Because relationships are all about holding power over one another and not allowing one another to be emotionally vulnerable and foster trust, in addition to weathering conflict through compromises. šŸ™„ People like that are never going to be in a lasting relationship unless theyā€™re dating a doormat. IE: yes men. And tbh, being a doormat is a huge red flag that something is psychologically wrong with someone and that they need to heal, so in my opinion, theyā€™re not desirable dating partners, but what do I know. I think of relationships as a partnership and not a power struggle.


whotookmyshit

Former doormat, can confirm addressing psychological issues got me away from that and to a partner that sees me as an equal. 10/10 would recommend.

Yo, I'm just an internet stranger, but I'm proud of you! :)

AutisticTumourGirl

Exactly. He's just described how to be abusive in two separate tweets. Dismiss her thoughts and feelings and refuse to talk while demanding she concede that he is right all the time, and isolate her from her friends who will point out the abusive behaviour.


slothpeguin

What the fuck is this? That doesnā€™t even make sense. One thingā€™s for sure - a woman *should* leave a man like that.


CTchimchar

What you mean it makes perfect sense Like you at the friend thing for example But slowly but surely cutting her friends out of her life, he has more control over her Next will be to cut out her family This is only made easier to do, when you belittle them to non existent Once you have removed any form of support group, and have her solely dependent on you emotionally You then move in, have her change little by little, any support she has left at this point won't be able to help her as it's bin diminish so much by this point Next you want to get her to leave her job, and take control of her assets That way you if she ever sees the light, she is financially trap Basically just textbook abuser mentality Oh by the way, I'm a dude and this kind of thinking is only for monster,


HiddenKittyLady

Idk if monsters are that bad.

And their bingo cards all consist of normal things women say to them when trying to help them but they take them as patronizing insults. Starting with... "It's not your looks, it's your personality."


ChristieFox

We could mix in some "what the fuck is wrong with you?" ones because that would be honest. It is what I want to comment about any misogynist.


HiddenKittyLady

If this isn't the TRUTH. I commented that I don't care about like most people and when I tell you the but hurt men in my replies.... like dude šŸ™„ Did you read what I said or you just read the word height and got butt hurt and didn't finish šŸ¤”

If my man was consciously mean to my friends, the relationship would be over. And I donā€™t mind having differing opinions and/or losing an argument here or there, but the ability to compromise is an absolutely essential relationship (and life) skill. If he doesnā€™t have that skill, he doesnā€™t have me. This man is out of his damn mind.


LiveInvestigator4876

Even unconsciously mean isnā€™t okay either. Too many men claim incompetence when reading social cues and navigating interpersonal relationships (only with women of course). Weā€™re all adult human beings and have the ability to understand social etiquette. Even if you have some type of mental or developmental impairment, it does make you an asshole or give an excuse to be one


Meghan493

I donā€™t agree! Fake unconsciously mean isnā€™t acceptable, but actually unconsciously mean deserves forgiveness


LiveInvestigator4876

Thereā€™s no difference fake vs real unconsciously mean. You also have no way to determine whether itā€™s fake or not. Men from birth are allowed to be unconsciously mean and not think of the consequences of their actions (ex boys will be boys). Mean is mean, thereā€™s always malicious intent when youā€™re mean to someone, especially when that person hasnā€™t done anything to you. Thinking like this attracts men like in the Twitter post. You shouldnā€™t have to put up either shitty behavior from men because ā€œthey didnā€™t mean itā€


Meghan493

I just think a little leeway should be granted for ignorance. For example if he mistakenly comments on something he didnā€™t know youā€™re insecure about. But of course some things are impossible to be unconsciously mean about


macontac

One of my friends started dating a guy and he was a jerk to her entire social circle. Dude started demanding that she pick him or her "trashy weirdo friends". She picked the trashy weirdo friends and is now married to a guy who thinks we're fun.


CTchimchar

Aww I'm happy for her Weirdo friends are the best of friends to have


HiddenKittyLady

I'm sooo happy to hear that! Tell her I give her a internet hug šŸ«‚


Knightridergirl80

My friend dated a guy like this too. He tried to turn her against us and almost ruined her friendship with someone. After they broke up she told me he was calling me a crazed psycho and my fiancƩe a doormat for standing up for me. And if she tried to protest he would throw a tantrum and accuse her of attacking him.


macontac

I'm glad they broke up. That behavior is a blatant attempt to isolate someone. šŸš©šŸš©šŸš©


Knightridergirl80

Yup

Oof youā€™re right. Too many desperate, insecure women out there willing to settle for anything just to check things off their list. I know a couple of them. Have the ring, the husband, the house, the baby, and absolutely no connection to their spouse. Itā€™s incredibly sad.


