciling because I thought I was the problem. Come to find out from my councillor I wasn't the problem, she was. This video is 100% accurate and things to run from.
That’s their goal all along because they won’t take accountability for themselves so they make you the scapegoat.
People tend to flip things around on the other person. Both genders do it. The fact you were willing to consider yourself part of the problem speaks volumes about your character and willingness to be open. You will be alright, you just need to find someone on your level.
I went through the same thing.
The best thing a man can do is be ready to let any girl go when it’s necessary. I’ve seen way too many of my boys stick around and put up with lot of emotional manipulation and abuse. Just because a girl is very attractive on the outside they think they can’t do better. No girl is worth your peace of mind. Being willing to walk away ironically makes it less likely you’ll have to since you’ll actually be able to set healthy boundaries.
Honestly, I think a return to patriarchy is necessary at this point. Nothing short of an organized movement to course correct.
amen. bro!
You be shocked at the number of straight guys who are so fed up with TOXIC FEMINISTS that they get sex from gay guys now .
A beautiful vagina can put the best of us in a trance
@Bryant Vargas, I am a woman, and I approve this message 👍
Most guys know these toxic signs but they ignore them.
And girls are on the looks for guys who either don't know or are willing to enable their toxic behaviors
Because they are dependent and afraid to loss that toxic girl friend. Men now a days are now getting weaker.
Yes in hopes they change or they buy your forgiveness aka buying material items
@@moonrivercampersaying "men nowadays" is a sexist sterotype
"some men"
Love is blind he said,
Just went through a breakup about a month and a half ago, and she exemplified a few of these points. Past traumas, unnecessary jealousy, and controlling.
i feel you
I feel you 😢
She played victim card against me.
Saaame! Haha!
@@mufaspismail9885 story of our life
I was in a toxic relationship for 10 months and this girl is exactly right on point listen to her!!!
I had a ex-girlfriend who was competitive, jealous, and controlling. She was horrible. I'm glad I broke up with her and moved on. She was attractive and that''s all she had going for her.
Glad you moved on! Sounds awful lol
Women like that become less attractive over time. Looks fade, but an ugly personality is timeless. 😝
I feel you here, similar experience. Hope your ok now 💪
It is true...a bit of skirt, a pretty girl and you tend to ignore all the red flags.
That's your mistake. You dated a woman because of looks!!!
My GF broke up with me about 7 weeks ago and she displayed all of these traits, was with her 3 years, I went to great lengths to help her thro those years with every aspect of life for her to blame me for the relationship ending. Never again will I deal with that crap
Almost exact same situation. Great learning experience
Very similar here. Close that chapter and LOCK IT SHUT !! LOL.
This. I stayed single after that. Each time a girl wants to be in the relationship with me, that's when all the red flags reveal themselves. Ain't looking, just chasing my goals. Life has never been better
Sounds like a narc discard
Same here man but 6 years for me and I was lied too and only used to help win her kids back and then eventually discarded when her use of me was up. Went from I was her life to smear campaigning me left and right and playing victim none stop. She discarded after even helping her once again even long after the relationship ended of her reaching out for my help as always. I’ll just soon have to move to get totally away from her and her drama she always causes.
I was so blinded by all you've said by this woman that it destroyed our marriage 😢. I did see the red flags and ignored them all and now reaping from what I sowed.
Have been in love with a lady who was so toxic for me and has hurt me numerous times over the last 4 years. Tomorrow is the last day I am ever going to speak to her. Wish me luck
I hope you got rid of her..
It happens all the time. Toxic is the new norm & worn as a badge of honor, especially in social media. Yesterday, I saw a woman sporting a top saying " "Proud Bitch" & her toddler daughter wearing a top "Future Bitch." with people huddled around her stroller commenting how cute that was. I guess she got her validation?
Yikes!!!
Sounds like a lot of women in the uk sadly.
a very well choosen mate/father/husband , and a very bright fullfilled future for the little girl....
Lol. Yup, as an older guy I would agree. Current society---it's 'cool' and 'awesome' to be completely bloated and puffed up on yourself as the most important thing around. Pathetic and has horrible results.
