Women can be cruel, and they often do cruel things to men. Despite
their reputation as the fairer sex, when it comes to relationships,
sometimes women can be downright nasty.
It seems like a reverse
sexism started to take hold as the feminist movement came about and
equality for women began gaining ground. Some women use their
girl-power solidarity to come to a consensus on what’s socially
acceptable for women to do to men in a relationship. They’ve agreed among themselves that these behaviors
are perfectly justifiable regardless of how they play with a guy’s
emotions or ego.
With that, we’ve compiled a top 10 list of cruel things women do to men.
10. They don’t pick up the phone
You
convinced her to give you her number and you’re feeling good about
yourself. Your charm and good looks have obviously made an impression
on her. Unfortunately, when you try to call, she doesn’t pick up or,
worse yet, she’s given you a fake number. Some women will give you
their numbers because it’s easier than trying to tell you why she’s not
interested. What’s more, in the age of caller ID, it’s easy for her to
avoid your calls. At least the women who give you a made-up number are
being more obvious about the fact that they have no intention of
talking to you again.
9. Use men for free drinks
Some
women go out never planning to spend any of their own money on drinks
at the bar or club. Instead, they count on their feminine wiles to
convince guys to shell out for their libations. Some of these women
will take the opportunity of a guy buying a drink for her to begin to
get to know him, but others (the cruel and heartless ones) will take
that drink, flirt a little and move on to the next sucker with money to
burn.
8. Use men as placeholders
Maybe you’ve been
in a relationship for a while and you notice that her eye is starting
to wander. She’s starting more fights with you or not bothering to
fight at all anymore. Her friends get quiet when you walk into a room.
She’s avoiding your phone calls. Her things are disappearing from your
place. The AM article Breakup Warning Signs talked about all these
hints that she’s thinking about putting an end to your relationship
and, well, they’re cruel things.If she is a decent person, she’ll just
get it over with and dump you already, but if she’s cruel, she’ll hold
on to you for a while until somebody new comes along.
These
girls don’t like to be alone and without a relationship, so instead of
putting you out of your misery and ending it, she’ll string you along
until she meets someone to replace you. If she’s really cruel, she’ll
start things up with him before she’s finalized the breakup with you.
7. Emotionally manipulate men
Men
don’t like to see women cry and some cruel women will take advantage of
this fact and use it to get what they want. In general, women are much
more emotional than men and it’s easy for some women to use a man’s
complete incomprehension of female feelings to get something out of
him. A few well-placed tears or a temper tantrum and most men will do
anything to get it to stop.
6. Use physical violence
Men
are usually raised with the idea that hitting girls is a major no-no.
Unfortunately, there are some cruel women who use this aspect of a
man’s personality to gain power over him. In the minds of some women,
it’s perfectly acceptable to slap a boyfriend across the face when he
says something to piss her off. Knowing that he would never hit her
back, this type of woman feels like she can inflict any kind physical
pain on him without fear of repercussion. A man is also less likely to
tell someone about suffering physical violence at the hands of his
girlfriend if he believes he’ll be thought of as weak or pathetic.
5. Criticize their men in public
A
growing trend in television shows and commercials is that of depicting
men as bumbling idiots, while their wives and girlfriends are
intelligent, in control and flawless. This may contribute to the real
life practice of cruel women who criticize and humiliate their men in
public places. Women can get away with this in ways that men would
never be allowed to. When a woman pokes fun at her man or even soundly
debases him, the group surrounding them is more likely to laugh than to
be appalled.
4. They don’t disclose their relationship status
You’ve
pulled out all your best moves and you seem to be making progress with
the cute girl you’ve just met. When you finally get to the point when
you feel you can safely ask for her number, she smiles and says: "I
have a boyfriend." That information would have been nice to have at the
beginning of the conversation. It’s certainly not the worst thing a
woman could do to a man, but it is annoying when she lets you assume
that she’s available so that she can enjoy your flirtation and flattery.
3. They withhold sex
This
is a time-tested, and frequently used, cruel thing for women to do to
men. For most men, sex is as important as breathing, so withholding it
in order to get something she wants or simply to punish her man for his
transgressions is a pretty awful thing to do, even if it is effective.
2. They test their men
You’re all ready to go for a night out with your
friends, when your girlfriend calls and asks you to change your plans
to be with her instead. She doesn’t have any particular reason; she
just wants to see you. She knows that you had plans to meet up with the
guys, but if you really loved her, you’d come over to her place
instead. If her request comes with an "if you really loved me," then
it’s a test. If you choose anything other than immediately rushing to
her side, you’re going to fail. This kind of testing in a relationship
is indeed cruel and petty and you need to remove yourself from such
relationship.
1. They flirt to inspire jealousy
Maybe
she’s feeling underappreciated, maybe you’ve just had a big fight or
maybe she just enjoys the tortured look on your face. For whatever
reason, girls who flirt obviously with other guys in front of their
boyfriends are immature and manipulative.