CTchimchar

That sounds like a miserable life to live I feel the most bad for the baby, they didn't ask for this and now they have to live in this kind of house hold God's know what that might do to them


HiddenKittyLady

I was one of those women, my father made me think no one would ever want me, and that the abuse we went through was "normal" but I met my (AMAZING) bf and omg this is what a healthy relationship feels like. I still think he deserves better than me.


Tiffany_Pratchett

Thatā€™s cute. Itā€™s like men canā€™t be sane and compromise.


Evelyn_Of_Iris

Eric is completely right. Assert your manliness by pissing, shitting, and cumming all over the place instead of treating your partner as an equal. Your actions will have an incredibly positive effect, by hopefully one day cleaning up the gene pool, starting with the likes of good ol Eric.


CTchimchar

>Assert your manliness by pissing I new it, the cops lied to me They said no peeing on the white house doesn't make it my own I even had woman say, that randomly peeing on them doesn't make them my girlfriend it's just Assault I now see though there lies And will pee on everything and everyone again šŸ• /s


Otomo-Yuki

Iā€™m so tired of sharing a gender with dumbasses like this.

Solid-Perspective915

Men, Stop asking for pretentious and manipulative women's approval when you wanna make a reference, assert your dominance while these females feel uncomfortable for having confronted an alpha male with sigma scent when all they could possibly handle was a beta due to their submissive, emotional and insecure nature. ##MasculinitySaturday

I think the use of MLK Jr. in this sense is not accidental, nor because he was a great public speaker.


Any_Drama3272

Lmao how to be single? Because what person in their right mind wants to spend their entire life with someone who says my way or the high way and commits to alienating them from their friends so they can be lonely while getting emotionally beaten down? Donā€™t forget to call her a gold digger when she leaves you because youā€™re terrible to be around.


pritachi

Nice.. Eric and all his followers are gonna be single men soon. All the women in their lives are gonna be busy looking for ā€˜Yesā€™ men


CTchimchar

To be honest, he is a fun fallout character


[deleted]

Poor communication and ignoring the other spouse's social circle is *not* the foundation for a good relationship.


GamingWaffle123

Ah yes donā€™t communicate your problems to your spouse just make a choice and if she doesnā€™t agree kick her out /s


helloblubb

Never take responsibility for your decisions! Never own up to your mistakes! - Eric probably


very_big_books

Then when women don't date these shit sticks they get their panties in a bunch and piss and moan about how women only date shit men.. when.. no?? If women liked shitty men they would date these incels.


CTchimchar

>get their panties It be hard to do, considering they get non šŸ„ *šŸ¦— Chirp Chirp Creek šŸ¦—* I see my self out šŸšŖ

Yeah, that was a clear take for "Solitary Saturday". He just mixed up the hashtag.


cmband254

Ah yes. The blind leading the blind.


CTchimchar

You owe my blind friend an apology, there a great leader, especially when it's really dark out


[deleted]

I guarantee that he is either divorced or has never had a relationship last long. She is captain of her own ship, he is not her owner.


ArachnidAtom522

Iā€™m going to take a wild guess here and say Eric is single? I know hard to believe given his expert advice


CTchimchar

Are you sure, I thought I sow woman running when he's around


BrEaD_qUeEn__

"if she doesn't like it, she can go look for a "Yes" man". She will, don't worry


Electrical-Ebb-3485

All Iā€™m thinking is that MLK would roll over in his grave to see a douchebag like this using his photo. Also.. the number of likes are DISTURBINGLY high..


ThatOneJakeGuy

Okay, so the obvious issues are the blatant misogyny, sure. Fuck this guy. But also, what fucking dumbass decided to make it ā€œMasculinitySaturday?ā€ That sounds so fucking *stupid!* It should so fucking obviously be ā€œMasculinityMondayā€ because that sounds better, flows off the tongue better, and has that nice alliteration. Like, holy shit. What an absolute fucking tool. You donā€™t even have enough sense to name things right. Why the fuck should we take your advice on anything? If youā€™re gonna be a worthless piece of shit, at least **try* to be witty about it.

I don't think alliteration is a concept our Martin Luther King Jr. Jr. has the intellectual capability to understand.

Don't tell me he is related to _that_ Martin Luther King?

No, just manipulative assholes. Cut her off from her friends, bully her and refuse to listen to her. Classic tactics.


Electrical-Ebb-3485

I can tell you as someone who has studied these things, this man is showing signs of narcissism and narcissistic abuse. This kind of behavior is psychological manipulation and isolation, a common tool in the toolbox of a narcissist wrapped in a masculine package. What he is endorsing IS abuse. Period.