I would honestly be embarrassed FOR that woman if I saw her t-shirt (smh)
I never dated a toxic woman but my brother has. When they broke up, she sent 20 really nasty text messages to my brother. I lost all respect for her. I'm glad my brother is out of that relationship.
Hey Courtney, Great video Thanks 😊 One of the key Take Aways... "what you allow is what will continue"... So TRUE...
First time listening to you and this was so worthwhile. I filed for divorce 8 months ago and 5/6 of your points I was subjected too. What finally ended it for me was the lack of loyalty she showed. She never had my back. Used condescending language toward me in front of friends. Of course the last 8 months have been perfect. But I know it is just manipulation trying to reel me back in to her web of dysfunction
Hands down the biggest red flag is when they associate being dramatic and confrontational as a form of affection. If she WANTS you to get into bar fights with random dudes over her instead of talking things out like a gentleman, GTFO IMMEDIATELY
I used to be one of those guys they would hit on in front of their men
Unfortunately, half the women out there today, do exactly that
Then just ask her to first have a knife fight with some random girl in the bar. ;-) If she's alive after that, you tell her that you are not into murderers, while you already have dialed 911... ;-D
And if she says no to that, you do what most of women do: You blame her of not really loving you and tell things like "How you did I ever fall in love with you? It's over. I go." and then just leave her. :-D
Half I’m thinking more like 75/80%
Biggest issue with women is trust. If she flirts with others constantly. She's probably not worth it.
Personally, I am no longer interested in a relationship right now. I am only 22 years old. I think its best for us guys to simply just focus on career and hit the gym constantly (this goes out to guys who are seeking relationships in their early 20s). This will bring a much better ROI in the long term as opposed to staying in toxic relationships and wasting time in unhealthy relationships where everything is one-sided. Now I am not against having a relationship but it is very difficult to date/ find the right person these days. God will eventually send the right person at some point.
Im 22 as well…i’ve been seeking like hell from 16 to 20…the last heartbreak really turned down my will to go get some girl…sometimes i hate being single and some I feel really fortunate of not feeling obligated to give my time to someone or deal with her BS…Checking how i dress, eating healthy 5 day a week, grinding for my grades, fixing minor aesthetic issues and better my social skills is more fulfilling than figuring out some girl’s mind that’s not really into you…some girl will look at you anyways, they pop in your life unexpectedly
Very well said and I totally second this
22-23 or so is when things started to turn around for me dating wise. I’d left college and had landed my first job. Suddenly I was very attractive to girls still at college 18-21 yo or so. Hypergamy is a thing, girls want to date UP. That’s why guys have to wait and build their value. When you are just dating at school or college unless you have great looks, status or game you’re just another guy to the girls around you. You have to transcend that environment to get noticed, so yes, work on yourself but keep a weather eye out for girls who are interested. As you grow there will be more and more, as long as you have a good social circle. This starts with a solid male friend group. Cultivate that.
I don't think people should be in relationships until they're about 25 and have matured, developed and figure out who they are as a person.
Very well said and I agree, wait for God to send you the right person
This is so true. There are so many women like this, they simply never became women, they stopped developing at an early age emotionally. Thank you so much for validating what I already knew. God bless you.
I had a woman flirt with me openly for 7 months, even saying things that made other people side-eye how forward it was. I ended up asking her on a date and she assumed all I wanted was sex, that she was flirting with me, but that she very recently decided she wasn't available for dating right now. So I felt confused and kind of hurt that I was led on and that reciprocating HER interest was treated like I did something wrong. So I dropped it.
I ran into her at an event and she was quite forward again, touching me, hugging me, staring deeply into my eyes inches away from my face. She started texting me a lot, sending me racy photos, and even wanted to drop her sweatshirt on my porch because she got too warm on her run. We ended up making out a couple times over the next two weeks, and it felt like it was going somewhere until she called me and started talking negatively about one of my friends and I told her it hurt to hear her talk that away. She told me I shouldn't take it personally and that I will learn that in therapy and that she had to get off the phone. I told her how upset that make me and that it felt like she was gaslighting me and broke it off.
