[@metalmonster34]

I've had two women test me for "jealousy" or "territorial" nature by doing this psychotic thing: they'd start talking to a guy next to us at a bar, begin ignoring me, and get their number whilst looking at me for a reaction. One of them said, "does it bother you I did that?" Both times I smiled, was unphased, drank my whiskey, and knew I wasn't going to deal with their bullshit after that night ever again. They'd try to ensue more dates after that. Till this day those sociopaths are still single and living with cats (seriously).

[@Eserr7856]

It seems alot of these women, and people in general, are really wounded inside, partly due to being raised in toxic environments as children, compounded by being exposed daily to our over sexualized, consumerist, narcissistic society therefore, creating alot of broken inauthentic individuals

Agreed. One of my biggest red flags is when girls don't even acknowledge the bill. I always offer to pay, and when a girl offers to pay her share she gets put high on my list. It completely kills the vibe i have for a girl if she doesn't even thank you/acknowledge paying for it at all. That being said I always try to pay out of how I was raised, but when someone doesn't even remotely try to pay for themselves, its a huge turn off for me and I usually end up not dating them again. Again I know nerves are sometimes on the table, and if i pay and the girl thanks me later and says she will buy next time, I can appreciate that. But when theres 0 intension of them saying thank you or paying for themselves I usually call it quits there. Because to me that sounds like I'm about to get used.

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

i generally agree, but sometimes a person can be genuinely good and they'll stop if you tell them to. sometimes it's because of habit or social expectation, sometimes it's because they're a bit mischivioeus and want to have fun. i don't think you should be so harsh and immediately reject them after just 1 "game"

[@snejls]

@@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 I would like to respond to you in a way that potentially covers the main thoughts behind this. First of all (I'm just curious), what do you mean by "social expectation"? Now, the reasoning behind my original comment: Problem with a lot of men nowadays is that they don't often realize their value. They very often submit themselves to girls by giving them a lot of attention and time they don't deserve - they basically give them free attention for nothing. Once a girl knows she can get it from you just like that, she will lose respect for you. You're basically just another guy that gave her follow on IG. I don't say be intentionally harsh to women and intentionally ignore them. No, don't do that. What I'm saying is know your value as a man, respect yourself and put yourself first. Your own life is your highest priority. Women are not and never be in the first place in your life, as harsh as it may sound. I know it sounds very rude and harsh but in the end it actually benefits both of you (we can have a call if you want me to explain this to you on a deeper level). Now, with everything mentioned above, how does this apply to the so called "game"? Well, a girl can be the nicest girl on the Earth but if you don't set boundaries and let her do anything she wants, she immediately loses respect for you. She knows that you let her do that and she got away with it. And since she knows you already let her get away with it, guess what, she will do it again. You can say whatever you want, but ultimately, the relationship is about respect. If she doesn't respect you, you're just wasting time with her. Now, what you said about this tolerance for one game, it may work, but from my own experience, rarely does this really work. Just ask yourself this: If she's like that, if she plays games with you, why the hell would you even bother wasting your valuable time with this kind of girl? Why don't you rather find a girl that is genuinely interested in you, is straight with you and gives you clear signs that she really likes you? What the hell is wrong with you, man? Don't be delusional. Don't be a simp. She's not worth your effort. If she's playing games with you, she's wasting your time you could have otherwise spend on improving your life, just think about it. Know your value, man. Put your life first, since it's your highest priority and don't let any girl distract you from your goals, regardless of how beautiful she is or how big of a connection you feel. Dude, there are so many beautiful women that you have a strong connection with. Stop having this mindset of "Oh, I think she's the one". More likely than not, she's not. Like I said, this might be a bit too complex topic for a comment section, so if you want, we can arrange a call and I will explain it to you in a more detail. I wish you all the best and good luck on your life journey. Stay strong, man.

