Dealing With Controlling Women

While men are often guilty of being controlling in a relationship, their are a great deal of men who feel controlled by their overpowering women. Controlling Women believe that men and relationships should run no way but their way and will even convince their men that it's for their own good. Many men find themselves at the complete mercy of their women -- and do nothing about it!

So, how do you know if you have a controlling woman? Some of the traits of a controlling woman are controlling conversations, attempting to prove you wrong and constantly attempting to rewrite past events to make their point. These dictators break down a man's confidence in himself little by little until the man begins to believe he is nothing without her. They must be right at all times and use a great deal of coercion and intimidation to force you into agreeing with them, i.e. threatening to leave you if you don't do as she says.

With these drama queens, you will constantly find yourself on the defensive, having to explain all your actions and words. Controlling women will take full control of how you furnish and decorate your home. She will demand that you drop your hobbies and participate in her activities. They will make you wait, but will not wait for you.

A controlling woman will tell you when you can go out, when you can invite the guys over to watch the game and will even call you 10-15 times per day to keep track on what you're doing, who you're with and where you're going next with each call. These bossy women are manipulative and intimidating. They are often so good at this that they can make the man feel he is the one responsible for making her angry or upset. Controlling women believe that they know what's best for their men and will begin selecting the clothes you wear, choosing what movies you'll watch and deciding what you should or shouldn't eat.

These women are never wrong, and everything is always the man's fault. These women control men by shaming them for their thoughts, actions, every time you voice an opinion and will never try to understand your views. They will tell you that you're spending too much money and will eventually become in complete control of your pay check. These women will encourage you to not work as much and will even go as far as to encourage you to quit your job so you can spend more time with them.

Controlling women are in a much larger power struggle within themselves than they are with the men they boss around. Often, men will allow these controlling behaviors to "keep the peace" in their relationships. But, you must remember--love does not mean that you have to give up your opinions, values and friends for her. Love also doesn't mean that you have to let manipulative women make every decision in your life.

Do you have a hard time remembering the last time you had an opinion? Do you recall your last decision? If you're in this situation, it may be time to for you to reconsider your relationship and regain control of your life unless you like having your life ran for you and your opinions made by someone else.

She Likes To Party Without You

One of the keys to a happy relationship is embracing your girlfriend’s circle of friends and accepting them for all their many quirks. But what happens when your girlfriend loves to party with her friends far more than she wants to spend time with you?

All women have a group of friends, but in this type of relationship, fun time with their girlfriends take priority over you. If you want some alone time and the girls want to go to out, you lose. This type of woman can’t figure out why you would be upset being alone at the house waiting up for her while she is out partying all night with women at bars, drinking herself into a stupor. Instinctively, guys wanting a serious relationship seek out more normal, down-to-earth women, especially when thinking of marriage and children and don't find this behavior sexy among women.

If you're looking for a serious relationship with a woman with wife material, avoiding this type of woman would be in your best interest. They don't settle down comfortably and rarely find themselves in good relationships.

Dating Club Girls

Club girls are nothing more than fantasy women whom every man lusts after. They have beautiful faces with full lips, big doe eyes, great legs, and all the curves you could ever ask for. The problem in dating these women is that they love to wear clothes that also show off her great assets not just to you, but to every Tom, Dick and Harry on the street.

These are the party girls that you see in the clubs with a different guy every night in short skirts dancing to the latest sexually charged song with their hands on the floor and butts in the air showing everyone what God gave them.

While some of these women at clubs say they're “just having a good time”, a man seeking a serious relationship would have to question women who allow complete strangers to come up behind them and grind their privates with only a thong separating it from being intercourse. These women are more than likely to hang around in the clubs without you and act like they're single for the most part. They don’t just demand a large amount of attention from you, but they seek it from other men as well.

Another problem with dating club girls is dealing with the countless amounts of men that will stare when the both of you go out in public. One man is never going to be sufficient for this type of woman. You can tell this type of woman how much you love her and how gorgeous she is, but in her mind your compliments rate right up there with stares from strangers.

While some guys like to go out and find women like this, keep in mind that club girls are simply booty call material and they definitely do not show any of the traits that makes a woman marriage material.

Dating Women With Emotional Baggage

Women with emotional baggage are those who have been repeatedly hurt and stomped on by men. No matter what the cause, the romantic lives of the these women are dictated by their damaged psychology. They live in worlds of chaotic emotion where logic has no place and they carry that psychological damage and unresolved anger into new relationships.

