  • 8 ways CON-MEN GAIN LEVERAGE over women to use them
    Con-men love to trick women out of things. Just like gold digging women try to con men. Men often use cons to trick women and gain emotional leverage over them. Once they get you to fall for them you become their property and willing participant to abuse. Beware of these 8 signs.

    1. Everything moves fast 💨.
    2. Future projection.

    4. Inserts into your finances.
    5. Overreactes to negative affection.
    6. Victimizes himself with your boundaries.
    7. Suggest you are un loyal.
    8. He is the victim in all his stories..

Whenever a man asks YOU for money, politely decline, and cut off all communication with him. He will expect YOU to pay for everything in the future. Learn the game, or get played. Your choice.

      *1,000% it was a test.*
      I was fed the same line. First, I said "Aww" (expressing pity for him), then told him that he must become more responsible, as losing your wallet is major. I also suggested/reminded him to call the 🏦 1st thing in the AM, and cancel his 💳s.
      He felt a bit condescended, but still asked if I could pay his $90 phone bill.
      I asked if he could pay online. He excitedly said YES! I said _sure_ ...and sent him a $90 Zelle request via 📱 while _still_ in that call. 😅 He was confused.
      I reminded him that losing one's debit card doesn't mean you lose _access to the funds in your account,_ so thankfully he can still make online payments and transfers...Especially with apps! 🤓😉
      Likely embarrassed, he instantly Zelle'd me the $90, and I used it to pay his bill online.
      I gave him a chance, giving him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he was just having a bad spell and not using his 🧠. A few weeks later, he called _while working_ and asked me to buy him lunch. He was upset when I told him NO, that I do not give men money.
      _I am no fool._
      ...Especially after I _was, once,_ >a decade ago. I _never_ forgot that time... And I STILL want my $10 back from _that_ dude!! 🤣 (LoL, but seriously. Call me petty, but he was petty for asking, _then_ for _not_ paying me back.😒)
      Anyhow, I made it extremely clear who I am, my standard, and how I function Then, I sweetly suggested that perhaps we're not compatible, and that we each deserve what we desire, and to be loved for who we are. He refused to lose me, and began Zelle'ing _me_ money, and asking my clothing and shoe sizes.
      Some men are bill-splitters, and that is totally fine for women who are, as well.
      *I am not, nor will I ever be. I will NEVER be a cosigner, and I will never [again] give a man money.* {That lil' $10 was a great one-off lesson for me.}
      If you're one who differs from that, fine. Just know who you are, and behave accordingly. Be Well, Be Blessed.🙏🏽💖

      Right, good question. There can be a number of/varied reasons; not always "conning" _per se._ Like some women, some men are actually _desperate_ for love and relationship, especially after so long without, after a string of heartbreaks, and/or a certain age. I have 2 friends like this, and they _reek_ of it; it's pitiable.

    Also they will tell you they love you very early on. They dont even know you and they are “in love”.
    If they mention you should change your looks early on “you should stop wearing makeup ect” they are testing you to see if you will change yourself for them.
    And lastly, if you ask them “what are we” they wont give a straight answer. They might be literally telling you they love you but cant clearly define what the relationship is or where its going.

I was conned out of most of my life savings by my boyfriend of six years and he didn't start conning me until 3 years into the relationship.

So four out of eight con - ways he pushed on me. I rejected him (after being intimate with him, as it felt too "business like" for me). Soon after, he put a WhatsApp profile photo of him and some young girl kissing him, hahaha. I'm too old and too smart for that shyte.

    I dealt with a con man a couple years ago I saw every red flag and called him out on it immediately he began punishing me ridiculing me putting me down then stalking me and he still keeps trying to show up. He thought I was stupid the entire time 😂I wasn’t I was lonely but I saw it, I just felt sorry for him and was nice. It was crazy how quickly he was trying to get into my finances too. I put a stop to all of it immediately. Disgusting behavior. It was never going anywhere ever I had just got out of 18 year relationship where I built a business with my ex I wasn’t about to let him into my financial life after what I had already been through. It took years to have what and I’m still trying to recover from the past trauma we ended things right before the pandemic it makes sense. I was vibing low and attracted a low life. I wasn’t about to let a stranger just move in on it and I never would. Great video

      1. DO NOT lend or give a man money for any reason.
      2. DO NOT let him move in to live with you.
      3. DO NOT put his name on your apt or home.
      4. DO NOT let him drive your car.
      5. DO NOT put his name on your bank account.
      6. DO NOT give him a key to your car, apt or home.
      7. DO NOT make him an "authorized user" on any of your credit cards.
      8. DO NOT have s3x with him. (Tell him you are celibate)
      9. DO NOT rent a car for him to drive.
      10. DO NOT go "50/50" on a date! (The man PAYS for all dates, trips, etc. NO EXCEPTIONS!)
      11. DO NOT let a man make you a "place holder", stringing you along for years with no ring or wedding date. (Date only 1 to 2 years maximum)
      23. DO NOT let him know where you live, or pick you up for a date at your home. (Always drive your own car, and meet him at the place of the date.)
      24. DO NOT go on "coffee dates", "meeting in the park", etc. (He's cheap, don't want to spend money on you)
      25. DO NOT go to a man's home after a date for any reason.
      26. DO NOT let a man come to your house to "Netflix & chill."
      27. DO NOT start cooking and feeding a man. He is NOT your husband.
      28. DO NOT tell him where you work, or how much money you make.
      29. DO NOT give a man money to "start a business". (An old con game)
      30. DO NOT tell him what type of man you're looking for. (He will only "pretend" to be him)
      31. ALWAYS bring your own money and credit card with you on a date. (He may claim to not have his wallet, or not pay at all for the dinner. If so, pay YOUR half, then leave.)
      32. NEVER "offer" to pay for anything on dates, including leaving a tip.

    Thank you. This is all true. Happily, these people leave when they do not get their way, however there are cases of women marrying these guys and losing a lot $ and health.

    This is so helpful..I realized I already know a lot of this but it’s good to re hear it and also validate my own personal experiences where I wasn’t quite sure but ended up cutting them off (thankfully!!) and so good for women to hear in general! Thank you, you have the best content, so clear but easy to follow and real!!

    Whew! I’m a brand-new subscriber. You said everything that needed to be said! I actually had decent boundaries until this last guy. Now I can’t say he is consciously conning me. But he is addicted to cigarettes & alcohol - he denies the alcohol. What I've learned from a former co-worker who’s in recovery is that all addicts are liars, even if they are just lying to themselves. So I’m being emotionally conned - if he can’t be truthful to himself, he can’t be honest with me. Thank you!! Me finding your channel is a sign that the work I’m putting in is paying off.

      At this age, getting your education and deciding on what career or business you want to start should be your top PRIORITY!!! Leave these boys and men alone! They will only use you for your young age, ruin your life, maybe leave you as a single mom; and before you know it all of your best years are gone. The std and HIV/AIDS rate is out of control.
