Here are the top 9 reasons that its YOUR fault the relationship didnt work.
Reason 1: You aren’t cool enough.
Guys love cool girls, its probably our favorite characteristic for a girl we want to keep around longer than 2 hours. The problem is, finding one is just as rare as finding a talking blue unicorn. Sure some girls are tolerable, but a colonoscopy is tolerable, we want enjoyable.
A girl that wants to watch football with us is NOT necessary, we are perfectly ok with you being left out of that, but if you do watch and actually watch and care to learn, then that’s an example of cool. If you watch and ask stupid ass questions, talk about anything during the game that isn’t related to football, get up and leave for an hour and come back and ask “what happened while I was gone?” then you are not cool.
Girls, if you are stuck in a situation that isn’t optimal but one you chose to be in with your man, don’t complain, make the best of it. Making the best of it = cool, cool = you get to stay around. If you say “sure I will go to the sporting goods store with you”, then we get there and you bitch about how you are ready to leave, we will leave early just for you, so I can drop your whiney ass off at your house. You are not cool.
If we are all out, its late, you are tired, I am having a blast. If you make sure everyone knows that you don’t want to be there or make a big deal about how we have to go home, then you are not cool. You are tolerable. Guys fuck tolerable girls, we don’t date them long term.
Reason 2: Rush rush rush rush rush to claim him as yours
Question: “Do you think he is seeing anyone else?”
Answer: “Well I hope so, he is a single guy with a lot to offer, of course he is seeing other women. You have known him two weeks, so in two weeks you want him to shut off communication with all other women and be just yours? You just turned into every girl ever, welcome to the club.”
First off, you don’t even know him, how can you be so confident you even want him to be all yours?
Why, because he makes you smile and your belly all tingly when he looks at you? So does a twin pack of twinkies and root beer out of a glass bottle, but you don’t see me trying to marry it. The point is, you aren’t even sure if he is someone you want to be with, so why force him to commit until you know yourself?
Plus, you don’t own him, its none of your business who he is seeing or not seeing, if you try to make it your business you will be put into a crazy category very quickly. That doesn’t mean he wont still call you, because crazy girl sex is great, but he isn’t going to date you.
If he wasn’t dating anyone at all you would think “I wonder whats wrong with him, why isn’t he seeing anyone”, if he is dating multiple girls then you would think “He’s a player”. So he is fucked either way anyway, just chill and see what happens.
You need to worry about 1 thing, that’s YOU. You worry about yourself, be yourself and if he is attracted to that and wants to pursue then he will start weeding out the other women, but expecting him to drop them after a few dates is ice pick/fatal attraction crazy.
Reason 3: You aren’t hot enough.
Every man has thought this at some point in his life:
“You mean, I am going to have to be with the same woman for the rest of my life?”
It’s a scary realization, its like buying a car and knowing that you can never trade it in when it gets old or doesn’t run as good as it did when you first bought it. So, if you are standing at the lot and there is a red Ferrari and a 91 Honda Accord with the paint chipped off and a bumper sticker that says “bitch on board”, which do you think we are going to pick? Even a Ferrari will still look good in 25 years… Also, if you don’t take care of yourself now and put much emphasis on physical appearance then I doubt in 5 years after you “have us” that you are going to wake up one day and start.
Unfortunately its true, for men, you being hot plays into our minds way more than even we want it to. Guys, we have all met girls that we enjoyed spending time with, made us laugh/smile but just isn’t hot enough to pursue. We have all said this before “man, the new girl is cool as hell, she just isn’t hot enough to stay with long term.”
I have known girls who were so much fun to spend time with but got passed by when they were handing out hot as a kid, so I choose less populated places that I knew I wouldn’t know a bunch of people when taking her out. (You want to hear the truth right?)
Shitty? Yes.
Reality? Yes.
Men are visual, its how are brains are wired, embrace it and succeed or fight for what’s “right” and stay single.
Reason 4: You can’t openly communicate.
You clam up when its time to discuss important issues.
You sweep things under the rug.
