It may sound like I'm on the right track when I say that women I date seem to hate themselves for falling for me. I'm speaking actually more about relationships.
I should have taken a career in engineering. I am an extremely "black and white" thinker.
Girlfriend gets emotional and claims that it's my fault.
Me: "you are in control of your own emotions. I don't own them. You've always claimed and appeared to be a strong woman. Now, you seem to suggest that you are emotional hostage to me?"
Yes, I realize that with that sort of response , that I am engaging her in this sort of negative web. What would some of you suggest?
This is sort of a typical scenario.
When I bring up an area for instance: her being too late when coming over or something not major, but needs addressing, I have heard this one before.
"I can never get mad at you because you either correct your faults before hand or openly admit them before I even have a chance."
I'm not arrogant or anything, but I do pride myself on learning from past mistakes and 'improving myself' with each new encounter. I'm pretty sure that they can tell that I exude confidence because I like the core who I am an d how I've continued to develop.
Although many of these women (relationship speaking) seem to be into me, it's kind of weird because they also seem to get a charge out of any blunder I may make. And... that's okay, I guess... but I'm wondering about something.
If we see a pattern with too many women, then we can say "dumb broad" and continue as we are or think.. Hmmm, am I projecting something to elicit this type of behavior?
It's not as though I want to change who I am, but tweaking our image when needed can prove to reap positive benefits.
Any take on this? Thanks!
