4 Yr LTR, Unplugged 4-5 months ago and devoured sidebar and most RP texts.

Basically she drops subtle comments every now and then about me being 'unmanly'. Some examples include her saying I couldn't protect her in the event of a break-in, her father has more masculine hobbies than me, she can't imagine me being the manly type to ride a motorcycle etc.

And yes, I lift, but I think I do have lots of room for progress. I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on how I can improve, how I can respond to these comments (usually ignore them) and what she's thinking.

I think maybe I'm operating in her frame? I appreciate any advice