These women are angry at men in general and their entire mental stability rests on the guy being totally normal, which we aren’t. Sometimes they are still feeling the effects of a nasty break-up, a recent negative experience with a man or sometimes the aftermath of being physically abused.

Some of the signs of emotional baggage include women getting paranoid about every aspect of a new relationship, i.e. every night you don’t call or you saying something a little off beat is received as threatening to her sanity. Everything must be in perfect line to not upset her delicate emotional balance. If another woman calls you on the phone, even if it’s your boss or a relative, she loses it, and goes into the grand questioning.

With women like this, it's always one step forward and 20 steps back. One day she's your best friend, the next she won't even speak to you. One minute she'll love you and the next she'll be picking fights or screaming at you for some imagined transgression on your part. She'll tell you she loves you and wants to do everything in her power to make sure the relationship lasts.

She will show interest and then suddenly and inexplicably become unavailable and you won't see her again for weeks or even months. When you do see her again, she'll start treating you like crap for no apparent reason. They are used to being around emotionally and physically abusive men--this is why many of these women who date jerks seek out emotionally unavailable men and avoid quality men. The nicer you are, the faster she'll run.

If you decide that she's worth the time and trouble, give her some space and emotional breathing room. These are women in dire need of professional therapy, so remember to be patient, be a good listener and learn to reach her at an emotional level and be the good man that she needs so she will learn to trust men again.

Dating Psychotic Women

The average man will date at least one psychotic woman during his lifetime, and most of those men will go to their graves still shuddering at the memory of such a relationship. The basic behaviors of a psychotic woman are constant temper tantrums, snooping, emotional blackmail. These women carry a tremendous amount of emotional baggage and will do things that are completely crazy, lacking rational thought and take actions with no thought about consequences. They scream and yell and sometimes are even violent and throw or break things.

Sometimes they do outrageous things like vandalize your car, or embarrass or harass you at work. When you finally do break up with them, they may even threaten you or your new girlfriend. You get the idea. These women are just plain crazy --and there is nothing you can do to change them my friend.

Most psychotic women do not appear to be like this right away. Often times it takes many months before their true colors start to show. Watch for early signs of psychosis, especially how she treats other people – as that is one key method for early detection of these combative women. One thing to be careful of -- women who are psychotic are often very passionate in nature and are most likely very good in bed. So when the sex starts off really hot, be extra careful because good sex can mask over a lot of things.

If you’re one of the many men currently trying to escape from the worst relationship of his life, you’re not alone. Your best strategy after you recognize that your woman is a psycho is to cut your losses immediately and get out while you still have your sanity and all your extremities-- hopefully before she gets too attached to you, as that might minimize potential bad behavior that directed toward you. Sure, you can continue dating a this type of woman -- but there will come a time when you may regret it.

How To Handle Running Into An Ex

It's over between you and her. You're both moving on, but sooner or later it's going to happen: You'll bump into an ex-girlfriend. A spur-of-the-moment run-in with your ex can often be an awkward experience, whether or not it’s something you wanted to happen. Sometimes you’re so caught off-guard that you say or do something you end kicking yourself for after she walks away. Here are some tips for how you can better handle running into your ex.


1. Ignore old feelings
When you see your ex walk in the room, take the time to focus on something else before you speak to her. You want to feel normal and at ease or else you may say or do something to make a fool out of yourself. Forget that you once cared for the girl and treat her as just another old distant friend.


2. Be kind to her
Chances are that running into her is not by choice and there are many innocent bystanders around, so force yourself to take the high road and be respectful to her just like you would with anyone else.


3. Keep the conversation short
If you keep things short, there is less time for anything awkward to be said. Say your hellos and avoid the long conversations of catching up. Don’t bring up old issues and don't allow your ex to make you wander down memory lane and re-kindle old times of love and tenderness. There’s no point to it; leave the past in the past. Even if you have lingering questions you'd like answered, you’re probably standing in a place where they're inappropriate to discuss anyway.


4. Bring up good things about your life
You don’t need to brag or throw your new girlfriend in your ex’s face, but you can mention something positive that’s going on in your life. For example, if your ex asks how your life is going, respond with, “It’s going great; I just got a new job, or something along those lines. Just make sure it’s true; otherwise, if you get caught in a lie, it will only make you look foolish.

Although it's always hard to see an ex, remind yourself why things didn’t work out. It is very important to remember that you broke up for a reason. You were not meant to be, so remember what it is that you want to have in your next relationship.
