At least half of my female friends complain all the time about how controlling/mean/unfaithful their boyfriends are. They describe how their boyfriends treat them and its so obviously manipulative, but somehow they dont get it. For example one girl told me her boyfriend constantly suspects and accuses her of cheating, while he has cheated on her multiple times. He just broke up with her, then asked her to marry him a week later. Shes actually considering it. So many women somehow justify staying in these relationships, and never stand up for themselves. They think they can fix their boyfriend or something. I hate thinking this way because i know i sound like a "nice guy" complaining about how girls always go for "assholes". I know this isnt fully true. I think women tend to be heavily dependent on validation, so they seek it at all costs. Its easy to give it and take it away in order to real women in. Some seduction tactics actually rely on this just on a smaller scale. I just hate that this is the case. Where does one find a woman that isnt so easily manipulated? That likes you because of who you are rather than because of the attention you give them? I know i could play the manipulative game if i wanted. But i cant respect a woman that falls for it. I can pity them. That is all.