Then I run into her again a few more weeks later and she's right back to hugging me and staring into my eyes and I feel like such a sucker. She is very attractive to me, creative, etc, but there is something very wrong with how she treats men or at least me. When we spend time physically together everything feels good and even special, but I feel like she mostly wants to text. If we hang-out in a group she expresses interest in spending time with me separate from the group, and when I make an offer to spend time with her she says yes, but never follows up about the times I've presented to her, or told me when best works for her.
It feels like I'm some kind of tourist attraction. Like all my creativity and silence and how well my friends like me and do cool things for our community is interesting, but that once they get to know that I'm a real person with feelings and needs of my own that everything becomes foggy.
I feel good about my friends, career, hobbies, finances, health, etc, but man I hate dating, lol. I want to stop taking each interested person so seriously and just date a ton of people until I find one with some mutual respect, appreciation, attraction, and communication style I guess. Not someone entitled to toying with sexuality and emotions. I feel like she has goodness in there somewhere, but I'm feeling like most of what I know about her is a mask to protect her own traumas and ego.
That song like her bro 😅
Run
She's a Narc!
One of my exes ticked all these boxes. She had been abused by her dad, and her mom told her she was Queen/Princess/Perfect so that led to narcissism. She became cruel and Machiavellian, like a super-villain in her manipulations. Fortunately my work paid for 5 weeks of counselling to resolve the issues post breakup.
They use past history as an excuse to behave in that type sander victimized 😅 and a half conditions mentally unstable to use as an excuse for behavior
My ex had the same upbringing. Unfortunately after three years, I am starting counseling. We have a kid together and she dumped me at the beginning of this month for a 50 year old shiny new toy.
@@johnsparks9641 I am sorry to hear that.
@@mattblom3990 Thank you. It's hard but I know it will get better.
Toxic people never change in my experience
Nope… they just change victims and it’s many many victims that she will always blame and never herself.
@@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT borderline personality disorder is what that is called aka Amber turd disorder
You are absolutely right about that
1. If all she does is complain.
2. She can’t find the silver lining in tough situations nor problem solve to figure out how to get out of a pickle.
3. She doesn’t see your SOUL; she only sees your profession and financial security.
4. She doesn’t listen or support your dreams/goals.
5. She belittles you in front of others. She should be discussing issues privately and to you directly.
6. She is passive aggressive with issues; she makes you guess or assumes you should know what is wrong.
7. She doesn’t encourage or support “me time” that includes hanging with the guys, gaming, hobbies.
8. She doesn’t have a life of her own that fulfills her own soul and is relying on you solely.
9. Can’t compromise or ever see your point of view.
10. Wants to bail at the smallest inconvenient vs a team mindset.
"She never takes accountability." So basically every woman ever.
Yes
I have to be honest that people always say this person is toxic or this.... and if we think like that pretty much everyone would be single hahaha we are always toxic 😩
I wish had this video back in the day. I think a part of the reason I don’t really date is because I don’t really trust myself to end the relationship or properly stand up for myself once I’m attached. I don’t think Amber became toxic until after they were married.
My woman is the complete opposite of this. I'm so glad I'm in my early twenties and found Mrs. Right so early in life. Cheers to many more, my love. Thank you, Courtney.
Dont worry. Even opposite women from this can be dangerous. Women need a warning label like bleach does.
@@DiamondScuff same goes for most men.
@@womenwhowantmenbackakawwwm8232 Yeah. But itleast the "most men" are very obvious. Women disguise it way better.
Be careful I thought the same thing and after that 4th of the 6th year my ex the sociopath narcissist true colors started to show little by little. The mind game manipulating sneaky evil beast came out and she tried her best to destroy me. They are so nice and charming at the beginning. Then they do a whole 360 change on you and then you’re enemy #1 and they smear campaign you like crazy and try to turn everyone against you.
