Noticed this comment on a very recent Heartiste article:
Unintentionally Funny Comment
The guy is quoting a former rotation girl who wrote to him about their failed relationship. Guy is framing this as "hah, look at that hamster spin", but her words belie the cringe-worthiness of our "Nouveau-Red" commenter's transparent "anger phase".
He says:
She says:
Focus on the VIBE she is feeling from him. Something tells me she's not fronting on this regard. Of course, who knows what she's really like, but the incongruence this guy displayed, as well as the transparent anger, is a real turn-off to women.
This speaks to some of jariel's posts about real versus fake players. This guy thinks he's a player, "no girlfriends for me!", has a rotation, yet clearly he's still stuck using his "good boyfriend" toolbox to keep a broad around.
What really leapt out at me is his pre-gig "girlfriend pep-talk". That "bout to go on stage" hype burned a hole through his player-ozone-layer and he reverted to the "boyfriend toolbox" before coming down to earth and backtracking.
Why couldn't he contain his excitement and say nothing or a simple "glad you're here, kid!", if he wants her to be a plate?
Be honest with yourself about what you want. Want to play? Then hold the cuff-y thoughts in. She's already around so you don't need to lure her with promises. Want to cuff? Show her, don't tell her. Or tell her but stick to it.
This guy didn't know (or accept) what he wanted, and didn't understand how to signal it. He fell into the classic non-player boyfriend-signaling ways (aka the "boyfriend toolbox") and that wasn't consistent with him trying to talk like she's a plate later on.
Furthermore, he serves as a warning. If you're playing out of anger/resentment, it will seep through your pores, words, and actions. If you're playing out of love/positivity/fun, whether cuffing or not, it will shine through.
Have you ever witnessed a guy exuding this "nouveau-red" vibe? Have you ever exuded it? It's most damaging in a situation with an actually-sweet-and-demure girl. It's part of the over-compensation most newcomers experience.

Real-time hamster fodder….

“The reason I was so pissed off is;
1. The way you pep talked me about my gf status before your gig and then when I explained to you over dinner at the restaurant how people were introducing me as your gf… I said it would look weird if I corrected them and you so generously agreed to let me be your girlfriend… But only for the night…. Your exact words?..wtf ? Like I’m some ugly or disgusting person or just some one to use. Do you know how degrading that was to say that to me?
2. You harped on about how women are liars and the opportunists…
… And then after 6 months of me feeling so sad for the fact that you didn’t trust women cause maybe you’d been hurt so bad I find out that I was indeed YOUR unknowing victim of the very thing you accuse women of doing.
[...edited for brevity...]
I’m beginning to think either you don’t know yourself very well or I’m too smart a woman for you.”
