"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Sosuave,

How do you respond to a guy playing games (stupid text games precisely), and some disrespect?

This was someone I used to care about and respect. Now everything has gotten to a point where I'm fed up and need to put him back in his place and stand my ground.

Do I freeze him out? I haven't fed his hamster in ages. It's been around 4 days I stopped texting him. I want to "out-game" his game, so to speak. I already got a nice wall up.

Thanks Everyone, Help a N:):)dle
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Can you elaborate on what text games he's playing and how he is overall disrespecting you?

It doesn't matter if you date men, just take it in a general aspect. Has nothing to do with gender specifics

I really want to cut these games in two.

You want to play games to get a drama fix. Recognize that first. Ignore him forever. Anything else you are giving attention, which he wants.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys here willing to help you, but you're going to need to give us some specifics.

This is a forum for straight men, so I doubt you'd get much advice regarding your problem. On second thought, you may want to PM Gaylan.

Ignore it; no response can be the most frustrating thing to someone who is trying to attack you.

Thanks Vice and Lorenzo. You're right. I'll just stop the texts like I been doing. It's also a less problematic way. I must add that the only time I will respond is if there is something very important to be said as well as if he initiates :)

Secondarily,

Everything under the sun is gender-specific.

A common misconception among the handful of women here is that what works with women also works with men. In reality, techniques that men must use in order to effectively deal with women almost always backfire when women use them in their dealings with men.

I will repeat it... All things under the sun are gender-specific.

Secondarily, when you say "How do you respond to a guy playing games (stupid text games precisely), and some disrespect?", there is no way anyone can advise you without specific examples. We're not mind readers. Your refusal to give specifics concretely shows that you wrote your post because you were bored and wanted a little attention fix. Oops, bait taken....

when you say you haven't fed his hamster, are we talking about an actual animal here? cuz that sounds like abuse, and I may need to call the ASPCA