Supportive? Does she have good morals? Will she be a good wife and mother? Because if the only thing she's offering in return is her body, or her fake plastic looks, then that's a pretty shit trade. It's not even that I necessarily disagree on the things she mentions, they are things I think are correct for a man to do, and things I do for my fiancée. But a proper relationship is a give and take from both sides, with both adding up their best qualities and helping eachother overcome their worst ones, to become a better whole. All her cringy message conveys is entitlement of galactic proportions and a willingness to play stupid games, which I don't think deserves any kind of proper response, but rather scorn

[@LethalByChoice]

I have a serious problem with women like her making themselves a massive target where they have no situational awareness or contingency plan in the event that a date goes south, and yet expecting the guy to be all of this that she wants. The irony is that she puts guys through tests to see if they can provide and protect, when she should be doing that herself already. She should be looking after herself first and foremost rather than basically plopping herself in a guy's arms with the expectation that he'll protect her. Unnecessarily risking her safety that will get her stranded at 4AM in a massive city... Real smart. These women are literally putting their lives in these guy's hands completely and are at his mercy because they want all the responsibilities to fall onto him. They aren't protecting themselves and would rather risk putting their lives in the wrong person's hands over a fucking test. If she's out past 12AM with a guy and not considering that maybe this guy is sketchy and that she's already backed herself into a corner, the best case scenario was that he left her in the middle of Miami at 4AM. I get it, that's a sketchy and inconsiderate thing to do and tells ME as a guy that he isn't into her like that, but she have no idea how badly it could have gone. These kinds of women are not datable for their own sake. They constantly put a massive target on their back, with no concern for their own potential safety and have next to no situational awareness or escape route in the event that a date goes south.

You will then see oh that's why she dumped me or why this girl turned cold and ghosted me after I said X etc. Don't be mad at nurture but learn. Women test with competency, strength, and masculinity. They will change an opinion for example to see if you will change yours to match. If you do this you will be done. A woman randomly did this to me a few months ago but I was prepped and she was all over me and flirty afterwards as that was rare in her eyes. Research the material and learn from ccw and others. You will beat out rich and handsome men as women prefer those who pass these tests and are more masculine and badass and strong over richer and handsomer

However, when you tell them up front before even starting the relationship that you are NOT interested in marriage or having kids, foolish women ignore this and look at you as a challenge. Another thing is, too, how women want to constantly change their man. Another game they play is withholding sex until they get their way. When an ex did that to me, I said right to her face, " Oh, goodie! Because I have been wanting to bang the hot woman up the street. This specific woman that I'm speaking of, her name is Monica. When Monica and I first started dating, she never told me I would have to punk off and get rid of her ex-boyfriend Dan. It was like she kept quiet about that part. Dan was fresh out of jail, could bench press 450 pounds as he lifted weights like 6 hours per day. Dan was threatening me as I was in Monica's apartment, he's on the phone with his buddies making all types of threats. I kid you not, I talked bravely through the phone, but in reality I was shaking like a leaf on a tree during a wind storm. So Dan shortly afterward shot at Monica's windows with a bb gun. Guess who had to fix the window? You see, Monica mismanaged a LOT of things and threw me in harms way while doing it. So when Monica knew I wanted to start a business, all she could see was the dollars coming in and started talking her junk - "I want to get married and have a baby!" To ladies who read this. When a woman puts her man's life in jeopardy, we look at it as "That's strike 1" Monica also caused my motorcycle to get stolen! That was strike 2. Then, when Monica pulled that stunt when I was starting a business, "I want to get married, I want to have a baby!" That was strike 3! See ya! Men are way too soft with women.

First, we went on a shopping spree! Yea! Glady LOVED IT! Then I waited a day or two and while waking up one morning I said "Glady, I have some bad news! She said what? I said, "I'm Broke!" She said what? I said, "Yeah, I'm broke!" Then Gladly flipped out! What do you mean you're broke? I have given you the best years of my life! Why am I even with you?!!! She would constantly repeat this. I had suddenly become this HUGE LOSER in her eyes. Yet she was the one who was caught sleeping with other guys. Well, this went on for days! Like 3 days! Day 3 was enough for me! I said to her Glady, guess what? We're moving! She said really? I said yep! I'm going my way and you're going your way! Then Glady said, "Oh, so now you're leaving me too?!!!! I said YEP! Then I took the trash to the curb!!! Leaving Glady was THE BEST THING I EVER DID! Till this day I can't stand her! All this happened back in 1997. I have remained single since then. No sloppy, mean, cruel divorces ( as one would go through if married ) nope! Just open up a can of "B!tch be gone" and POOF!!! B!tch was gone!

As the father of two daughters and a son I would be irate if I heard any of them treating another person like this. What spoiled brats these young people have become. People like her will give out “tests” until they look around and there won’t be anybody to give a test to.

