5. The Alpha Male DESCRIPTION The Alpha Male has developed many of the Special Skills described above. He is often intelligent, able to confidently discuss a wide range of issues and may be capable of critical thinking. For these reasons, he is a leader amongst his male friends and is respected by colleagues and family members. He is therefore not used to being challenged or disagreed with. He will always aim to maintain control of every aspect of your relationship, including frequency and length of visits and telephone interactions. He is mainly motivated by self-interest and is not a team player. LIKES Being in Control, Being Waited On, Being Waited For, Being the Centre of Attention DISLIKES Being Wrong, Being out of control, Being questioned, Any Challenge or Disagreement IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS •Pride. Confidence/swagger. Is a taker, not a giver. Never backs down. •Appearance-centric. Recipient of frequent phone calls from others asking for advice. Like the Gangsta, he avoids intimacy and is rarely honest and open with his feelings. In conflict situations, in contrast to the aggression of a Narcissist/Abuser, an Alpha Male will often simply ignore and/or avoid you if he suspects you are angry. He may then initiate contact on his terms when he assumes you have calmed down. Marks his territory by leaving clothing and accessories (shoes, jackets, sunglasses) at yours so he always has a reason to return. Will regularly cancel plans with friends, family, and lovers at a moment’s notice. Like the Peter Pan Man, he calls this behaviour spontaneous, but is in fact insensitive and inconsiderate of those around him. SPECIAL SKILLS Same interpersonal and situational management skills as The Gangsta. Has some of the mind control skills of the Narcissist/Abuser. Like the Player, he is very likely to be extremely good in bed. COMMON PHRASES A. Nobody can tell me what to do / I’m my own man B. I’m not ready/too selfish to be in a relationship C. I’m not a relationship kind of guy *****DISCLAIMER***** We are not saying that all men can be placed into one of these categories. We also do not claim that these descriptions are infallible. We speak only from our experience with types of men we have encountered in a combined 26+ year dating history. We have discussed doing a corollary article about the behaviours of respectful, loving, compassionate men, but upon reflection, we realised that although there are some men who display these types of characteristics, we have not encountered enough of them to create another article with the richness and depth of insight found above. We are however, in the process of creating a response to the numerous requests we have received for “guidelines” or an article detailing SoR’s expectations for appropriate behaviour in contrast to the disappointing experiences detailed here. ****************END****************** |
4. The Gangsta DESCRIPTION The gangsta has a hectic life. Thus, he can be emotionally distant, aggressive, abusive, dishonest, and dominating to those around him. Any interaction with him will be at his whim or according to his schedule. Yet instead of being frustrated by this, you may feel strangely special when he is able to fit you into his busy life. SoR acknowledge that his behaviours are a direct result of the system that we are also fighting to overthrow. However, we have found it extremely difficult to establish healthy romantic relationships with him. •LIKES Good girls. Cars. Expensive things. Being/staying out late. Parties/raves. People he can control. •DISLIKES Intimacy. Honesty. Questions. Snitches. Police. The Government. The Man. The System. (As you might imagine, the latter half of these dislikes are some of the reasons for SoRs’ former alignment with Gangstas). IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS Street credibility. Difficult to make plans with or otherwise pin down. Good at avoiding intimacy and never exposing vulnerability. Relies on material possessions and notorious accomplishments for reputation. May typically wear precious metals and/or have interest in high fashion/ expensive brands. May often be seen with wads of cash, nice car, tattoos. May spend exorbitant amounts on expensive drinks, such as champagne and name brand alcohols. Gangsta/ rough sex. SPECIAL SKILLS •Defending himself and his friends – The Gangsta is the top dog for a reason. His power and initial charm may make him attractive to you. But this aggression will undoubtedly seep into any intimate relationship. •Situational Management – There is a never a situation the Gangsta cannot handle. You may be impressed by the way he is able to deal with change, make decisions and have those around him carry them out. Good at thinking on his feet. •Entrepreneurial Abilities – Good at mental maths, building networks, establishing product/market fit, negotiating supply and demand and keeping critical information under wraps. •Interpersonal Skills – The Gangsta is able to maintain the undying respect, loyalty, and dedication of those around him. This is done through