There is some wisdom in knowing the game being played by a girl or guy who plays it first on you. I would call the response setting boundaries, self respect, and not being tricked. There's no honor in the game especially when you target someone you think is weaker and easily manipulated.

Maybe you should explain the game you are playing. I certainly would not teach anyone relationship tricks when their purpose is to use and deceive. If your game is to care about people more, help them make their own free choices, show them how they are valuable in themselves, that would be a good game.

But all I hear are comments about how you don't care about anyone but yourself.

I'm not gonna lie, once that spark is gone... it's kinda lost forever; I don't really care about people in these situations, would a caring thought ease their pain? Would me being close to them while telling them to basically get lost be more, or less, beneficial to them?

I'd say if they need to hate me to get over me/it, cool, whatever works. I can't feign love, simply cannot do it; so when I said that I love Sieben, for instance, I actually, truly, mean that. So I won't even try to feign that kind of love or caring for people whom aren't going to take it that way, believe me, even when I tried to say we'd be better friends they'd sometimes go crazy and get all super depressed (don't need or want that kind of experience multiple times).

Learned it the hard way, but glad that I did.

No, but sparing some basic human dignity and empathy (which we talked about in another thread) would be great. A novel idea, I know.

Hey now... I never did anything until somebody tried to make me out to be the worst thing ever, and I believe if you're gonna start putting things on the table like that, well, then I deserve the response as well.

you said it yourself. you don't care. your concern in ending things is still about how you can best manipulate someone to your own goal--whcih is no different from the beginning. the so called love or spark was just about you. it was never an experience of real love or intimacy.

No, I'm talking about how you said you don't care about people in those situations. That's a pretty big statement don't you think?

I agree, once that spark is gone, it's gone... I've lost interest. The tenderness I may have had is completely out the window, now I've merely gotta get out and find the right girl whom would be worthy of it.

Should I have dragged it on for a few more days, showing less and less interest until they go insane trying to figure out what they did wrong!? Or, like stitches, just get it over with? I'll always choose the latter.

You must not think I've tried... how did you and I stop talking to each other Sarah? We just sort of stopped talking, I was with Robyna right after that...

Honestly, the only time I ever made any crushing blows was when these girls threw fits and started calling me out... so, like you said about respect, I simply gave back what I was getting.

that is still about you manipulating them.

Of course I am, I am definitely going to use my abilities to talk to women to get them to let their guard down so we can actually talk to each other without all the barriers; I like to be comfortable when talking to women, and I presume other people like to be comfortable when talking to me.

Because I wanted to know more about them to see whether or not I wanted a relationship is a bad thing? Pft, please.
