12:30 "I get off work around 5:30. We could meet somewhere for a drink."
I sit back for a second and some doubt hits me. This girl's been actin' kinda flakey. Her responses have been very delayed. She didn't pick up the phone when I called yesterday. I doubt I want to even commit to a date at this point. I know this will lead nowhere. I say nothing.
6:12 "No beer?"
Well, looks like I got some obvious sign of interest. I got nothing better to do. Might as well give it a shot: "I just got dinner out. Let's meet at [a bar near me] at 7."
6:30 "Sounds fun see you there."
6:52 "Shoot. Something came up. I can't make it."
"What came up?"
7:19 "My sister. Sorry!"
"What happened to her?"
8:45 Still no response.
*****************************************************
After only two years pursuing women on the regular I have finally come to the point where I totally don't give a shit.
As of late I really haven't been putting much effort into meeting women. The "reward" of having sex with a desirable woman simply isn't enough anymore to put up with the stupid bullshit required to get it. Don't get me wrong. I still desire sex and intimacy. I would like to have a steady girlfriend some day and I would like to start a family with a woman I love. But the thought of talking to the women I meet on a regular basis is so repugnant to me that I think I prefer jerking off to going on a date with them. In fact, I think I would reject them even if they offered sex freely. It's gotten that bad.
My experiences with these women are far from unique. I think I have simply gained enough of these shitty experiences that I have come to expect them:
I expect a woman to flake on me for no reason despite her "obvious" interest.
I expect a woman to look at me as a potential rapist when I approach her in public.
I expect a woman to not respond for hours when I text her a simple question.
I expect a woman to fuck a tattooed asshole who hands her a beer rather than date a well-groomed gentleman trying to hand her flowers.
I expect a woman to attempt to hurt me emotionally if I call her out on any of her bullshit.
I have finally come to expect women to treat me as if I have no value.
This is something that I hate to write. It is something I hate to read. But it is what the experience I have had leads me to expect and there's no escaping it. I am sure that there are good women in the world. There must be. But it has become quite clear to me that they are in the minority in my experience and I must think and act accordingly.
With all of this experience there comes, of course, a lesson. The lesson I have finally learned is to trust my intuition and acknowledge these past experiences.
I once had the habit of viewing modern women as "the fairer sex". I used to believe that women were compassionate, trusting, nurturing, understanding individuals. I thought they were on the whole "better" than us in these ways. I used to give women the benefit of the doubt and tried to be "understanding" of women's shitty behavior towards me.
Perhaps the last flake was the flake that broke me. I am not pushing intuition to the side any longer.
This is the lesson that I know all men must learn if they are to be successful with women or anything at all. You must learn to expect the worst and trust their inner voice.
You know when a woman's a flake.
You know when she's bat-shit crazy.
You know she's treating you like you're a nobody.
You know she's milking you for attention and you know she's not going to put out for you.
You know she's looking at other men and not at you.
You know. And you must act on that knowledge.
I want you, dear reader, to learn easily what I have had to learn through a good deal of difficulty. When you find yourself in a situation where a woman is causing you distress, I want you to listen to yourself. I want you to listen to the voice that you often silence but is the voice that has your best interest in mind.
Acknowledge the reality of your situation, listen to yourself, and do what you need to do.