a combination of emotionally manipulative and fear-inducing tactics he has been taught by OGs before him. You may be frustrated with his inability to say anything really nice to you but nevertheless still be taken in by his gangsta game. Learning to identify and take note of these tactics when they are utilised is a primary way you can begin to untangle yourself from their grasp. •Opportunistic But Unrealistic Scheduling Habits: chaotic day-to-day activities that are often subject to change, including to-dos associated with “picking up,” “dropping off,” “handling business,” etc. •Alternate Timetable: SoR has found that Gangstas operate on a “stated time x 3=actual time” principle, where “I’m 5 mins away” means he will arrive in at least 15 min and “I’ll be there in 15” means approximately 45 min. The formula does not apply to “I’ll be there in an hour/few hours – just doing 1 thing” – this means you likely won’t see them at all on that particular occasion. •Deflecting Responsibility – Rarely accepts that he is to blame for anything. Makes frequent and skillful use of Exceptional Circumstance Lies. COMMON PHRASES A. You know what it is B. I’m out here/I’m a hustla C. My life’s a struggle D. Silence or lack of detail regarding personal or work related issues |
3. The Peter Pan Man (aka Immature, Little Boys, Never Grown Up) DESCRIPTION The Peter Pan Man has not grown up. He is not emotionally or intellectually mature enough to sustain any type of long-term adult relationship. You may be excited by his enthusiasm and zest for life; however, his general immaturity, indecisiveness, lack of critical thinking or life skills, dependency on his friends’ opinions, and prioritisation of his “hobbies” or media addictions over human interaction will eventually sabotage any relationship. •LIKES Comic books, video games, porn, hanging out with his friends, “satirical” animated comedy series, sports, group think •DISLIKES Responsibility, decisions, simple requests IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS Living at home/moved in with you, does not pay his own rent, no stable source of income, easily hired/fired, spending most of his day on hobbies such as: poker, video games, skateboarding, ballin, chillin with the boys. Suddenly cancels his own plans and calls it spontaneity. Uses any number of avoidance tactics re: consequences or challenging conversations but has no filter for his own thoughts (verbal diarrhea). Will not allow you to end the relationship or the discussion on your own terms; always wants the last word. SPECIAL SKILLS Making you laugh. A carefree/ spontaneous attitude to life – The Peter Pan Man has a youthful sense of play and fun. He may have jokes, be good at accents or impressions, or like to rap. He may try to impress you by initially including hanging out with you in his daily schedule of fun things, or by offering to do or make things with you, but is often too lazy and immature to complete his plans. COMMON PHRASES A. “My mum’s my best friend” B. “I’ve spoken to my boys about this and they said…” C. “Do we have to talk about this now?” / “Can’t it wait till later?” D. “Why do we have to be so serious all the time?” / “Can’t we just have a chilled out conversation?” |
2. The Abuser / Narcissist DESCRIPTION The Abuser/Narcissist starts out loving and charming but in time begins to break down your confidence, separates you from your friends, and family, and becomes emotionally or physically abusive. They want their victim to be willing to endure their abuse and to label this willingness “love.” They are extremely possessive, jealous, and controlling and will go to any lengths to prevent you from ending the relationship. They will blame you for all of this behaviour. •LIKES Himself (to the point of obsession). Willing obedience. Apologies. Fear and control. •DISLIKES Being challenged or corrected. Your independent thought. Your girl friends. IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS •Draws you in with a vibrant personality – may sing, tell stories or jokes, or otherwise make you laugh. May go to the gym and be obsessed with his appearance. May surprise you with sudden defensiveness or aggressive outbursts. Will passionately insist that he is making a special effort for you over basic interactions, e.g. calling you, coming round for a visit, texting you back. If the words “headfuck” and “crazymaking” come to mind, you are probably dealing with a Narcissist Abuser. He wants to drive you “crazy” to replace your understanding of reality with his, in which he is the centre, so that he may continue his abuse. SPECIAL SKILLS •Mind control & Altering reality – The Narcissist Abuser has the ability to radically change your understanding of the circumstances or an argument. For example, he will be abusive to you and reframe the situation so he is the victim. He will often alternate between abusive language, vicious attacks on you and your personality, and Lies of Affection and Lies in the Future, disorienting and confusing you, and replacing your thoughts with the false realities he has