How to tell if your are dating a user or manipulator

This video is all about how to tell if you are dating a user or manipulator. I talk about how what happens when a guy is using you and trying to exploit your good nature and need for love. Don’t let these guys turn your need for love and to love against you. Make smart decisions and let the new guy in his life handle his own problems. If you want to know if he’s s playing you or using you this is the right channel. Don’t date narcissistic men who only see you as a resource.

Now, of course, anyone can meet a bum and get involved with a bum, but a woman with self love and a good sense of self is not staying in the situation for long.

They might pretend they care while doing one thing for you everyday. For example - paying for coffee at the cafeteria. But turn cold, non talkative if you reject their sexual advances, so they won't talk until you start cuddling them etc. That's the way where you might not notice it straight away, also users don't ask lots of questions don't show much emotion if something happens in your life, because they don't care, they will talk more or sit in silence just to make you to make the first move and ask fr his attention.

For years I thought my ex was a "sociopath" because I thought there was no way someone could show the level of disrespect for someone (me) who literally put every single need of their own behind them to appease the person they were with (him). Until I realized that some people are just bad people, who latch on to a weak host like a bacterium and corrode everything within that person until there's nothing left. That doesn't take a sociopath or a narcissist or a psychopath. That only takes someone with low self esteem, and the other who latches on to it to further themselves. Needless to say, I've gained self respect and put up boundaries and those types of men don't come through my walls anymore (pun very much intended). Thank you.

@chelsieromero4874 4 жыл бұрын

The scary types are the abusive types right? Users, manipulators, players, and abusers use flattery to get a woman. Meaning they tell you all what you want to hear, but it is deceptive. Real men or good guys who are genuine will never use flattery to get you. They will however compliment you after some time into the relationship after getting to know you and especially if they are serious about you. Using flattery and complimenting a woman are similar as flattery is also complimenting, but from a dishonest perspective. Complimenting a woman is genuine and honest. Also a man who uses flattery will almost always compliment you on the physical, for example; they will use words like sexy, sweet, perfect, I will do anything for you, You're the best thing that has ever happened to me or No one was ever good like you. Usually comparing you to other women or his ex/exes etc. They use flattery very early on in a relationship often before they have gotten to know you properly. A man complimenting on the other hand don't focus so much on the physical. For example; I like your smile, I had a wonderful time with you today would you like to spend some time together again, I would love to get to know you better etc. They usually compliment further down into the relationship when they are starting to get serious about you and starting to decide if you may be the one for him.

Ronee Ro I see. I don't believe in the 50/50 in the sense that some people believe anyway, I think it's mainly bs. What does "50/50" mean to you? I guess you two mean that he also wants you to commit, though he doesn't?

So true, ladies! Like Kev said the guy started that way (a user) -- we just didn't notice it. For example: this dude has been pursuing me for years. We finally spoke on the phone. Our first conversation he wants me to help him eat healthier because I already eat healthy. He said to me, "see I'm eating healthy so you'll be proud of me" I thought to myself. What??!! He assigned me as his nutritionist and I didn't even apply for that role. We never met in person. I felt like a mother chatting with him. I want to attract a partner. Not a son. Onward upwards.

Perfectly said Kev. For years I had to wade through pools of men looking for girlfriend mamas to support them. I saw my sisters and niece struggle with the same thing, dealing with men who were looking for women with jobs and money or with daddies who they thought had money enough to support him. Often there were families behind the man looking to unload him on a woman who would take him in and support him or count on the daddy to support him if the woman couldn't do it. This is very messy. Best thing for a woman to do is wake up and realize that she is not any man's mama.

2:43 agreed. It really is that simple. I adore a man that asks me if there is anything he can do for me. Big or small, I always see that as love. Women need to share this video. You can't fix a broken man, only he can fix himself. What you said Kev at the end resonates with me. That encapsulates my definition of a user (whether it is a woman or man). If you're used to helping someone and you stop for awhile, if they react in a negative way because you stopped supporting them....that is a user. But someone who you give to, reciprocates in any way they can...that's a good person. I have given money and material things to friends and family that in return give me something far more important and tangible....their time, support, love and advice.

The easiest way to tell if you're dating a user or a manipulator is when they violate your boundaries. This guy I work with came on to me. He didn't really like me but he tried to get me to have a thing for him because his motive was to get free secretarial work out of me. I set him straight by telling him that I don't work for him. I also said that I don't know what his motive was but if it was sex, I'll admit it, I thought about it but nah, that would be like putting someone behind the wheel of a Ferrari who didn't know how to drive. I'm way too intense and freaky with an appetite for oral to be bothered with someone who doesn't look like they have much to offer 😉. I don't work for this man so he can't get me for sexual harrassment. I chose my words wisely. In other words, I was building myself up while tearing down his manhood. NOBODY disrespects me and tries to play me as a fool.
