"I'm in a bad mood right now so I might act bratty. May I?" What to response?

[Fela Kuti]

Hi,

What to response/do when your gf says something like this: "I'm in a bad mood right now so I might act bratty. May I?" Is this some kind of sh*t test or what?

Thanks.

Its a **** test and guess a cry for help. No you shouldn't allow her to bratty. But you can always ask her why she in bad mood. going take couple tries but she will eventually tell you. Then she be happy because she talk about it. and you be happy because now she shut up and don't have worry about her being a brat.

"* Don't get angry at her. Women know they have emotional outbursts and they need to trust that you can handle that. It's ok (and necessary) to occasionally put your foot down...just make sure she knows you are fully in control of yourself."

If she TELLS you she may act bratty, full on **** test. Be bratty back and have a full on brat fast in bed.

so should I just say, "no, I won't tolerate bratty behavior. but why are you in a bad mood, though?" ?

You guys really need to stop with this "Sh1t test" thing. Seriously, it's getting old and doesn't even accurately describe most situations, this one included.

It sounds like the girl is trying to be playful. Even if she isn't, why not respond back with "How bratty are we talking?"

Saying something like "no, I won't tolerate bratty behavior." would be a very awkward response.

Yes she was just trying to be funny while at the same time being refreshingly honest.

I'd say just have fun with it. I've had girls tell me that before and they didnt go totally bipolar on me or anything. And I have had girls go totally bipolar on me before so I considered it for a while, remembered the drama then just ignored it and kept things on the up and up. Honestly tho I don't take declarations like that lightly, so I just remind myself it's probably nothing.

Man you have a lot to learn.

How do I have a lot to learn?

I don't have to announce to every single girl that I'm not going to put up with a "sh1t test". You're probably one of those nerds who's been brainwashed into thinking that girls are walking all over you, if when they aren't. It's been ingrained in your mind for so long you've probably lost all touch with reality. Guys like that naturally take a defensive position when interacting with women and it's very obvious.

Depending on my mood and how well i know the girl i might say one of these 2 things.

1: No you may not act bratty.

2: Why do you feel like acting bratty?

This is overanalysis imho. shoulda been resolved already.

"I'm in a bad mood right now so I might act bratty. May I?"

"Sure thing, sweetheart! Just do me a favor. Wait until I drop you off at home, cool?"

When being shit-tested, always Agree & Amplify, my friend.

 

[Beowolf]

Sure thing sweetheart do you want a pacifier or a spanking lol!

"You may not, woman! Now BOW BEFORE THE MAN!"

Now hear me out on this one. This is a personal philosophy of mine I sometimes apply to stupid crap like this. I call it my "word is born" philosophy. What is basically is is the fact that if you just kind of ignore something and dont make a "thing" out of it it is more likely to dissapear or change. So in this case where she is announcing her intentions of being bratty don't challenge it and make a "thing" out of it. Just kinda brush it off and ignore it. She'll prolly forget that she was trying to be bratty anyways if you change the subject fast enough. And keep her entertained with other stuff. But if you challenge her its a different thing altogether.

She's testing him to see if he would put up with her BS. Go ahead and try and demean me with your feminist integrated no balls mindset the US enforces on the youth of today; using "nerd" like it’s a bad thing is so juvenile... go ahead and say it all you want as I know it’s not your fault you were brainwashed to thinking guys are suppose to put up with this "playful" attitude as you put it when in reality it’s a girl pushing boundaries to see how far she can push him to know how much control she can have.

Also I'd love for you to point out where I'm being "defensive." Only one that is defensive here seems to be you with your calling people "nerds" and "out of touch with reality" when in fact it really seems to not be the case on my end considering the vein of info on this site. Someone else however... an easier case can be made.

I have a question to you if you care to answer me; were you brought up in a matriarchal household, taught by mostly female teachers or dated a woman that called the shots in your relationships? Judging by your post a case can be made…. and it sounds like you need to get some ointment for those whip marks from the p***y that girl/woman used on you to have this mindset of thinking this should be tolerated. Why should a Man tolerate childish behavior? Why shouldn't a Man be able to enjoy a life not filled with this kind of testing?

Please do yourself and everyone a favor and wake up from your indoctrination into acceptance of how woman "should be" by those overbearing women in your life. I was like you once and then life finally showed me reality when I hit the real world outside of my parent's home and the US. I toured the world for a few years and noticed how the US has some of the most anti-men laws on the books outside of the UK in my experiences and how women think they can walk on you/are entitled to stuff just because and you need to accept it since how else will you get the keys to a vagina?

Wake up man before its too late.

This is a good way to **** this situation up. It is not good to 'tolerate bratty behaviour', but equally bad to reveal that you are trying too hard. Doing neither of these things is a good decision.

'No' is a nice playful response. Spanking threats is also good, unless you have been making too many jokes recently and are beginning to try too hard.

 

[n00bPimp]

I spank bratty girls

Good way to **** it up? Are you living in America where the BMI of the average girl is over 25? Only way you can **** it up is if you go for the BBW crowd.

Dude, spare me the pseudo psychology. You're the prototypical poster boy for the unpopular kid in high school who got trampled by everyone, didn't get any play, and now you're hell-bent on proving something to these girls. Look at how much you overreacted in this situation with that text. The girl said she was being "bratty". Did you ever, for a moment, think she was possibly trying to be playful, or flirty? No. It never occurred to you. You're so used to be hurt, rejected and dismissed by girls you're trying to put on a front. I'm going out on a limb here (not a very long one) and going to say you're either a virgin, or you've had a couple close calls. Guys who get laid aren't worrying every two seconds if they're being sh!t tested. We don't care. Stop being so paranoid. Stop thinking everyone is out to get you. Go with the flow... go. with. the. flow.

You probably would have did what the OP was going to: No, I won't tolerate bratty behavior.

Wow, good job. Real witty. You really showed her, stretch!
