MY BOYFRIEND PUTS ME DOWN. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Guys get confused as to how to show a girl that they like her. When I was younger, I thought the way to accomplish this was to act like you didn’t like her. Picture me pelting a girl in the face point-blank during a gym class dodgeball game. Needless to say, the message didn’t translate.
From what I've heard that's typical behavior for 3rd graders, but beware if an older guy uses that method to show you that he likes you. (Now you would obviously be alarmed if a guy started chucking dodge balls at your face) But some guys use verbal put-down methods to manipulate girls. Some girls believe that they must then work to gain the guy's approval.
I saw an interview with a gorilla pimp (a man who uses physical aggression to manipulate women to work as prostitutes). He said he treats the girls badly and they, in turn, work to gain his approval. He said many girls grow up in environments where they were treated badly, so it's almost like normal to them.
Beware of anyone who attempts to manipulate you by putting you down. This is a red flag! Dump the chump immediately.
