Stop being such a shit manipulator and learn to do it covertly and smoothly.
Like if you had a feeling she knew and you tell her she is stupid to manipulate her into proving you wrong and she does? What if she was okay with it and wanted a relationship and didn't want to try to change you but you can't manipulate her and she likes being in control just as much as you do?
This would change nothing for me. Except I might have to show her how far I'm willing to go for control and I'm sure when she's done shaking and balling, I will console her and she will accept it.
Perhaps she will just kick your skinny white ass.
It is easy to see manipulation pretty early on. Sometimes I just laugh and say "whatever". Other times I call "bullshit." This comes from a lifetime of being around macho men.
You're funny David! If she sees through the BS, she won't stand for it, she'll just leave you or pretend you can control her and play you!... an eternal game and they played happil ever after...
