She called me pathetic!

[KillingTime]

Well damn, me and this chick ive known for a while are just talking and she jokingly says that im so pathetic its funny (b/c i said some ****y line or whatever)
I know she was joking but it's like, my own mother couldn't get away with calling me pathetic! I just calmly fed her back some other ****y remark which I can't remember and said I had other things to do. She seemed kinda shocked that I just stopped talking to her.....
You think i should let it slide though? I know she was just playing but NOBODY calls me pathetic! Aside from that she's always been cool with me so should I give her a warning and another chance?

Yeah, give her another chance, but remember these girls already know what you're after with the C&F stuff. It doesn't take rocket science and is all over the web. Try to be more creative and original.

I really think that she meant it anyway like guys that are trolling for booty are pathetic. All girls say that but you know most girls like guys like that. I'm sure she has no idea that it had any effect on you.

I'm going to go out on an advice limb here so verify this with someone smarter than me before you try it. You may have been too C&F and if you told her that it hurt your feelings it might have an effect where she realizes you're not just a player but have feelings and are a great guy. Then off go her pants. I know in most cases you wouldn't want to say this to a girl but I can somehow see this working.

Look at you getting all bent out of shape over this! How PATHETIC!

Seriously though...I can completely understnad you being offended, but don't get all hurt and angry about it. The best thing you could've done was laugh about it.

Humor us for a minute...what was the line you used that got you the pathetic comment? And were you "C&Fing" the whole time? (overdoing it)

Worst. Advice. Ever.

dont know about you lot, but if a girl calls me pathetic thats it. look up the word pathetic and see the meaning, i dont care if she was joking,
people especially chicks treat you how you let them treat you. she could have said a word like jerk or something that would have been cool ? lol. but pathetic , common .

 

[MacDiddy]

When a girl says your pathetic, she thinks she's above you and confortable in putting you in your place.... there is alot of disrespect here....

The word pathetic has very powerful connotations... Its not all pleasant and it definitely requires a comeback of some sorts...

I usually say matter of factly "Are you like this all the time or with people who are more cool than you?" Then turn and with my head shaking in disappointment... I'll ignore her until she changes her tune, apologise or whatever to my satisfaction and neg her whenever I can...

 

[KillingTime]

Cool, no worries I gave her NO sign of it affecting me emotionally... I was super calm about it. I dont really remember how it went down, but we exhanged a few more words and then I just said I had other things to do.
She DID say she was sorry almost immediately afterwards BTW, and said she was a ***** for saying that or something like that... to which I agreed with a smirk, then I just went on my way.

We call each other names all the time in a playful way but yea, "PATHETIC" is worse than jerk or *******, I take those as compliments.

 

[MacDiddy]

Nice... thats the way!!!!

Let a chick get away with a misdemeanor and she'll think she can get away with a crime!!!

 

[PuertoRican_Lover]

This bold "pathetic" utterance deserves a slap!!! For practice check out this link!!HoSlap.net

You could just lay it on the line and ask her if she was serious about calling you pathetic. If she says anything but "Of course not, I was just teasing." you say "Well, I found that comment disrespectful and I didn't find it very funny." If she says anything but "I'm sorry." then she doesn't have a sense of personal responsibility and you should next her.

Do not waste time on women who think apologizing is beneath them or who are so self-absorbed that they don't realize that their actions affect the people around them.

Homey this is someone you have known for a long time, so this wasnt a date where every word you say may be used against you in a court of law. This was one of many moments you have been in each other's presence. Once two people are in each other's social circle, every single sentence you say is not a big thing. For-get-about-it

Always remember what is going on in your head, usually is only going on in YOUR head!

Looks like you need to practice on the art of C&F. Remember not to smile and have a calm and cool look on your face when you say it. if you smile you can be perceived as pathetic.
