I filled out this getting to know your friends better survey my friend sent me. After filling it out I sent it to one of my female friends I thought was a friend. She sent it back after filling her's out and commented on the soft drink question. It asked what was your favorite soft drink. I put Rum and Coke. She said that my answer was not a soft drink but an alcholol beverage. So I wrote back and said "Of course it's a soft drink, it all depend on how you drink it. Guy goes up to the bartender and asks for two glasses. One glass with Rum and the other glass with Coke. The guy switches drinks with the girl next to him when she is not looking and begins to talk with her while enjoying his coke". She writes back and says "You odd sad little man". Now I ask you, is this belittling and disrespectful or what? I wrote back and said "I don't play those games. Later". Then blocked her email.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Disrespectful girl
- Thread starter AJTD
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Take a joke bro. "I don't play those games, later" sounds like a line a female would and has recited to me. Men who take women's jokes too seriously are always the ones on the sidelines with their confidence shot down. Take women seriously and you'll drive yourself nuts for the rest of your life.

Start considering it a joke. Like I said, what women say must be taken in stride. Get mad at a woman because she made fun of you? Hopeless. Don't take a offense and maybe give her a little taste of her own medicine in return? More like it.AJTD said:I don't consider odd sad little man a joke.
Getting mad at women is like going against the grain. It's a lose lose situation. But still, men still do it.
Anytime someone puts you down, they are trying to take from you. They get their power by having power over others. Without that power over others, they have no power. So don't give her any power. While she can do whatever she wants, you don't have to be there to put up with it.
Do not have too much tolerance when it comes to women and what you allow them to say or do to you. Just shrug it off, and move on to another woman (or women) who actually finds you valuable, and have mutual respect. Don't let people take from you, dude.

"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.

i used to have an afc crush on my friend's little sister in my afc days. I was at said friends house yeaterday and his sister was there. She started saying some disrespectful stuff and i'll be honest it bothered m a bit, but only because this is someone ive known for maybe a decade and had afc feelings for. But I was thinking while she was spewing things that i'm better than her (for various reasons) and if anything she's probably insecure with herself and finds humor in trying to knock other people down to her level. I would never give her or anyone else that power. Im too strong for that and really, she can go f*** herself because I don't need anyone's validation. However I must say that I wouldn't even disclose how it made me feel. Id simply make a mental note and act accordingly.

The real question is why do you care.
OP, you did the right thing by blocking her. "You odd sad little man" is very disrespectful if it isn't followed by a smiley or something which clearly indicates it as a joke. If it wasn't followed by such an indicator, don't take it as a joke. Ignore this girl from now on.
