i know now that i need to improve on assertiveness, sexual arousal, being more dominant, being more secure, more coherent and project a healthy masculine image. in the beginning hypergamy was not existent. she literally told me those things, that i take things too personal, that she wants to be lead, that she wants a man besides her, that she has to be handled, that i'm too full on myself on certain topics (work), that she tested me for my incoherence, at the same time i noticed that she started mirroring some of my good traits, in discussions for example i never lost control of myself and she did too and told me that in her previous relationships the man lost his cool and it devalued him in her eyes, yes she is younger and immature but on this aspect she was always very clear.
she literally told me what to do (last time we saw each other so nothing much i could do at that point) and is in tune with everything pua/manosphere/redpill says. she want a man of power, who can lead and is not worried by **** test. in opposite she put up extremely immature behavior that i couldn't deal with, or wasn't being able to deal with but now i know exactly what i should do to improve myself. most important of all i understand now that looking for motherly love from and showing weakness, or thinking that a woman owe you something because you had a hard life is the wrongest thing to do.
i don't know if you read the quoted part but i'll repost this to give you an idea (my posts in bold):
"She had no respect for you.
First things first, never assume it's her. Always ask yourself how you could have reacted, how you could have done better.
that's a great suggestion. every time we had a conflict i asked to myself how to react in the most mature way that i know. i've always tried to be equilibrate and tried to not get mad with her, and calmly explained what i tolerated and what not.
case in point, one evening we were together, was a great night, we were about to buy some food, we were joking and she said something insulting to me. i told her, calmly, that i didn't accepted that and that i didn't wanted a relationship where one person insult each other. i wasn't angry. she shutted down, stopped talking, cried a little and went into another room and asked for me to drive her home. she was very hurt, even when she did something not good. after a while we reconnected but for me was the first huge red flag.
From what you've said you sound downright depressed, you've put everything on her, expected her to act as you want. You aren't coming from a position of acceptance of yourself, but expecting someone else to fill a hole for you. I mean, cuddling all night? Are you 5?
i know that i have voids and i expect people to fill them. and i know that i was ****ed from the moment i attached to her (around the first month mark), that i was no longer in control of my emotions and weaker. i know that i hav to work on myself.
but at the same time i was seeing a person that in the span of a month went from "i'm a virgin, but we can do other things" -and we did- to "i don't feel to do sexual things every time we meet". i literally don't know how to express dominance outside the bed, and in this situation i felt that i was blocked from seeing this part to her
she told me that with her previous long term bf sometimes they did sexual things once IN A MONTH. she was aware of my need for intimacy, sex, bonding and connection but couldn't even understand it.
the first time we did "sex" together (anal), she wanted to be dominated and spanked. i knew right there that something wasn't right. she wanted the act to be quick. i like to make love for hours.
i make her *** lots of times and after she always told me that she enjoy the act but felt a big emptiness inside after cumming. every time.
can you imagine? one of the first night together i made her orgasm very hard. tongue, biting, fingers in the ass, licking her hips and thighs, she came after oral and fingering, she always had those violent spasm (never saw something like that and i had my share of girls, at least in bed, at least until i attach and become weak) and then..
she just want me to hug her and don't talk.
i was there, with my boner, asking myself what the **** happened. it was an appetizer for me.
multiply the experience in the span of a couple of months. sometimes we did anal, but most of the time she just did handjobs to me, and even worse, every time was me doing something to her OR she doing something to me, NEVER mutual. if the sexual encounters were more than one a week she just pushed me away, telling me that she wasn't in the mood. as far as i know her sexual frequency was always like that. nothing that worked with other girls worked with her.
this chewed my mind and my self esteem. i felt pushed away and not enough. i don't know how a sane man could endure this, even the most alpha one. blue balls everytime and worse than that i promised to myself to not being manipulative and not use jealousy so i wasn't searching for someone else.
The reason she has gone and slept with other guys is because they sexually arouse her, and you didn't. I don't mean to sound insulting, but you sound so feminine and girly, not in the slightest bit alpha.
yes, i know very well that is easy to mask as an alpha and get her ass. the problem is sustaining it. i don't know if there is someone that can "unlock" her and have a normal, healthy, intimate relationship with her.
Yes the girl is a narcissist, all girls are narcissists, because mentally they are children and can only think of self, the way she behaved reacted to YOU, she was a mirror of what you put out to her, and you didn't like what you saw.
from the start i tried to put positive things in our "relationship". no jealousy, no drama, no manipulation.
she told me literally that she expect a man that take care of everything so she can relax and be the child
that she couldn't have been in the past, since she had big problems with her dad. that in her previous relationship her ex bf was insecure too (what a surprise) and wasn't like that. she wants a men that leads her and she wants to be the child that never was, problem is i don't want a child, i want a woman. when first she showed those traits (being childish) i was speechless. it was in strong contrast with everything that i knew about her and i didn't know how to react. i mean ok, she's 22, but some things were things that i expect from a 10 years old.
could you have putted on with all those things, having in exchange a very intelligent girl, but without or very scarce sexual intimacy, attention seeking behavior (she was in contact with lots of orbiters, she always was 100% honest on this but is not a good thing), extreme insecurity that makes her fall for every compliment that she receives and a partner that doesn't understand that relationships are a two way street and she cannot be a princess that has to do absolutely nothing except for physical presence, in addiction to abandonment issues?
Heres what I see:
>You are desperately lonely
>Some young hot 22 year old comes along
>You try to make some sort of soulmate relationship
>You act desperate and beg her for sex
>She reacts by insulting you to test your manliness
>You fail the test
>She loses all attraction to you
>You push and pull for a while
>Break up
an important note: she told me that she had traumatic experiences with her dad. non about physical abuse but more of a distant and rough father. she told me about those experience and she knows that if she can overcome those issues all her relationship problems will go away at some point, and she knows that is not normal to be virgin for a 22 year old and seeking attention in much older guys. but she told me that like a couple of weeks ago. i couldn't understand why she behave in that way without those information. i thought she was an avoidant, but i think there are some big daddy issues here.
Don't worry mate, I've been there, and you need to use this to evolve, don't fall for old 'BPD' stuff, yes there are nutters out there, but most of the time we simply declare a girl BPD to escape from the truth that it was our fault as much as it was hers.
i'm at a point that i had lots of relationships more or less like this. when my weakness shows up the girls lose interest and detach. the only way i can substain a long relationship is if there is less interest in my part (and choosing an emotionally secure partner). it's like when the feelings of insecurity came out i cannot think straight and manage them because they are so strong. i know this is because my dad was an alcoholic and my mom is emotionally close, and i'm trying to get better. i just want some confirmation that i didn't did horribly wrong in this situation and everyone (except for a man with a frame of steel) could have crumbled or bailed out at some point."
add to that my somewhat missing masculine figure (my dad wasn't an alpha at all) and you have the recipe for a disaster. and that's why now i'm trying to overcome things and shape my behavior based on valid role models (the one that psychology gives you just didn't work - openness, communication, vulnerability bites you in the ass if you don't understand male and female roles and what to expect (and not) in a relationship)
