Sometimes I get a bit of controversial opinions and advice here on this subject, and it made me think.

When you're relating to a girl, even if you're just looking for a plate, or if you're in a LTR or even if you're stupid and vetting wife material so you can ignore everything said here and marry, I see 2 plausible ways to deal with your girl's bad behavior, if (when) it happens: you can just let her be and be relentless and quick to ghost/demote as soon as it reveals itself, or you can try to work on her, not mate guarding or giving ultimatums, but setting healthy boundaries and using dread and other tools to force her to improve herself and be worthy of your time and commitment (or else, bye).

I can see both of this approaches not being mutually exclusive sometimes, but it seems like a little bit of a blurry path to me.

Where do you even draw the line actually? For example, if your LTR does something bad in your eyes but if it isn't enough to be a deal breaker, should you communicate the boundary or just kinda ignore and if she does it again and/or step up the game you just drop her?

In other words: in a relationship, should you just acknowledge women for what they are and let them be, going away when a line is crossed or should you use the "train a woman like a dog" approach?
