Don’t try to spin the truth. My point was clear from the outset: butthurt men ignore women. It’s a low class way of dealing with the situation.
No it isn't.
Law 36: Disdain things you cannot have, Ignoring them is the best revenge
You choose to let things bother you. You can just as easily choose, not to notice the irritating offender, to consider the matter trivial and unworthy of your interest.
This is the powerful move. What you do not react to cannot drag you down in a futile engagement. Your pride is not involved.
The best lesson you can teach an irritating gnat is to consign it to oblivion by ignoring it.
You are the king, and you ignore what offends you.
You should take very few grievances to heart, for to do so is to give yourself groundless worry...
Many things which seem important [at the time] turn out to be of no account when they are ignored; and others which seem trifling, appear formindable when you pay attention to them
Desire often creates paradoxical effects. The more you want something, the more you chase after it, the more it eludes you. The more interest you show,the more you repel the object of your desire. This is because your interest is too strong - it makes people awkward, even fearful. Uncontrollale desire, makes you seem weak, unworthy, pathetic.
Contempt is the perogatvie of the king. Where his eyes turn, what he decides to see, is what has reality; what he ignores and turns his back on is as good as dead.
If choosing to ignore someone enhances your power, it follows that the opposite approach - commitment and engagement - often weakens you.
One man tries with all his might to seize the goddess, and only loses his time and his trouble. Another seems, to all appearance, to be running out of sight:
but, no: she herself takes a pleasure in pursuing him.
Instead of inadvertendly focusing attention on a problem, making it seem worse by publicizing how much concern and anxiety it is causing you, it is often far wiser to play the contemptuous aristocrat, not deigning to acknowledge the problem's existence.
Remember: the powerful response to niggling, petty annoyances and irritations are contempt and disdain. Never show that something has affected you, or that you are offended - that only shows that you have acknowledged a problem. Contempt is a dish which is best served cold and without affection.
