I don't understand why guys need to verbalize their boundaries to women. Women know what's acceptable in a long term relationship... Signing all these verbal contracts with each other and expecting her to honor them as one of your male friends would is stupid. Let me say this again: Woman know what is acceptable in a long-term relationship! Nothing you listed is anything abnormal... That's not even the biggest problem with boundaries! The biggest problem is that 99% of the guys who set them - WILL NOT have the balls to follow through with breaking up with her if she crosses them!!! They will instead have discussions with her (about how she crossed his boundary and how he wants reassurance it won't happen again! blah blah blah)........... which are ultimately pointless and make the guy look weak!crashdietguy said:So bukowski_merit, what should I do? I laid down some boundaries early on in our relatationship: if she flirts "over the top", kisses, has sex, "hangs out" or go on a date with another guy, I'm gone. She has not crossed these boundaries. She is a sweet girl (yes I guess I'm naive) but I guess all girls/women fantasize about being sluts, the way you guys talk. I'm a believer in experience, but are really ALL women dirty sluts?
I told you the 2 options earlier. I'd add that you should seriously always have other options waiting in the wings (you don't have to cheat with them; but just have them there.)crashdietguy said:What should I do the next time she tells me something like this?
I was playing with you man.Someone Much cooler said:bukowski_merit-
Outdated? According to whom, the latest rick ross album? Listen I march to the beat of my own drum, I talk how I talk not what the latest trends say. I grew up phili-an that how ill keep it.
You're not getting the concept of why this is terrible advice! It's because "Picking and choosing" who you're going to play "tough guy" with is weak. You're giving him advice based on your perception that this guy SOUNDS LIKE someone who OP can b!tch out.Someone Much cooler said:1st. WTF are u talking about “Street Clout”? Stick to the relevant topic, which is a reg HS teen asking advice/venting about his HS girl getting pressed by a guy in dance class?? Lol he said ole boy was in dance class and plays the guitar, doesnt sound like a real goon. I think the op is safe to stand up to the guy, i dont think the guy is strapped. No guns involved Malibu’s most wanted. Relax ur drawlin.
You misunderstood what i meant by "protecting your ego" - that's not a good thing, and not the same as protecting your "pride!" The @ss smacking guy is not at fault here! The woman does not dislike it!Someone Much cooler said:2nd The 1st point you made about not fighting over anyone not blood was pointless because you later acknowledged that this wasn’t the case for the OP, since he would actually be fighting and protecting his pride.
If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.
I WAS playing with you... See: Busting your balls. I saw someone on here using language i hadn't heard in a while. It amused me. It appears you can't handle it though - so i'll stop (now tell me how that's insulting you as well... idc but am done with talking about it).Someone Much cooler said:You say relax-you were play but you werent you were passively insulting the way i speak and express myself. "I speak the dun language-and then i grew up" lol that like when ppl text you something hurtful and then try ad soften the blow by adding lol @ the end.
For future reference - don't say something like this and then address every point someone makes... It doesn't make a lot of sense.Someone Much cooler said:Ack i didnt even read your post. I'm not online to bickering/debate.
Picking and choosing who you act tough to is weak and shows it's just a facade.Someone Much cooler said:its not playing tough guy, its called a pep talk. Its reasonable for a guy to stand up for himself, but you mentioned drug dealers and someone dying. Of course if the guy could have a weapon dont mouth off. Picking and chosing your battles is smart, i dont care how hard you are.
It matters what she thinks; because if you have such an incongruence in your make up - she will notice it and ALL other women will notice it that you are with. Your OWN EGO will notice it as well; and likely beat yourself up over not acting whenever you back down (which can lead to you NOT backing down next time).Someone Much cooler said:I said also it doesnt matter how its seen to her (most likely cause they wont still be together).
Defend yourself from what? "Disrespect"?Someone Much cooler said:Its most normal organisms nature to defend itself if possible.
We're talking about if "talking" to the guy who's doing the @ss smacking has any merit or not! The benefits vs. the consequences of doing something like that. Since it is an actual suggested solution to the OP's question - it's therefore worthy of being dissected and discussed further in this thread. Same with any other suggested method of dealing with this situation.Thundernuts said:Someone Much cooler
bukowski Merit,
Can we please stop, you guys are taking over thsi kids thread and to be honest it's making it difficult to sort through all your guy's crap, seriously knock if off you two look like two high school boys about to get into a scrap
Hey man i believe fighting is just dumb its just who can sink lowerbukowski_merit said:We're talking about if "talking" to the guy who's doing the @ss smacking has any merit or not!

