Re: Re: How does a man take disrespect like THIS?
She's not trash as others would suggest, she's simply a normal, confused, female. This does not excuse her behaviour. It was a childish way of doing things and you reacted perfectly. Dont let her comments get to you, they were not meant to be serious, just a cheap shot in a moment of emotion. Get used to it, that's how chicks are (some more than others, mind you)
I agree with this but I would qualify it and say she's "probably" not trash as others would suggest. Only you can be sure of that. Love can be blind though. If she pulls sh!t like this often, then you should probably find someone else.
Also, don't let her comments get to you. I can tell by your words that they ruffled your ego a bit. Many women know that a penis is a symbol of manhood and sometimes an emotional weak-point for men. Often, they use this to lash out. How many times (on TV or in life) have you heard a dumped woman insult the penis of her EX? She doesn't give a sh!t about it, she's just attacking a symbol of his manhood.
The fact that this woman strongly wants to marry you should be all the justification you need that you are desirable. So don't forget that. If she acts up, use her desire to marry you as motivation. Think, "She wanted to marry me badly. She's not so much different than the average women (by definition of the word "average") so there are many other women who will want me just as much if not more than her."

Always forgive. But NEVER forget.
When she starts playing that, "Well I could get OTHER men any time I want" trying to pressure you into marriage, FLIP the game on her!
Great advice. Whenever someone acts out of line (be it a woman or a male friend) you HAVE TO check them on it. When it's youre woman, it's more serious because your relationship is deeper. In this situation, you have to make SURE that she will never try to pull that sh!t again.
You've already done a great job at handling the situation BUT DON'T give up your chance to check her. Like squirrels said, you have a good chance to flip it back in her face. For instance, IF SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND, HOW THE FVCK DOES SHE KNOW THE SIZE OF THESE OTHER MEN'S ****S? That's not a question you're worried about (because you know she was just saying it out of anger) but you should play it up like it's a HUGE problem.
Basically, you want to highlight, underline, bold and fvcking underscore everything that was WRONG with what she said. Personally, I like to add a general feeling of loss . . . like something has changed for the worse since she's made that comment. It could be something small like, "you know, I was taking these massage classes and I really wanted to help you relax after work but now I just don't feel motivated, you know, after that incident you pulled, I went ahead and cancelled." Or something huge like your general opinion of her has declined.
Make her feel like her actions had a price. Don't lie though. It has to be a real price (in the above example, she would have to know about the classes you were taking and have been looking forward to you giving her massages).
