As many have already pointed out here, men tend to fight with their fists, women try and mind fuck you.

If you've had enough or her bullshit, or maybe you just feel the girl you're interested in or pursuing isn't worth your time - then move on swiftly.

** You don't need to explain yourself **

Look if she wasn't a total bitch by all means deal with her amicably. I'm talking about scenarios where the girl was clearly just using you, or stringing you along in some way.

By explaining yourself or offering her advice you might think you're "letting her down easily" or "being the better person". If she IS that total cunt that you suspect, then all you're doing is educating her sociopathic nature. She'll take your advice, just not in the way you think, perhaps she'll just better disguise her true nature for the next poor sod.

Another thing you can expect is when you do just walk away, and I'm not talking about pure ghosting, more a "Look this isn't working out between us, so I don't think we should continue, also if I want friends, I have more than enough guy friends". - So you can expect some backlash. It's highly unlikely she'll just say "Sure, that's ok enjoy your life". Maybe you'll get ghosted that instant, more likely you'll now see another side to her.

And here is her trying to mind fuck you. Insults, or trying to pin on you the exact same implicit reasons you're actually calling this off in the first place. For example - a woman who is dishonest will claim you're dishonest. One who's using you, will claim you were just using her etc....

And it is at this point, you really do want to ghost indefinitely. Make sure you do not insult her in any way. State your case, and then never talk to her. If she's on your facebook - ghost her there, then give it a month and remove her as a friend. Remove her from your phone, etc. Avoid any places you think you'll bump into her for a good solid month.

I know at that point you might feel the need to defend yourself - rather don't. Don't even bother - the hamster will be working over time if you just leave it. If you do, the only thing you've accomplished is lowering yourself to her level.

Don't believe her lies either. Often prospects you're interested in, who friendzoned you or favor zoned you, once you give that last walk away - Now come out and say "Actually I was really interested in you, I wanted to date you, etc" - It's horseshit and you know it, don't reply. Some might even come with ridiculous claims like "Well it's a pity, just bought new lingerie and was hoping you would come over tonight" - More horseshit, don't buy into it - Don't reply with something witty - simply walk away.

And then don't ponder on her. Move swiftly along - in search of that one person who might be your unicorn - or close enough.

And as far as lessons learnt - Learn to cut your losses earlier if you feel you're wasting your time. Don't tolerate bullshit just for the promise of distant sex. Fuck that shit.