You can’t successfully communicate your thoughts into words so we can know what’s going on in that head of yours.
You don’t tell us when we do things that piss you off.
You don’t tell us when we do things that you like.
You are mad about something and don’t tell us what or why.
All of these things lead to misunderstandings and resentment.
Perfect example:
We have been dating 3 months, I fish every Saturday morning from 6am to 2pm, you have tap dance class every Saturday morning from 10 to 12. I am thinking it’s a perfect situation, you get to do what you want, I get to do what I want. However you are secretly wishing that every once in a while I would come to your class and watch you or be more involved since its your passion. One day you snap and go off about how I don’t care about your hobbies and you wish that just once I would come watch and pretend to care. The entire time I am thinking we are operating in an optimal situation, and you are becoming more and more upset every Saturday that I don’t show up. 50 years of that? I’d rather be tied to the back of a train and drug 100 miles through piles of infected hypodermic needles.
I have a CRAZY idea, how about you just tell me that’s something you would like for me to do and I will do it. Complex I know.
Oh wait, then I will hear “I shouldn’t have to ask you, you should just want to be interested and show me.” Keep thinking that way, while you are at it go ahead and buy the tshirt now “Always a brides maid, never a bride.”
Stop fighting what works because of principle or some grand idea of how life, men and relationships should be in your head, do what works instead. What works is, tell us what you want and what you are thinking. If you expect us to read your mind then you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Reason 5: You don’t bring enough to the table.
“When I am with him, I feel so alive.”
“He balances me out and brings stability to my life.”
“He makes me feel so desirable in and out of the bedroom.”
“He has such a good stable family.”
“He is a man, makes me feel safe when I am with him.”
“He is honest, I know he wouldn’t lie to me.”
“He gives me space, isn’t clingy.”
“He can dress up and go to a nice function with me, but he can also get dirty hunting and be happy, he is so balanced.”
“He has such a good job, good money, great benefits and stable, he is very ambitious.”
All great reasons to be with someone, sounds like he is a great catch, but on the flip side what do you bring?
- That’s great that I bring stability to your life, but you bring instability.
- That’s great that I make you feel desirable in and out of the bedroom, but what do you offer in the desire department? How do you make me feel desirable? By having sex with me? That doesn’t make me feel desirable.
- That’s great that I have a stable family and yes Christmas’s at the Parrish’s house will be great, like Norman Rockwell. However, your parents are divorced, you and your dad’s new wife hate each other, you and your mom fight all the time because she thinks you are irresponsible, your brother is a drunk, your sister will bring some guy named Vick with a gold chain around his neck to Thanksgiving and your mom will leave crying, your grandmother will tell you that you need to lose weight, you will cry and I will be in the middle of it.
- That’s great for you that I don’t lie to you and you can always trust me, but for some reason you have trouble telling the whole truth.
- I’m glad that I give you space, it must be a nice feeling, I wouldn’t know, you texted me 11 times while I was out with the guys asking if we were with girls and when we were coming home.
- Me being balanced is great for you, but when I ask you to go to walmart with me, you tell me you have to change, fix your hair and put on make up. Or when I ask you to ride the 4 wheeler with me, you cringe and ask if you have to.
- I agree, I have a great job and will always being able to provide financial flexibility for our family. You work at a tanning salon and dropped out of college half way through because it was “too stressful”.
Point is, you have to make me and my life better or why would I enter into a relationship with you? What do you offer? What can you offer me/us long term? If you don’t make me better then I might as well just be single. Right?
Reason 6: You are insecure.
“Baby, you look amazing in that dress…”
“No I don’t, you are just saying that.”
When I hear that, the first thing I think is “you know it would be nice to be with someone who believed in herself and appreciated when I compliment her instead of always questioning it.” Or I think “you know, it would be nice if the closet door burst open and 15 white wolves jumped out and ate you while you were still alive and probably still bitching about the dress.”