@@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT yea which is why I tell my guys push back sex as long as you can to like the 6 or 9 month mark, scout the shit out of your potential gf, and truly try to get a read, even when you do have a read, you can never be sure, is this just all and act
Thank you Courtney. Totally agree with this list. Many of these signs are also possible indications of a cluster B diagnosis, which points to your trauma point. Heard is diagnosed histrionic. And many of the men here may have dated someone who is Borderline or Narcissist. I can tell you, based on my own experience, just run when signs are pointing to someone like this. This isn’t to be cruel. It just isn’t our job to fix them.
I'm glad I went no contact with my ex! I valued myself too much to stick around and put up with her manipulative BS!! I started learning about cluster B personality disorders a month before walking away from her. And started to see more & more red flags hoping that she wasn't a narc or a borderline, but she was a borderline with a lot of narcissistic traits. When I accepted that she would never change no matter what I did. So I just ghosted her. It was one of the best things I've done for myself!
Wow, I was dating a cluster B person!
I recently got my self esteem absolutely destroyed. She projected her insecurities on me and blamed me for things I never did or have done in my life, while trying to hold me accountable. The worst thing is I kept apologizing in the hopes she wouldn't leave, because I thought I'd never find such a perfect match again. I guess this was the "lovebombing" or "mimicking" phase. In the end she just wanted to feel validated, most likely due to a previous toxic relationship.
It took me many months to stop internalizing blame, and I still can't let a woman in my life, even when a few times beautiful women were hitting on me. My brain has gotten over internalizing blame, but the trauma is still there.
I hope you continue what you are doing, it helps a lot.
let that chick go......one day, you probably identify her in a news story in the "police/fire section" as an assault victim or worse....
I would also like to give advice from my experience. If there is a "voice" in your head telling you that your relationship isn't gonna work you should probably listen to it. It really doesn't help being around someone you don't feel comfortable with no matter how nice they are or how good they look.
Solid advice
That's a Perfect Advice! I suffered greatly in past ignoring my instincts!
Great video! I know so many people that are toxic and exhausting never have nothing good to say. I hope you do more on this subject I’m glad I found this video. 😊❤️
A toxic woman can be even dangerous do to pass history are claiming she was victimized it normally has to do with a mental disorder I they normally get law enforcement involved which try to make the man the perpetrator and make her the victim these girls know what they're if they don't get what they want.
I dated a female narcissist for more than three years, and she easily scores 6/6 on this list. This list only scratches the surface of how psychologically damaging different toxic behaviours can be in an unhealthy relationship. I would spare this experience for many, so I suggest we keep learning and take seriously those signs. Don't compromise. You are worth more than that.
I've been single for 5yrs now after a tough break up & was finally open to dating again but I found myself encountering a toxic girl. I didn't see it at first because after her affection I was hooked & was blinded. I found myself trying to help her & eventually becoming a simp. The lesson I learned was be cautious of who I bring into my life & leave ASAP if I notice any toxic behavior. Thank you Courtney for this video.
Excellent advice, Courtney. My ex displayed 4 of these toxic behaviors on a regular basis (that is why she is my ex).
Mine showed 5🥴🥴 took* 5 years but once it clicked I cut it off👌🏾
My ex was 6/6, granted I'm Autistic so it's harder for me to pick the signs.
Hi Courtney, it took me 20+ years but I am finally rejecting the toxic behaviour. Most women have impossible standards to meet, when they are average at best. There are good women out there, I have met a few usually through having the same interests or background. The future of society / reproduction is at stake. Pandering to women does not help anyone. Thanks again Courtney for all your work, Neil.
if she's playing games, that's reason enough to leave her.. even if you love her as hard as it may sound, you gotta distance yourself from her, cuz that shit will end up eating you alive. stay strong and always remember there's someone put on this earth for you, you just gotta look and see 🙏🏾
Never let the ups and downs along the way, stop you from doing what you know is meant for you to do.
I hear ya - stayhappylittle mermaid! Great tips - by Courtney!
This is why you have to be very careful who you get involved with - because they could possibly ruin your life, and the career that you’ve worked so hard for.
That’s why you also have to pay really close attention early on in the relationship, to see if you can spot any red flags before it’s too late. I’m sure John Depp wish he had - now!
