Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

What would one do in an LTR, where the HB cries, ignores, and then says this.
I always thought caring and "being there" was AFC. What do I do?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Its emotional manipulation.

When emotional manipulation is used on you, you must never react to it with what the woman wants to happen.

You either dump that b!tch, flippantly agree with her conclusion or just tiredly say "Yeah" and then go back to eating your sandwhich.

You'll only put up with as much crap as you're willing to tolerate in life ace.

She sounds passive aggressive to me. i wouldn't fall for that

if you care, stay. but if not, then leave

Caring and being there is not AFC. having feelings is not AFC

Being her groveling fool is AFC (actually, below AFC)
Learn2Terms

are you average?
frustrated with dating women?
are you a chump to women?

then you are not AFC, simple as that

What's wrong with just saying "I do care"?? Should we be that heartless?

off course, just sayin "i do care" is gonna solve it :rolleyes:

i've heard those words so many times in so many ways that it does'nt effect me anymore.
most of the time people say it because you're not doing what they want you to do or when they're angry.

if he's done nothing wrong and actually does cares about her there's no reason for him to question his actions.

I'd let her have it for saying something like that. That's how they start wrapping you around their finger. It's like those 'if you loved me you'd get me *blank*" type of responses

I'd just say not caring got me this far, why start now babe? And walk off. Ignore her for a while and she might end up appologizing or not. Who cares, because she's just trying to shame you.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

is this your "best female friend" that you posted about before? Didn't you claim to not be interested in her but now your in a LTR with her?

Dude, it sounds like you got a bad case of oneitis. So stop acting like an AFC, break all contact with this girl for a while and get over it.

Caring about a girl you've been dating for a long time is afc?... What?

I don't think there is anything wrong about caring for a girl you're dating. It's when you smother her with affection that it becomes "afc"ish.

And the girl is being childish. Call her on it.

I would lean towards the possibility that the problem was with you instead of her. That somehow you changed, you were not the same as before when you started off with her.

Whether being AFC at first then changing to spinning more plates and as a result as a side effect giving off the DJ attitude or was it the other way round, this spells disaster.

However no one is to judge your situation due to the fantastic awesome kickass 2 lines given in explaning your situation so it could be due to like what KontrollerX says that it is a emotional manipulation.

And you need to listen to Stblack, caring and being there generally is not AFC. You are wrong; your mindset is wrong.