Not only is this annoying, its also a wonderful way to push your man right into the arms of a woman who would appreciate him complimenting her and is confident in herself. If you say things like that, be aware, your man is most likely keeping you around until something better comes along. How hard is it to take his compliment and say “Thanks babe, I love when you tell me things like that, makes me feel so pretty.” You really don’t understand how good it feels for a man to hear that.
Maybe your vocal chords are made different than ours and those words require more effort, but I doubt it.
To really discuss the topic of insecurity it would take 10 blogs, all I can say is that insecurity bleeds into all areas of your life, especially your relationships with others. Its easy to spot and very unappealing, guys also know for the most part, its not getting any better.
One more example:
Him: “I think I am going to do something with Jack tonight, you should call your girlfriends and do something with them”
Her: “I just don’t understand why you are choosing him over me, it seems like if you loved me you would want to do something with me tonight”
Him: “Seriously, I wish a train would hit you right now”
Reason 7: You are clingy.
Men need space. Give it to us and don’t bitch about it. I cant put it any more simple than that.
Sometimes we need to go sit on the mower, go to Lowes, watch TV, go fishing, sit in the recliner in peace and quiet, go drink beer with our friends where we can act like guys, go to the camp for the weekend and not call to check in.
None of those things mean we don’t love you or want to be with you, it just means we need space and time away from you.
No, you cant go to the camp with me.
No, you cant go drink beers with us even though you think are a “guys girl”.
No, I don’t want you to help me organize my tools. Actually, they are organized, I am just pretending they aren’t so I can have some time away from you.
No, you cant go ride in the golf cart with me this time and no I am not going to answer your constant texts while I am on the course.
Can we please go somewhere and you not be right underneath my feet or looking to see who I am talking to or texting every second? Go talk to your friends, make new ones, you act like if you leave my side you will explode. Be a person independent of me from time to time, please…
Reason 8: You are impossible to please.
Lets just get straight to the point, men were not built to please women. Everything we want to do naturally, typically does not please a woman without some level of thought and adjusting. Think about that for a minute.
So, when we do the adjusting and it still doesn’t please you AND you can’t clearly communicate what it is that pleases you then we immediately start scanning the room for a new girlfriend or a pistol.
The restaurant we picked wasn’t good enough.
The food we ordered was too spicy.
The hotel we stayed in was too far from our destination.
But, if I would have got the one closer then you wouldn’t have been pleased because it was too expensive.
The ice cream I picked up was the wrong brand.
I don’t give you enough affection, so I try and its too much affection.
You see the pattern? Helen Keller can even see that pattern.
Is it really that hard to be easy going? Just go with the flow, unless its something that is going to kill you, just make the best of it. If the seats I got us for the concert are next to the speakers and its too loud, well at least we are here, see the positive, not the negative.
Men try so hard to show you that we care about you and when all we get back is the feeling that it wasn’t good enough, it makes us want to never do anything for you again. There aren’t many statements out there that are more true than that one. Maybe you should read it again.
We all know girls like this and we know guys that have girlfriends like this. Something is always wrong, not done right, too loud, too quiet, too spicy, too bland, too early, too late, it doesn’t matter, its just not going to be good enough.
Well I assure you, it will be good enough for someone else and you will find that out the hard way.
Reason 9: You are nuts.
Very common reason. You are just fucking nuts, there is no other way to say it.
Its been two weeks and you ask me if I ever wonder how we were ever happy without each other.
You freak out, and cause a scene, literally, because you see me talking to another girl.
You snap because I don’t answer your call when it comes in, so you call over and over again until I answer.
You cry because you think I don’t love you, on date number 4.
You tell me to drive you by your ex’s house on our first date so you can see who’s car is there.
You look through my phone and read my text messages.
You tell me you picked me up something at the mall and its 600 dollars worth of clothes after we have dated a week.
I just think that some women didn’t get enough hugs growing up and now they are just insane, literally. Or maybe they have just put up with too much shit from too many ex’s, now their brains are fried and turned clinically crazy. Either way, I didn’t ask to deal with it so keep your crazy to yourself and your cats.
There you go, top 9 ways its her fault.