Anyway, that’s my two cents.

True saying dear
This is the first video I have watched from you Courtney. I can relate to this from work. It's a co worker who hates me for no reason, not friendly toward me and flees as soon as I walk in. Because I am friends with her friend, she thinks I am going to steal them away from her. Ryan.
1. Love-bomb stage
2. Anchored (ex. kids)
3. Toxic behaviors start
4. Gaslighting to keep you or get you back.
5. Either leave or this Narcissist Cycle continues.
I’ve been dealing with the worst for 8 years. I’ve filed divorce 2 times and ended both to “reconcile” and once she gaslit me to come back it started all over again. Take my word men. Just leave and don’t look back!
If she plays games with you (not the fun kind), she’s toxic!
it's fun to her lmao
@@kc270352 😂😂😂
Damn right
Ugh this hit close to home. Whenever I achieved something good for myself, my ex felt the need to knock me down.
I've been in 2 toxic relationships and they were very childishl would play the victim card, to make me feel bad. Very manipulative. I've now learned my lesson I've been single over 6 years now because I don't have time for games and I know there's great women out there which I'm sure someday I will find that someone. Great video!
Being a drama queen is enough reason to end the relationship.
Thank you Courtney. I definitely agree that toxicity comes from unhealed trauma. my best friend's last relationship had most of these issues and they definitely were due to massive insecurity issues.
I really appreciate the pointers and tips you give, it’s helped me regain my self worth and not get used. I don’t struggle getting dates, I struggled with picking the right one. You are the best Courtney!
That's the key statement right there ! "What you allow is what will continue" !
Thanks for this. It helps a lot to realise it couldn't work and moving on was the best decision, and fight back the pain. 🙏🏻
If I look back on dating and relationship experiences, a lot of the time toxic behaviors I encountered were really just immaturity on behalf of the girl, or lack of strength of character to actually say they weren’t attracted or invested in taking a relationship further. Women are non-confrontational and rarely direct. If you take the lead, but they can’t follow, then they are not going to be a good dance partner, simple as.
With experience I learned to read the signs and test their attraction early on by playing it cool and not being try-hard. If a girl likes you and has character, she’ll let you know. If you have to put in work, that speaks volumes.
Simple rules.
If she’s below 22yo, don’t expect anything much from her, most girls are incapable of flying straight at this age. Any girl that can is highly unusual and worth pursuing. Ages 22-27 are when most smart girls start to fly right. Again, if a girl is prepared to behave during this time she’s worth taking seriously. Any girl who gets to 27 and is still a handful will always be a handful. And don’t be fooled by girls 27-32 who are suddenly seemingly flying right but were party girls before. They’ve hit epiphany phase and are looking for a sucker to settle down with most likely. These are the most dangerous women of all. As said, a woman less than 27 years old who is ready to exit the carousel for you is what you should be looking for, and if she’s 20-23 with green flags like good family, hard working and naturally submissive then take her very seriously.
I’ve never heard this put so perfectly
What about 40+?
I've followed you for almost a year now and yeah, the second anyone plays games and gaslights, I'm out! I've been through too much mental turmoil and to me, she's proving shes the low hanging fruit
You’re awesome, Tommy! I appreciate all your support in the comments. Totally agree with you! 🙌🏼 no time for games
@@CourtneyRyan back at ya! 😁✌
Hey Tommy, I have noticed you from both Courtney's channel and Amanda Silvera's channel. Keep up the good work brother 💪👊😎👍
@@varun.shenoy10 thank you very much my guy!😁✌
Excellent video, Courtney. Definitely experienced and you are 150% right.
Two independent councilors told me after 1st appointment, as broken as she is, she can't be fixed. She tricked all through the breakup process and did everything to destroy me in every way, including getting full custody to then teach my(our) kids narcissistic behaviors. Really sad. All I want was to raise my kids in a healthy manor. Had no idea how someone can "love" me and then wind up trying to kill me. True stuff. My kids think I'm the broken one.
Very level-headed and sincerely done video. As a man who has had relationships in the past, these are really the red flags I encountered that led to their end.
