During past month there have been at least 3 times my gf cried when communicating with me.

There have been cases she cried in past as well.

Some of which have been objective for me being an asshole, but some of it regular women bullshit.

When she cried I hold on like a rock, and don't fall for it, but eventually I am like "Ok, I'm gonna get you an ice cream" or "ok, let's figure something out".

And this is THE SAME EXACT SHIT my ex used on me.

She even used crying to almost manipulate me into marrying her LOL.

Women can sense that I'm compassionate and feel sorry when people cry.

If they get angry with me or act out I start ignoring them and being cold until they say they behaved badly or apologise, but if they cry eventually I start feeling bad.

But this is EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION.

So despite me thinking I'm all red pill and stoic women's tears still have an effect on me.

Now what do I do next time she is starting to bawl? Just leave the room, switch off the phone (this would be too rude, we aren't like that), but I could tell her: "Listen, I can't hear you cry like that, please calm down, think things over and contact me when you are ready to talk normally". Or if she lies in my bed crying - sometimes I just hug her and am like "it's going to be ok" and try to cheer her up, but if she wants to get something out of me - I don't want to provide it.

How to best go around this?

Women are so cunning, they figure out your soft spots and hit them. FUCK. Been reading TRP for 5 years and still can't handle a bitch.
