I'm a nerd. She prefers that. I was just asking because I find that moving with the tide lands you in the shallows.What does your girl prefer?
Yeah online dating is for weird folk like me.@Nelomaxwell reminded me that it was time for an update so here we go....
Now too much has changed. I haven't seen Mr. Beautiful since the date in the park but we've been in contact regularly. He keeps trying to hit me up with "can I come see you" lines but it's not happening. Told him that I don't know him, he's acting pressed and he needs to slow his roll (in the nicest most "submissive" yet direct way possible). Conversation ended with a good heart to heart. But he's probably full of it. I'll update with anything happening with that. I doubt it. But I will keep being as pleasant as possible until is fizzles away.
Mr. Four Years is starting to act a little mushy. I took him out for his birthday. That check was MIGHTY. But it's all good. Calling me and texting me more, wanting to spend more time with me. And for the first time in 4 years asked me about my dating habits.
He asked me was I "done dating." I said "no" and that was pretty much the end of that conversation.
It seems to really enjoy the submissiveness. It seems to have taken him from wanting to see me from time to time to literally hitting me up a few times a week and wanting to hang out all the time. Still trying to take me on that trip too.
Haven't met anyone new though. But honestly I've been in the house working hard so I have made no effort to put myself out there.Mr. Beautiful I really met in passing. I think Imma need at least a few more guys to try this on but things have been slow. Sorry I wish I had more of an update. May try online dating just to rev up the numbers for the experiment but not sure if I really wanna torture myself like that.

Shes not arguing for no reason tho.
What she means is that when she feels disrespected or something that needs to be corrected. She doesn't just react right away in resistance to it. She's not fighting fire with fire.
Shes taking a step back and allowing the whole thing to play out so she can get a better understanding of it and act on it in a less stressful way. Because when you attack someone who you perceive as attacking you both of you get defensive and not much gets accomplished because no one wants to listen instead they are both trying to get their points across.
Her list for submission is kinda odd for people who aren't a$$holes, though.
The thing about being happy and smiling more, I kinda get because women are told to smile a lot but most societal norms dictate that that's how normal people act in public.
And I'm in the camp that most people are a$$holes but can't really wrap my head around it.
Only read the first and second page but that first interaction she described could've been solved without being argumentative in an a$$hole way. Homeboy could've asked her if she actually wanted help.
All this shyt just seems manipulative in a way. Maybe because I'm seeing that she's not that passive of a person.
I'm a winner hun. I do what I gotta do to get the best out of what I am doing. If me changing my attitude is going to make my interactions/ relationships better than Imma do that. I'm still the same me but I'm learning to be more chill/ cooperative/helpful with it. I don't really see why anyone would have a problem with that but most people aren't like me. I'm always trying to get/be better. That's what I'm here to do. Most folks too busy trying to make excuses for why they can't be better. That ain't me. If you think it's manipulative than so be it but you gotta start somewhere.
Nah, you're misunderstanding me. It's just what you described is how most people act in public. You just presented yourself as a difficult person.
And you presented it as doing this to get your way. To win. Not to just become less argumentative or to just chill or even become a better person. That's why it came off as manipulative because you didn't describe it in the way you just did.
It is what it is but just in the way you responded to me with all that extra is more of the person from the OP.
Is the first guy you're like that to?I been looking for this thread all morning.
I had an epiphany Sunday that I'm kinda difficult and mean to my BF for no reason..
Gonna try this out ...
No. I've always had an attitude problem but I think my last relationship made me "mean."Is the first guy you're like that to?
Hmm. Worth looking into.No. I've always had an attitude problem but I think my last relationship made me "mean."
I wouldn't say I'm not "submissive" I already cook/clean...I'm just resistant to his ideas and argumentative.