I had a girlfriend during the Dark Time (what I call the time before I met my wife) who couldn't get along with my friends and family. She even struggled with her own friends. She was what I call a spotlight personality. She needed to be the center of attention in any setting. This worked out fine when it was just the two of us. Under those conditions, she behaved well and communicated well. But whenever I tried to mix her with anyone else, she struggled to get the spotlight on her. I just couldn't mix her in with any of my family or friends without a tussle over who was going to be the center of attention during the social occasion. This proved unworkable.
Nice work! Thank you!
#1 unfortunately reminds me of my dad. Every problem happens and it is always my mom's fault. I never noticed my father recognizing his responsibility. I did talked to my dad about this issue but he seems to ignore my report.
What you allow is what will continue! This is so on point and what opened my eyes.
And another great one!!! You’re like a supportive friend to all of us!!! Love these tips and videos, Courtney!!!! Keep it up with the great content!!!! ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼💯
Thanks for your videos, I recently got outta this 1 sided relationship where I was getting used for attention! I binged get watched a bunch of your videos and it opened my eyes!
You not wrong bud if the girl is dating a guy 6 foot tall she's using him for attention, she will say in her head to other females look what I got! this guy has a big noodle, wasn't ever about love? just recognition, & attention! For me when I see a really small girl and a tall guy! looks so strange, they're girls? they think differently with what they want.
Well put together Courtney! I found your post be very informative.
My ex had major toxic behaviour concerning nummer 1,3 and 5 plus being verbally abusive and kept physical intimacy locked away unless I was able to fully accommodate her. I fired her ass 2 months ago and have never been happier. I'd rather be single the rest of my life than deal with such high maintenance nudging behavior!
I appreciate your intentions with your content. It caught my attention and I myself am in recovery and recomposition of body and mind after a long term breakup. Your content helped me realize I wasn’t ready to date yet and to get back into therapy. Thank you for making me feel ok to be honest with myself as a man, accept that I had to move on without her.
Thank you for making this video. I saw so many traits that my ex-wife frequently demonstrated during our relationship, especially the controlling aspects and the money traits. It may have cost me a small fortune to get the divorce but I am so glad to be out of that relationship now
i have a couple of these and didn’t realize it because i didn’t focus on taking care of myself and working on insecurities. i am taking charge of myself and growing to stop these toxic behaviors.
Yes you helped me! Thank you ! I don't feel guilty or caring anymore for both of them girls ! Thank you so much for helping me get rid of them 2
I just got out of a relationship with a girl who disappointed me several times and kept coming back to me after I drew a boundary or pushed her out of my life. Even after she ghosted me I finally learned that you shouldn’t allow what you don’t want. It’s weird how some people will dump you but keep coming back to you. I learned to understand I deserve better. She didn’t feel andything doing me wrong so many times but came back with praise and flattery every time she came back. Man people are weird and you don’t need to try and figure them out. Live your best life and be content already and you will eventually get what you desire.
thats my story with my ex....
This true
My ex has every single quality that you've listed. She was so insecure it was exhausting...if she wasn't arguing then she was complaining.ALL THE TIME.
Wow Cortney I know someone right now who definitely is toxic and showed narsaistic behavior right now I was going to start dating her but after I got to know her better I quickly changed my mind ASAP!!!!!
Solid video Courtney. I agree with all the signs. I think you should also make a separate video on the kinds of games women play. I think guys should get a number of signs of the games women play to help them avoid these kinds of women. This is especially crucial in the early stages where some of them would only say or do things just to string you along cuz maybe she wants free meals or attention but either way they're not very serious about you. But I realize direct communication has flown out the window in today's society and we need to bring that back. But I also acknowledge that if someone is going to play some game with us, then our confusion will never matter to them. So it's up to us to find that information and use it to help protect ourselves.
there's a woman I talk to, we've had a couple night outs but I ended things cause she was talking to other guys, a couple months later she recently reached out and said she misses me and still likes me but still sleeps with other guys 🤔 not gonna chase, gonna let her do her thing 😂
Yes, all of them. Was married to a covert Narcissist. Mentally messed with my head.