[@LethalByChoice]

And look at it this way, I have a serious problem with women like her making themselves a massive target where they have no situational awareness or contingency plan in the event that a date goes south, and yet expecting the guy to be all of this that she wants. The irony is that she puts guys through tests to see if they can provide and protect, when she should be doing that herself already. She should be looking after herself first and foremost rather than basically plopping herself in a guy's arms with the expectation that he'll protect her. Unnecessarily risking her safety that will get her stranded at 4AM in a massive city... Real smart. These women are literally putting their lives in these guy's hands completely and are at his mercy because they want all the responsibilities to fall onto him. They aren't protecting themselves and would rather risk putting their lives in the wrong person's hands over a fucking test. If she's out past 12AM with a guy and not considering that maybe this guy is sketchy and that she's already backed herself into a corner, the best case scenario was that he left her in the middle of Miami at 4AM. I get it, that's a sketchy and inconsiderate thing to do and tells ME as a guy that he isn't into her like that, but she have no idea how badly it could have gone. These kinds of women are not datable for their own sake. They constantly put a massive target on their back, with no concern for their own potential safety and have next to no situational awareness or escape route in the event that a date goes south.

In this super toxic internet environment, honest , kind, SANE and dare I say normal people like you, in a time when most people seem like they’ve lost their minds, you deserve to be supported and heard. I agree with you that putting people to “tests” deliberately says more about you than it does them (and not in a good way). Surely you’ll discover things organically as you go. Me personally, I just moved to live in the US recently. I grew up in the Middle East, gender roles is much clearer. A man ALWAYS pays the bill. Weather it’s the first date or the one millionth. Even when it’s men out, we fight over who’ll pay “I’ll take care of this, no I’ll take care of this”. You’re considered cheap if you don’t do that. Only exception is when you’re a group of close friends who are always going out together, then yes we split the bill. Regarding the jacket test, I actually was with a Canadian woman once in Italy, it wasn’t a date, we just met in a restaurant in Manarola. As two strangers and tourists, we exchanged talk, she sat on my table and we talked and had fun. It was late so I walked her to where she was staying, it started to rain, I had a jacket on and she didn’t, it seemed the only normal thing to do which is taking off my jacket and giving it to her. I find it confusing, here in the west, when women on one hand are almost fully empowered, yet they still ask for these chivalrous acts of men. It’s like they want it both ways. We’re strong and equal and free to do what we want (which is amazing and great) , but they still want to comfy to traditional gender roles only when it’s convenient to them!

It’s not a red flag for someone to not get your sense of humor on a first date. Like if you told me the joke you stated in the video, “oh your not muscular enough for me”. If I don’t know you enough to understand that you are being sarcastic, I’d assume you are just being honest.

Next we have two Ubers coming, and mine gets there first. I offer to stay with you and you say "no you don't have to do that" but mean the exact opposite because you want to test me? Done. Bye. A. you just proved you can't even communicate basic needs without being manipulative and B. you just withheld your consent for me to remain there with you. What am I supposed to do? Hang out with you after you just explicitly said NO DON'T DO THAT? There's a reason I asked if you wanted me to stay there in the first place. It's called healthy communication. I'm not going to forcibly protect you against your will. Healthy humans don't do that, toxic people do. Lastly, if you complain that you're cold and I offer you a jacket but you refuse and continue to complain and offer no alternative, this is an obvious red flag. It means you just like to complain, and have no interest in cooperating to solve the issue. If you complain you're cold, refuse my jacket, and then you're suddenly not cold anymore, then I know you just lied, and you're done. As you might have surmised, I don't have any tolerance for manipulators. Neither should you. Don't settle for terrible behavior.

I went on a date with a young woman about two months ago, and she could not stop complaining about the guy she went on ONE date with about a week or two prior to our date. The whole time she kept bringing it up about how she just didn't understand why he ghosted her, and even leading up to the date in text messages, she constantly mentioned the guy that ghosted her. Our date started at a coffee shop and ended at her place watching a movie, where she gave me a giant Valentine's Day card that was supposed to be for the ghost guy, but since she never heard from him again, she gave it to me instead. After all that, she ghosted me a few days later and I'm really grateful she did. Spared me the trouble of having to tell her it wasn't going to work out. Moral of the story is, avoid talking about your ex's, and if you have to answer questions about ex's, be as brief and vague as possible, like this video says "it just didn't work out". You don't have to tell all the horrible and toxic things they did to you. Just say it's over and move on.