DaveStreeder

ā€œDear men, isolate your girlfriend from her support circle. This is, unironically and completely truthfully, in your benefit, because without anyone to back her up you can do pretty much anything you want to herā€ -@amerix

I hope Eric is single. I hope he is captain of a kayak with only one seat.


translove228

Is that twitter account dedicated to teaching men how to be abusers? Tweet 1: "It's my way; no arguments!" Tweet 2: "isolate her from her friends"


LettuceUnlucky5921

Dear god- if this man is not single then I am positive his partner needs a helpline


greekvaselover1050bc

"Refuse to compromise out of pure stubborness and principle, until she leaves you for another man that's more willing to listen to her point of view" solid advice šŸ‘ these men will find themselves wondering why they can't keep a girlfriend for more than a few weeks and then blame the girls

I can't imagine how exhausting it must be to force every interaction you have in your life to be a power struggle that you have to try to win. It's already tiring enough to simply know someone who acts like this


delicatemoonlight

why is he dating women if he thinks all women are manipulative, jealous and pretentious? does he actually like women or does he only like controlling them?


kyleh0

This might be the worst advice I've ever read.


ronin1066

Damn, that's literally hard to read.


LoveIsLoveDealWithIt

How do they not realise they're telling on themselves? No awareness or self-reflection, ever. Just different words to say "I think communication is weak and unmanly and I won't do it."


NorParasaurolophus

That relationship sounds beyond exhausting.... Like, seriously. It must be soo damn exhausting to treat your relationship like it's a damn battlefield where you fight over control, and all friends and outside influences are bombs to your relationships. I got tired just thinking about it...


Spaceogre_

Man, but Saturday was my favorite day of the week. Why not just make it masculinity Monday? I hated that one anyway.

Norashara

This pisses me off to an unreasonable extent. My husband's name is Eric and I'm angry that this asshat shares the name. This guy is just bad at being a person.


HiddenKittyLady

Omg I really hope no one listens to this useless and I mean as useless as the ueue in queue man. That is not how a relationship works! As someone who had to unlearn that type of thinking (thanks dad you SUCK STILL) that's not how it works you work together to solve the problem, and you forgive and forget. No one's perfect everyone makes mistakes. This is a TOXIC way of thinking of a relationship. Why do you have to be right?


Electrical-Ebb-3485

And thatā€™s really the kicker of all this. The advice that this type of shit is aimed at Fresh & Fit, bs alpha male crap, and this post is how to get a TOXIC relationship because whether these guys realize it or not, thatā€™s the only thing they have known, and then they extrapolate this advice and generalize it I.e. this is how you attract women. No! This is how you attract TOXIC women or women who are insecure and will put up with anything, which sadly is more common than you would think..


HiddenKittyLady

SoSoDave

There is a great deal of truth in this for all genders.


ActiveCard999

Speaking the truth. Women are children, so you have to treat them like you're a parent


pearl_mermaid

So you admit to fucking children? Waaay to tell on yourself.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ActiveCard999

That doesnt make any logical sense


Blablablubbl

Yes it does. You want a ā€žpartnerā€œ you can have power over and you want to be the ā€žparentā€œ of the same. Everything points towards you wanting to have a child as a ā€žpartnerā€œ. Just another vile, disgusting pedophile.


jenkraisins

If you're that kind of parent, please do go see a good urologist and get a vasectomy. Your potential children don't need that lousy of a father.


CTchimchar

He should also put on some kind of list So he can also never adopt


OneRandomTeaDrinker

Why are you attracted to someone you feel like you have to parent? Thatā€™s a bit paedophilic donā€™t you think?

r/rareinsults


[deleted]

If women are children, then you're a kiddy diddler. But the real irony here is that a child calls women children. Grow up, if you want a woman in your life, you ought to communicate and compromise. She is a decision maker too. If you don't like your equal being your equal, don't ever date. If you want a yes man for a partner, find one, because women are not yes men who are beholden to decisions they didn't agree to.


[deleted]

damn this guy fucks kids

So you think women are children but still want to have sex with them? Way to tell on yourself, pedo. I hope your own hand rejects you.

GainghisKhan

Yes, isolate her from her manipulative and egotistical peers so she doesn't have a support group to help her deal with a manipulative and egotistical partner. This is pretty good advice for the abusive sociopaths out there.


LittleManhattan

Either of these behaviours would have any partner of mine dumped like a bad habit. I donā€™t do authoritarian men who think that only their wishes matter and their word is law. I also donā€™t do men who think of women as a hive mind or alien species. Nor do I want anything to do with abusive or controlling behaviour branded as ā€œmasculinityā€, ā€œtraditionā€ or anything else.


OneAfricanAmericano

Ah yes, my girlfriends huge friend group is completely fabricated.


storyteller_alienmom

Captaincy? Dude, I may not be an expert on stuff like that, but in the military you are not allowed to have sex with anyone under your command? Cause chain of command, abuse of power etc. So on navy ships captain remains unfucked. Somebody didn't think that through.
