Here's the thing - MAJORITY of men are very, very bad liars. Why? Because women make it very easy for them.
Ever wonder why when men want to con another men - they will present themselves as having authority and knowledge on stuff? Because that's how they see their target.
And so, ever wonder why most men, when they want to manipulate women - they act like bumbling idiots who know nothing? Strategic incompetence anyone? Why?
You guess it - because that's how they see their target.
Men know that if they can make women believe the "women are naturally superior" in certain area - they can get away with laughably half-assed lies. The man who can work with computers and know how to drive "mysteriously" for the life of them can't figure out how to cook pasta. Get f**king real.
But you know some women - and some of you even pre-FDS - vehemently believe that men are just dummy dumb-dumb and can't be relied on when it comes to certain things - and for some reason, they are things that are traditionally women-tasks like household chores and childcare.
So you see, why would men want to do all the hard work of being good at lies and manipulation ala James Bond - when they can just spew some ridiculous bullshit instead and women will just eat it right up?
And if the women start questioning their bullshit? They have an army of bros and pickmeishas young and old ready at anytime to gaslight you and accuse you of being the "crazy" one.
Most women around the globe grew up in this environment. Most women grew up surrounded by LVMs and this is our "normal", hence why we can't see the blatant lies and glaring red flags. We didn't see enough truthful men to have a frame of reference. We are desensitized and often unintentionally ignore red flags because it is "normal" to us.
So ladies, you SHOULD NOT be afraid of stumbling upon the most perfect suave psycho that can con you for years and years and only show their true face after a decade or two. Because the reality is this: most men already crack and show after three months - hell some show their colors after a week.
In most (if not all) cases - it is the women who refuse to see the blatant lies and glaring red flags in front of them and keep questioning, pondering, asking, hoping that someone can reinforce the house of cards they are sitting on.
Ignorance is a bliss they say - and naturally as women, we want our comfort zone to stay comfortable. We want our home to stay the way they are, we want our family to stay the way they are - we want our partner to stay the way they are. And we are so very afraid of anything that can ruin that comfort, we just rather put our head in the sand and deny the inevitable truth.
And here's the TRUTH ladies:
Most men aren't great liars - they are very bad, not good, horrible, lazy liars. It is us women who are so great at gaslighting ourselves, we can't even see (or refuse to see, really) even if the red flags materialize and sucker punch us in the face. Repeatedly.
Because we have been systematically brainwashed since birth to believe the lies, give men the the benefit of the doubt, make up stories about "why" he act like this and "suddenly" become like that. And society is 100% fully on board with this lies. People even make up excuses for violent murderers, r***ist, and cheaters ffs.
So stop being afraid of the so-called "great manipulative men" - you will probably never meet the true masters.
What you should be afraid of is YOUR OWN MIND - if you still aren't completely off the brainwashing and tend to "fog" your brain in relationship - you need to work on that before dating again.
The only way to not fall for a manipulative liar is to master the art of "I don't believe the man, I OBSERVE him and make my own judgement".
Because when you are at that level - You SEE men for who they truly are, not what your ideal version of him is in your mind.
You start to SEE the soulless eyes, lack of warmth, smiles that are never genuine, his calculated "kindness", the silent anger just thrumming right under his skin, the resentment he tries to hide when you are being "difficult".
You can FEEL just how unsettling being around him is, how your gut are going crazy trying to warn you and sending you signs to GET OUT NOW!
You realize just how GLARING his lies are and how BLATANT the red flags are. How laughably PREDICTABLE his lies are - because they all just follow the same stupid script! They can't even bother to keep their lies straight - and mostly depend on gaslighting, coercion, and abusive tactics to keep you subdued.
So ladies, stop being afraid of con men - they aren't that great. Start being concerned about your tendency to gaslight yourself, and start working to get out of that.
Stay safe, ladies.