On the topic of games my biggest pet peeve about dating apps is that women's bios always say "no time for games," but they are 100% the ones that play the games, so apparently they do have time for it.
Saying, “they are the ones who play the games” meaning men do not is such a generalized statement- it’s toxic.
00:27 She is always the victim 🗯
01:25 - 02:37 Playing games 🏹❗
04:18 Achievement becomes competition 💪👊
05:37 Excessive envy or jealousy 😠
06:39 She is controlling 🤚🤫⚠️
07:30 - 08:31 She is using you for your money💶
Boom 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
Thanks. I hate the new video format.
You're welcome. 🤝
1 - An accountable woman? LOL.....I have this bridge to sell you
2 - What else would she do with your boring behind...
3 - I am a boss chick....
4 - Eh I guess so on this one.....
5 - Of course...she sees you as a weak simp beta
6 - What else are the bottom 80% of men good for other than cash. Certainly dont like us....
@Anonymous Apple if ur girlfriend scores a good job and gets a bonus or gets a promotion you would be happy for them . in a woman who is toxic's case , she doesnt like that u keep achieving more especially if she herself is lazy to work and because it reflects bad on her ( you keep working hard for better opportunities while she is wasting her life being picky or lazy) and she may be jealous and be jealous in the future and keep putting you down for every other small mistake u make in the future for her to say " he is good in his work but in other things in life , he sucks and i am better , i have my W" that is what is wrong with jealousy
Lot of broken human beings walking around. Even more toxic ones.
My wife smashed two 48 inch florescent light bulbs over my head then blamed me for the mess on my shop floor.
Yup, the money thing resonates fully. I recently dated a girl who claimed she was a healthy feminist but still only wanted to spend my money. When I started saying "you're buying" to her "I'm hungry" or "let's go shopping" she would frown and say she doesn't have money to spend. I really let this thing drag on for more than I should have.
My femnazi ex did the same thing. Will not date a feminist again
Thank you for your time and effort in the content you share with us. This world needs more folks like you. 🍻
This woman Courtney is a gem, I’d love to date someone like her. Very educated and wise.
Also you are very right about toxicity comes from trauma and immaturity. Trauma is where most of our actions stem from, that’s why so many people are dysfunctional. I teach my friends and family this as often as possible. You have to make an effort to be healthy in every area of your life. It takes sacrifice and it’s uncomfortable but it’s a necessity to grow. Hilarious when you said scum of the earth, I say that often 😅
You nailed it. I've seen several of these behaviors in girls that I've had relationships with. All of those relationships eventually came to an end.
Thank you I have been used for years at 62 hade a stroke and took a bad fall she was there for her not me I moved in her house sold mine and Also changed my will leaving all to her and her adult offspring. After the sell of my house she went into control it got so bad my health booth mental and physical was bad. Now I live in a rental cottage but life is good now I have my family back in my life 😊
I've experienced some of the 6 points in your video mainly playing games and money. I've noticed everytime when would go out I would always pay. Yes, it is fault because I'm rewarding a bad behavior and going back to games one minute she's touchy next minute she's not and only responds to my message if I initiate them by saying let's the hangout., which in her eyes means I'm paying for everything without any acts of reciprocating.
I had to learn to leave it alone and don't bother. Most people fail to see the patterns in their actions. Even myself I had to take a step back ask myself why am I belittling myself for a girl who doesn't value on that I'm to show her that I care. Maya Angelou said it best when a person shows you their true colors believe it.
Don't even know why I watch videos like this anymore as I have ZERO interest in dating, never mind getting married.. Single and DELIGHTED to be that way and am STAYING that way.
Thanks for supporting the channel. The internet does come with an 'Off,' switch, should you feel the need to use it. Just sayin'. 🙂
Yeah this channel is mainly about improving yourself and improving your awareness while it can translate its way into dating, family, friendships, and work life
You never know - and you can date long term without considering getting married.
Someone please pay this lady 😭🙏 she's so right 💯💯
Thankyou Courtney, you are doing a great invaluable service to men who may be struggling with their relationships. Us men need to have higher standards and set healthy boundaries with our relationships!