[@KingoSlice]

While I fundamentally agree with your take on paying for the first date and how it can show that a guy is friendly, accommodating, and can provide, the flaw with it in practice is that guys constantly go through first dates that never lead anywhere, so these “just pay on the first date” bills rack up really quick. I’ve even known women who meet up with guys from dating apps just for a free lunch/dinner with no intention of pursuing anything with them at all. These experiences happen all the time with guys in the dating scene, and it’s frustrating because you walk in feeling like a 75/25 chance that no matter how well the date goes, nothing will come of it, and still feel obligated to pay for everything just to have that 25% chance of “passing” this type of test. For this reason alone, I would maintain that the first date should be split evenly without preconceived judgement. Anything after that is fair game, as it at least indicates that both people enjoyed each other’s company enough to keep things going.

In this particular video, I agree with all the points that you made, and I think you should have emphasized one of your final comments earlier on: women that deliberately put men through these tests are raising red flags. In general, men are expected to be more down-to-earth, straight forward, and honest, and if men ever put their dates through tests like these, I'm sure that in most cases their dates would end the prospective relationships immediately, and then call out those men publicly or tarnish their reputations. Think of the equivalent of your example of a woman sarcastically commenting on the weakness of a man that works out at the gym everyday: the equivalent would be a man sarcastically commenting on the fatness of a woman that puts much effort into controlling her weight. How would any woman react to that? It wouldn't matter if it was just a test or a joke, and in some ways the fact that it was a test or a joke might make the comment worse.

I've known a handful of women who speak directly in communication, and I appreciate their candor. Most of the ones I've known are not candid. I'm not interested in playing mind games; I have neither the time nor the patience for it. I'm not interested in trying to translate the cuneiform of those mind games. The easier of the two communication styles to learn is the direct one. Speak honestly and openly with me, or leave me in peace.

Went on a date with a woman years ago. From the beginning she was more into her phone and who ever was in the other end of it. I could tell she was just there for a foodie call. Afterwards I paid the bill and said with sarcasm “thank you for a lovely evening you can go find Chad now” them got up and left. She was yelling wait you can’t leave me. She drove herself there. But I did. She wasted my time. I wasn’t gonna keep playing her game. She also wanted to go see a movie. Chad can pay for that. The server is a friend of mine. He told me when she yelled that I couldn’t just leave HER there he said “looks like he just did. Want a to go box for that dessert?” LOL

It might not have been Chad. It might have been Tyrone.

I don’t worry about passing “a test” if a woman feels like they have to test me, I respond by walking away… someone who wants to be with you won’t test you….

[@larsf.4756]

The sad thing is, many of these "tests" are actually a kind of behavior that is attractive to more traditional guys, meaning that they want to protect and provide. In that sense, it can be more of an invitation than a test. (Based on my experience the cultural background is very important in that regard.)

I met a woman at a yoga class and I told her that she is pretty & had a young body. Then she was telling me that she has a boyfriend. So I thought that she wasn't interested in me. So I was acting neutral & nice. I didn't try to ask her for a date. Then she started hitting on me & she walked me to my car. I was shocked but I talked nice to her. & told her that I would see her at the next Yoga class.

So let me get this straight. If I don't pay for dinner, walk you to your uber, and txt you for safety, or give you my jacket, I'm not worthy to date, but if I do those things, I'm a simp...

[@benedekmorhorvath4230]

Just imagine a girl saying to you: "I'm freezing, can I get your jacket, if it's no problem for you?" No tests, just upfront, and guys will naturally going to give it to you their jacket. Ladies, if you learn our language, you will understand us more, rather than testing us, wether if we know what is on your mind or not. But this goes both ways.

[@nickthequick]

Or imagine you noticing that she is cold and offering your jacket to her spontaneously. That would make you look like you pay attention and you care. But I guess you'd be looking at your phone ...

[@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13]

[@jzero3977]

The thing I find completely annoying is when me and someone are having decent conversations and as soon as I ask her out she ghosts me even though I didn't even mentioned my ideas. Or she leads me on to something then says that she's not interested. It's so frustrating cause they way that I'm getting tested comes off as Uncleared, Indirect or that I have to guess everything or ask this or that the right way. I don't think woman should test men period. Only if it's playfully or if it has a healthy purpose.

