I was just in this fantastic book store, one of my favorite places, and I walked by the self-help section no doubt to a more interesting section and this title caught my eye. "Why Men marry Bitches". Charming title isn't it? Female author too. 😒
Anyway, I flicked through and found a few interesting points.
Relationship principle no. 39: When women react emotionally, men get three things: attention, control and the feeling of importance.
The upshot of it is a man will deliberately egg a woman on, deliberately provoke her, and annoy her to to get a response. This is how he figures out where he stands with a woman by how emotional she becomes. When a woman gets upset he knows she cares and he knows HE IS IN CONTROL! He wants to know if you can recognize when he behaves badly.
Relationship principle 40: When you are easily manipulated, he will assume he doesn't have to give as much in the way of commitment in order to keep you there.
Not to sure what the point of all that is? If you don't play hard to get he won't marry you, treat them mean and keep them keen, and that men are, according to the author, huge game players when it comes to women and relationships. I always thought most guys didn't play these sorts of deliberate games? Is that because I don't play these games that I don't recognize that everyone else is playing some sort of game?
Is dating and the goal of finding the one just one huge manipulation?? Gawd.... No wonder I am single. 😜