constructed. His aim with this tactic is to mould you into a submissive and fearful but still loving and affectionate object of his control. •Getting you to love them / stay with them / go back to them – The Narcissist knows how to convince you that he loves you, but make no mistake – everything he does/says is for the benefit of his own massive ego. He will break down your confidence so that you feel you deserve no better than how he is treating you. As he is likely to become violent towards you, you are in danger when around him. SoR advises complete and immediate separation from men who exhibit this type of behaviour. We are not experts, we are just women who have experienced these kinds of relationships in the past. COMMON PHRASES A. No one understands me / I feel my life’s got a special purpose (or other phrases that convey that they think of themselves as unique, misunderstood, and that the problems in their lives arise from others and not them) B. Look how I came to see you / Look how I called you / texted you back (or other phrases that make small basic gestures seem like he’s gone out of his way for you when he hasn’t) C. Why do you always make me so angry? / I wish you didn’t make me so upset /make me get me like this /You always… (and then blames you for his anger management issues) D. I want to get better/ You can make me a better person (It’s not your responsibility to stay in relationships with abusive men. You can’t make them better, only they can make that change.) |
This is a counter thread to this post: 7 Types Of Guys Women Can't Resist- You Agree? by BANGERLEE1(m): 6:43pm On Oct 04 I hope this post will enlighten the ladies a little while it won't upset the guys as much as I can't imagine. I was upset myself when I see this article but decided to share it for the good of all. ***************START************** Sisters of Resistance and our wider network of female friends have been disappointed with the types of men who, we discovered, fit into the below categories. In this article, we describe their dominating and emotionally manipulative behaviour and outline their likes, dislikes, characteristics, skills and phrases so that you can easily identify and avoid them. However, this list is not exhaustive — there are many more dangerous types of men, including combinations of the below. With this in mind, SoR presents: 1. The Player / Pick Up Artist 2. The Narcissist / Abuser 3. The Peter Pan Man 4. The Gangsta 5. The Alpha Male 1. The Player or Pick Up Artist DESCRIPTION The player is smooth, charming and the epitome of a ladies’ man. He seems to have a knack for knowing just what to say and when to say it, often making you wonder whether or not he is too good to be true. If you wonder this, trust your gut — this is likely the case. •LIKES Himself, Women, Intimacy, Being the Object of Attention/Desire •DISLIKES Facebook (Baitbook), Being Caught Playing IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS Often has (or talks about having) expensive/fast cars, mentions houses, holidays, music videos, new jobs/ business ideas that never seem to appear. Special attention paid to how he dresses/looks/smells, etc. Funny, witty. Likely to be the one to ramp up the intensity of the relationship first but will never be the one to bring up relationship-related topics. SPECIAL SKILLS •Flirting – a.k.a. Game. Includes sweet-talking, teasing, winding or buttering you up. Works hard to convince you he is your dream come true. Depending on his lifestyle he may be better at this via text/e-mail/ phone than in person. •Quasi-listening – May appear to be a patient listener but rarely responds in depth to anything you say. Changes the subject soon after you have expressed your thoughts to something that is more interesting to him, or a topic over which he feels he has more command and control. •Sex – The Player is often abnormally good in bed, and may even appear to know how to read your body, contributing to the illusion that you are meant to be together. If you encounter someone with these unusual skills, proceed with caution. COMMON PHRASES A. for himself: “God’s gift to women,” an “artist” or “poet,” “The Man”, uses $ in his name B. for you/other women: darling, babe, princess, sexy (see also: Lies of Affection) C. Other/General: “We can do anything, go anywhere.” “Let me know and I’ll make that happen.” |

godofwar666:Well, I wish and hope we will have a shy girl on this thread who will clear the air. |

godofwar666:I will disagree with u on this particular reason, I might agree to any other reason. I have a friend who dates a shy girl and this girls hardly leave house or go outing, by the time we come back home after daily activities, we are sure to find something to eat. I LOVE SHY GIRLS ooooo. I pray I find one! |
godofwar666:Why? |
I'm still awaiting your comment on this thread @ Arva $ OlamiB |
Classyzi:Do you agree with those aforementioned points. You'd be my favorite if you r truly shy! |