Yes, I experienced all 6 of them from a single person, And many many more... Practically she is a narcissist.
Oouch
Number 1 is very terrifying. Some women can be very manipulative better than men. Some women are very good at gaslighting, make you feel guilty that you don't do something for her. Be smart and ditch her fast.
🙌🏼 spot on Court!!
Narcissist. Yes. Terrible. Stand up for yourself on day 1 and watch if her behavior changes. If it wasn't a test, she's a narcissist and needs to be on her own to either learn or endure her own punishment lol
CCC Courtney Compounds Courtney
Yes, if she gaslights you, drop her faster than a molten lava rock. You'll be glad you did! 😂
@@marcmays48 woah bro hahaha why pick it up to begin with? Steam and painful breathing is typically a natural sign to call in the professionals hahahahahaha
@@drip369 Yea, if only they came with warning labels. ⚠️. The only surefire method I've found is to watch out for unique hairstyles. When the hair ain't right, the head ain't right! The crazy ones might be more fun in bed, but that's about it, and they sure aren't worth the drama which inevitably follows. 😳
1. My ex-girlfriend exhibited strongly lack of accountability.
4. Very jealous of others but not me as she thought I was beneath her.
6. She took me for $10000. When I stopped the money flow she instantly damped me.
7. You missed the most toxic characteristic of all, no empathy. Run for the hills.
Anyway, my ex is all alone now and has zero chance of finding a partner. She is now in her late 40s, overweight, aged considerably and broke. However, she has passed on all her toxic behaviours to her daughter so the cycle continues.
I experienced four and maybe even five of these categories in a “successful “ banker lady I dated, along with the alcoholism and tendency towards depression typical among so many Russians like her. It was rather sad in retrospect but I appreciate your video helping me see the reality of how things were. Always is it better to know the truth about a relationship with another and to recognize what things are not going to change in life near future.
My Russian ex tried to blackmail me.
Buy her $hit or I leave.
I told her to leave.
Courtney, I was wondering if you can do a video on the application of bounderies in relationships. I've noticed a big trend in self-help now is advocating for boundaries, especially in the women's self-help space. I know some ladies that are the people-pleaser types that definitely need some help establishing healthy boundaries, so it's been good advice overall. But I'm here to bring up something that I don't see talked about much. There's a growing number of people that take the boundaries self-help advice and use it to be CONTROLLING of others. Could you cover this topic?
Kept a list for my ex and I got 5/6. Feel like number four should count for two tho, she had this trait in spades.
Craziest part of it all was I didn't notice how toxic it was until after the relationship ended. That's dodging a bullet if I've ever seen it. Great video Courtney. Lots of dudes need to see this so they don't have to learn the hard way like me lol.
Thanks for the heads up. Great video.
Thanks Courtney. Wish I knew all this before I was taken for a quarter mill and a 3 yr long divorce in Arizona. You should teach this to high school students.
Boys. Relax. Live your life. Organize your minds. Build healthy goals. Achieve goals. Strive. Seek knowledge and wisdom. Meditation and peace. Develop your souls. Build your bodies. Achieve and conquer. You can do this
Boring!!!!!
Spot on, Cortney. Yes I have experienced this as well. I could write few short stories about it...
You should
Maybe others can connect with you and share their experience too
Great practical guidelines for relationship. To put it bluntly what you’re trying to say is.” you can be in a relationship or a relationshit.
Most toxic people (men or women) from my experience and observation never change. The characteristics of toxicity generally demand they never want or seek help because it means they have to be accountable which is one of the things toxic personalities can't stand to do. It's like having their tooth pulled with no anesthesia.
Thanks for sharing Courtney. I think you missed a massive one here which is: IF SHE CONSTANTLY CRITICIZES YOU (clear cue of her own internal insecurities)
I’m 24 and never been in a relationship but I do have my stuff together and I am financially stable
Most women aren’t worth the squeeze. The burden is on the woman to prove their worth. Probably worth not marrying unless God gets involved, and I don’t mean meeting in a church.