[@terrytari1891]

When I was 20 years old, a young woman told me to carry her bags. I told her no. After we finished the date. She told me I was the meanest man in the world. I told her that I was sorry. I apologized & she seemed ok. I think she was ok, because we had a good time. We danced & had dinner. After the bag situation, I opened up the car doors. At that time, it was a time that girls & young women didn't want men to help them, even when the men tried to help them. At that time, it was called Women Liberation, Women older than me loved it when I open the doors & paid the bills, What helped me at that time is that girls & women told me that I was handsome, and I had a nice body (slim & lean, & I still am now). Courtney, I dated pretty & sweet girls, like you.

10:49 Courtney, I have a story a bit similar to what you said. I signed up for a dating app just to test the environment there. I decided to put up a few gym selfies, one in a tank top, one shirtless with boxing gloves and a portrait. So in the tank top pic I am smiling, showing my teeth. A woman on the app responded by saying _you look constipated in that picture._ I take it as a joke, even though it's rude, or a back-handed compliment at best, and go along by saying _I usual am (constipated) but I have been detoxing lately so it's no longer a problem. She then responds by referring to my boxing pic by saying _why do you have your shirt off, this isn't porn._ At that point, I am annoyed so I return her message with _I'm sorry, I will dress like a monk for now on._ Her, thinking she's effectively flirting sends a response saying, _I am sure you get lots of women dm'ing you, especially for the _*_constipation picture_*_ here's my number (and gives me her phone number)._ I basically ignored her and moved on. Joking is okay but do a better job and don't constantly make back-handed compliments to someone you're trying to get to know.

Had to jump in and comment. Got shoved down the Courtney Rabbit Hole by the YT algorithm, and I have been genuinely been hearing things that are a breath of fresh air from a woman’s perspective. I’ve been married 8 years now, and even a few of these things my wife does on a regular basis. And it’s INFURIATING. I don’t need to be constantly tested, I need you to be honest and open and normal. Ladies, just because you play games and have deep thoughts about everything, doesn’t mean guys do, or that we even like to play them.

[@JohnEdge]

My first spontaneous "Date" was after work for both of us. She already implied to be very independent, but also was realistic enough to go half and half. She said she had a bad experience when another guy lost it, for her offering to pay the whole meal. Where we just had an agreed system. I pay for coffee, she paid for lunch, i paid for the movie. Like a solid relationship, was already years in. And we both enjoyed being already in agreement when it came to the dates. My date and I also kept tabs, of "Did you make it home okay?" or "let me know when you get home safe" simple and to the point. It also gives you the protection feel & at least you both know you both care enough to want to know.

Jealousy is such a powerful emotion. If a girl is doing a jealousy test on me, I would pass it, but she will no longer be a consideration.

Telling a guy that he's not muscular enough is like telling a girl that she's not skinny enough... Except it's ways easier to be skinny than muscular 😅

Who in their right mind would wanna longterm date a chick who's so 'diabolical' as Courtney put it? I literally could not care how good looking they are if they are like the chick in the TikTok.

[@LatimusChadimus]

Well some men do grow up with trauma from abusive parents, even a single mother can abuse her son, and they will always end up being pursued by an abusive narcissist and basically just accept it because they don't understand any other version of attention

[@podbeetle]

@@LatimusChadimus Yeah that's a good point. If you haven't been able to process that abuse from your younger years and get past it properly, you will fall into people pleasing and accepting the toxic behaviour or disrespect from the girl becsuse 1. It feels familiar, and 2. You don't have enough self-esteem to feel like you deserve better and walk away from it, and maybe even 3. You have stronger emotional needs because of the instability in your childhood.

[@chrislong8559]

The pullback test is prolly the most used and alot of men fail it. I did quite a few times in the past. Most women do it subconsciously but some on purpose. Everything is going fine or is very intense in the beginning and then out of nowhere you barely hear from her. They do this to see how emotionally mature a man is. To see if he freaks out and blows her phone up, or is acting needy or aggressive. Best thing to do is act non chalant, any emotional response will kill your chances. Sometimes they do it just to access how they truly feel about you and how the relationship or current dating status is going with you. Doube triple texting asking what's up, or why her rate of communicating seems off lately is common mistakes or even playing the ignoring game back.
