Hi,

Wanted to discuss a RP theory and potential drawbacks. So traditional RP theory is if a plate or a girl disrespects you, you immediately withdraw attention, and continue to do so if she disrespects you to the point of walking away and cutting off all contact

But I want to expand and test this theory a little bit. What if she's really interested but it's just a shit test and walking away is the wrong move? It's not possible to walk away from every relationship or friendship when it comes to disrespect right

So let's say you're in a LTR and the girl disrespects you (a few times), or even let's say you've been best friends with a guy for a long time but he has a tendency to talk shit and disrespect you

Sure, you can withdraw your attention and focus elsewhere. But is that it in terms of setting boundaries?

What I'm struggling with is to make sure, when you withdraw attention or don't say anything back or don't talk back (like your girl is yelling at you and you don't talk back), how do you ensure they don't see this as nice-guy behavior and you're not treated like a doormat?

How do you maintain boundaries with a girl or with a guy friend who do something you don't like? Because just ignoring what they did can seem like you're coming off as a nice guy doormat
