What I am saying, in a word, is that once you beat your own hook-ins with the person, you can beat them down in 5 minutes, in a nice way, too.
It is your own resonance with them that makes the problem.

If it is a truly evil person like the Mal Narc, they will go onto someone else.

If it is just a normal person, you handled the situation well and told them you were not interested, in a nice way.

Do you guys understand what I mean?

Perception in itself is a very subjective thing,it is influenced by past experiences,parental upbringing,past references etc. Perception exists in the mind only. A woman can act very lady-like towards a guy and the latter believes she is the Virgin Mary,doesn't make it true. Acting lady-like doesn't make you a lady. A guy can act like a gentleman ,be very nice and considerate towards women but deep down is another pathetic jerk.

Just saying.



I disagree in MOST cases. There are some guys who are pure animals but I think it is rare.

I think that many woman have a hatred of men and when a guy approaches they act like they tasted gruel.

I like men and I am flattered if a man thinks I am attractive. I let him know I appreciate it and that I respect him as a person by what I say and my body language etc but I let it be known I am not interested if I am not.

I think the woman is wrong if she goes"Ewwww, you are gross" in mannerisms or actions.

I think that is disrespectful to the guy. I think a smart woman can send 95% of the guys away with their ego intact and think you are a cool person.

If a person has a problem with a gender, the chart will show it. I have a very well aspected Sun. That is why I have this kind of wisdom in THIS area, not all areas.

I have many areas where I have little wisdom

[/B][/QUOTE]

Am sure you have wisdom in this area Ami, although my post wasn't about how wise women are or how wise men are towards women or about hatred and discrimination based on gender. So am not sure to what exactly you are disagreeing with.

And guys ARE animals. We all are. Homo Sapiens, so we are called.

Call it wise, social, evolved, whatever you want, we are still going to be primates with basic instincts.

I think you CAN control most people to treat you respectfully IF you treat them respectfully and with dignity and honor.

There are about 15% exceptions in both men and woman, I think.

These people you have to beat down if they harass you. They are the truly evil people and it does exist.

However, you can learn to beat them down in a way that you retain your own dignity but still get rid of them

Still not getting it.

You don't have to CONTROL anything. Someone treats you like cr@p, you leave. Someone makes you feel like you are some dumb person born from yesterday's rain, you leave.

You remain true to yourself that's it.

Control is manipulation, control is wrong. That was my point. While trying to control how others are seeing you, you lose focus on who you really are. If being goofy is taken as a sign of ''am so into you'' by someone, does it mean that you should stop being goofy?

Well, take a guy who hits on me that I think is icky. I can treat him badly or I can treat him with dignity and it is a win/win.

Take a woman who harasses me and won't stop, I have to beat her down so she knows not to bother me again.

Maybe, we are talking about the same thing in different words, Jessica.

Ami,
I agree 100%. I have had some girls be extremely rude to me for making the mistake of simply saying hello. One was soo rude to me that it sent me into a rage and I told her exactly what I thought of her. I unleashed my 3rd house mars on her and she had the audacity to say " Ugh you are a pig just like the rest of your gender, you have no respect for women". She said this after ripping my feelings and ego to shreds and then expects me to respect her! Forget that, respect is a two way street.

When I said a woman can control how guys perceive her she can control whether she is an easy lay or not. As kerosene said most guys categorize women into one of two groups, a potential serious relationship/marriage partner or F*** buddy. If a woman has a reputation for putting out easily and has slept with tons of guys she will automatically go into the 2nd category most of the time.

No Ami, we are not talking about the same thing.

You are talking about you.

I was talking about perception.

As long as someone is interesting I don't see what the number of sexual partners has to do with anything...
Unless you're talking about looks...

I wouldn't treat a proper club girl like trash because she decides a dress certain way on the weekend.
That's why basing your judgement on perception is flawed
People who judge others on appearance are too narrow minded,superficial and not worth knowing imo.

Unless someone is vile and rude I don't see a reason to change my attitude.

I am talking about simple ways to walk through life so that you get treated with respect. This goes to guys who hit on you.

You CAN control most people by treating them respectfully and with honor. They will treat you back, that way, except for the few evil people around.

These people need to be made to regret they messed with you imo

Fantastic thread hanna! Everyone, great comments!..... AND, this is WHY I TOTALLY gave up on ever finding anyone... too old, and I DESPISE DECEIT!! I don't attract a.holes, as much as Pathological LIARS... hmmm? maybe it's the same difference!

Pixie Jane.... your "cartoon" on "Negging"... OMG! I printed it out. With a.holes like THAT, I effing wouldn't want to go NEAR anyone again!

Ami Anne... I appreciate your balancing.

"Trust No One" I'm scared!!!!

Try dating a minority. Just one date.

I'm sure there are some eligible, educated and well mannered ones around.

I agree. This is just reality. You have to live in Realville because it exists, with you or without you

Hmm, I tend to disagree, I do think people are trained to notice how someone presents themselves and make a snap judgment on them.

This is why people buy expensive clothes and makeup etc, now taking that a step further and "they are wearing this that makes them that" is where you are correct.

Foolish of people to do that really.

I think Jessica is just pointing out you can't speak for the entire male population. Odette made a good point in advising me to get to know a variety of guys on a personal level, and she's right. In doing so that would help expand my tastes and preferences. As I already have somewhat of an eclectic palette, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to speak for every female on perception.

You do need to be able to stand up when someone is harassing you and make them regret it.

I do think that is needed and if that makes me bad, so be it