Not every man likes bold women. A lot of men prefer shy women or women who speak much lesser than those women who speak too much. Shy girls have many qualities that are found super attractive by guys. So, you don’t have to transform yourself into a chatterbox or an outgoing girl if you are a shy girl. You have already got what numerous men die for! Find out why guys like shy girls. 1. Men think that shy girls are less likely to cheat This may or may not be true but a lot of men think so. A shy girlfriend or wife will enjoy quiet evenings at home. They won’t interact much with people around even if they go out to a party. All this makes many men feel comforted. If a guy has a shy girlfriend at home then he will be less worried about having a long trip away from home than the man who has an extrovert girlfriend at home. A woman who has tons of acquaintances and a large friend circle can be very intimidating for some men. 2. Most guys like challenges A lot of guys like challenges. Bashful beauties are actually a sort of puzzle that needs to be solved. Some shy girls are hard to get and this makes things more interesting for guys. When shy girls finally open up to guys, it is actually very sweet. 3. Shy girls can keep secrets very well Most shy girls are very good at keeping their guys’ secrets. Such girls don’t speak much to anyone and they don’t like to gossip too much. A lot of shy girls speak about important things only and don’t beat about the bush. This drastically reduces the chances of letting out the secrets. 4. Guys love to protect their shy girls Guys are protective by nature. They like to protect their loved ones in some way or the other. Aggressive or bold girls are very confident about their protection. They are independent when it comes to chasing their dreams and getting what they want. On the other hand, shy girls usually don’t tell anyone what they really want or feel. This gives guys a chance to provide comfort to their shy girls. 5. Shy girls are less likely to get their guys into trouble Aggressive or outgoing girls can be fun but they are more likely to get either themselves or their guys into trouble. They might over share things with people around as they are outgoing. They might let out their guys’ secrets or embarrass them because of the excess sharing. 6. Shy girls are mysterious Guys really like shy girls who are mysterious. A girl who speaks less or a girl who seems more mysterious is attractive for guys. Such a girl makes a guy want to find out what she is hiding inside of her. 7. Shy girls tend to be more caring and loving Shy girls don’t use words to express their words. They often express their feelings through actions. So, a shy girl might cook her boyfriend’s favorite dish to tell him how much she loves him. She might do a lot of other things to comfort her guy. A shy girl might make her guy feel like he is the King of the world. 8. A lot of guys love shy women because they are not bold in bed Shy girls are not bold in bed. They never take charge in the bed and this makes their guys to feel more dominant. A bedroom is a man’s Jungle. Every man wants to be the Tiger and the King of his Jungle. Some men don’t like to b e dominated in bed. 9. Shy women are delicate Most men like delicate women. Shy girls are delicate and polite. They have a soft nature. The femininity of a woman makes a man go crazy. Shy girls are usually very feminine. Their shy smile, facial expressions and body language make them very feminine. They are not like bold women who laugh loudly and hit guys when they make a mistake or a naughty comment. Most men like women who know how to handle themselves in public places. According to a lot of men, a woman’s eyes speak out loud and have a deep meaning. Shy girls put their eyes down when a guy looks into their eyes. They play with their hair when men talk to them. These gestures are found lovely by some men. 10. Men think that shy girls are more trustworthy Shy women are usually more secretive. They are decent and calm by nature. This makes shy girls more trustworthy and lovable. The innocence of shy girls attracts a lot of men. 11. Men think that they can be dominating if they get into a relationship with a shy girl Almost every man loves to show his dominance in his relationship. Men love to date a shy girl because they can easily dominate in a relationship that has one person who doesn’t demand too much. Men love women who are not directly controlling in a relationship. They feel good when their shy woman listen to them and follow them. Shy girls seldom argue with their men. They might disagree with their men’s decisions but they won’t shout or slam the doors in anger. 12. The relationship is slow and steady A slow and steady relationship excites men. Shy girls take time to open up. So, men might come to know more about shy girls slowly and gradually. This keeps the guys with the urge to know more and more about their shy girls. **DO YOU AGREE? |

TY Bello, is she not the lady who sang the song titled 'the land is green'. Oh, congratulations to her and her family. On a lighter mood, the kids probably waited for so long because the 'land isn't green' contrary to what their mum has said. Just kidding! |