Maybe me playing with him about the slang he was using was unneeded, but the rest of the conversation - is relevant to the topic at hand.
If you don't think so - - - you're wrong.
Thanks.
answer these if u can (HAHA)Someone Much cooler said:You say relax-you were play but you werent you were passively insulting the way i speak and express myself.

In the ass slapping scerario even if the lil sis does like it, i still wouldnt allow someone to slap my lil sis ass in front of me.
I said also it doesnt matter how its seen to her (most likely cause they wont still be together). Its most normal organisms nature to defend itself if possible.
Real life (not an extreme scenario)1
-I'm in taco bell wit my hot blonde cheerleader Gf from a competing HS.
-3 guys from her school enter, guy 1 knows her, flirts with her and touches her hair in front of me.
-I was wearing glasses that day so i looked soft. They were HS students and i knew it would be a fair fight. I told her to wait in line.
-the 3 guys dapped each other on how they disrespected the "nerd" as they sat down .
-As I approached the guy I took my glasses off and told him if he ever touched my chick again i was gonna stomp his teeth smooth out of his head. Then i picked his taco up took a bite, knocked the rest of his food in has lap.
-his boy said calm down and i said wats good we can all mix it up. Our order cam and me and shawti left as i grilled the other guys.
Real life (not an extreme scenario)2
-I was leaving a blockbuster wit my girl(same) and some guy started shouting dirty things about my gfs ass.
-I gave her the key and said wait in the car.
-i started walking over to the guy until i saw him reach in his waist band and pull out a revolver. It coulda been fake but it wasnt worth rolling the dice to find out.
-I took myself back into the car and went home.
Probably should have rephrased what i wrote , i was just begginning to notice you two spent more time arguing whos right and whos wrong, makes it hard to see the advice.bukowski_merit said:Maybe me playing with him about the slang he was using was unneeded, but the rest of the conversation - is relevant to the topic at hand.

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

Oops....wrong thread. Haha meant to respond to thisFutureSpartan said:OP...another man inappropriately touching your GF is disrespectful. If it was an innocent hug or light kiss on the cheek I would not make an issue of it....friends do that stuff all the time. But her "gay" friend crossed the line.
NEVER let another man get away with touching your girlfriend inappropriately. Your response would have been to immediately walk up to the guy, look him straight in the eye and calmly and firmly,
"Look man, I don't know you but I don't appreciate you groping my gf"
No need to get angry/emotional. Just assert yourself.
Its not an issue of jealousy or insecurity. This is about respect for boundaries. She may not have been uncomfortable about it but you were. You can't let these things slide by because if you don't set the ground rules now then she will continue testing your limits to the point where she will lose respect for you as a man.
She may flirt with other guys or even cheat on you behind your back but the difference is she is 100% accountable for her actions due to you not being there. When these sort of things happen in your presence, you have a responsibility to not let this kind of disrespect slide by without at least asserting yourself. She may get pissed off and you might even lose her, but at least you won't lose your dignity or your standards of how your girl should behave around you.
Did you happen to miss the advice falcon gave you or did you just ignore it? Why are you verbalizing to her?crashdietguy said:Update:
My GF slept over at my place this weekend, and while we talked I casually brought up that "other guys are gonna hit on you, and you're a big girl and it's your job to turn them down, to tell them to back off."
Yeah she's so awesome and sweet she doesn't flirt she just lets guys touch her ass and boobs and doesn't do anything about it. Then she goes on and checks out every picture on that guy's facebookShe's awesome and sweet, and I really like her and couldn't imagine her flirting around with other guys
pipe007 said:lets get real now
all you toughies out there who say you would go straight up to the guy who is "disrespecting" your girl who seems to enjoy it
in psychology this is call displacement, you are too scared to take it on the object at fault (your girl) and you will take it up by blaming an outside source, a stranger guy.....
you are not dealing with the issue, your girl, because deep down you are insecure that she enjoys it, or she is causing it, and your AFC idealizing her.. thinking oh no... its gotta be these bad guys out there
get real!!, guys only go as far as a girl will allow him too.... FACT! unless she is retarded or brain damaged... or Low self esteem...
OP said his girl has a temper and will not put up with B.S from others.
fact is that she is at fault for allowing it to happen, and second for bringing it up to his boyfriend.
if my girl were to tell me this, I would laugh and look at her and say "wow, I thought you were different" and shook my head in dissapointment, leave, and dont answer the phone for a week or two... let her cry and beg.
in this situation.. its HER FAULT!
guys will always be guys, and some of them will hit on your girl, this is where you see if you have a quality girl or not, and OP has pure trash!
