Self-Worth: The Secret to How Others Treat You
How you perceive yourself plays a significant role in how others interact with you. Our self-perception is entirely within our control. If we lack self-worth, we allow others to dictate our value. However, when we appreciate and cherish ourselves, others will follow suit. If you genuinely believe that you deserve everything your heart desires, it will come to fruition.
Self-confidence is paramount and one of the most beneficial aspects of being confident is that it liberates you from the burden of caring about what others think. Remember, womanhood is a blessing and as a self-confident woman, you possess the capability to revolutionize your life; all you need to do is master how to do it.
The initial step on this transformational journey might be challenging to comprehend because it contradicts what many are conditioned to believe about women's inherent nature. Regardless, it's a vital aspect of reshaping your perspective on relationships. So what's this indispensable skill? It's the ability to control your emotions.
Mastering Your Emotions Is Crucial to Your Love Life
A major factor that allows men to easily manipulate women is their difficulty in controlling their emotions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that women are emotional beings. However, if you don't learn to manage your emotions, your emotions end up managing you and ultimately influencing your behavior.
Unlike most men, women tend to make decisions based on their feelings. If your goal is to find the right man for yourself, it's crucial to gain control over your emotional responses. Men are often quick to say what you want to hear, banking on the fact that you'll let your emotions take over from there. Put an end to this manipulation!
Any woman who has been in the dating scene knows that some men will exploit your emotional nature for their own benefit. But by mastering control over your emotions, you can significantly reduce the extent of influence these men have over your actions. Consider this typical scenario: a guy shatters your heart by being unfaithful. A rational person would simply dismiss him and move forward in life. But powerful emotions can often cloud your judgment, leading you to justify someone's inappropriate behavior even when you're fully aware it's not right. Identifying when your emotions are taking control is the easy part. The real challenge lies in managing them. When you sense your emotions gaining control, engage in an open dialogue with yourself. Recognize your emotions but resist succumbing to them.
Mastering your emotions is crucial both at the beginning and the end of a relationship. Initially, it's common to have an overly optimistic outlook and believe that you have found the perfect partner. It may even feel like you've found 'The One' despite not yet knowing him fully and before he has even proven himself worthy of you. Likewise, when a relationship concludes and heartbreak sets in, managing your emotions becomes even more difficult.
Some women often succumb to their emotions even if it harms their future selves and will act illogically for temporary relief or a momentary pleasure. You can't prevent these feelings from surfacing, but you can dictate how you react to them. Emotions can override the rational mind and cause you to make bad decisions like sleeping with that attractive ex that didn't want to commit to you, so it's vital that you refrain from doing what your emotions compel you to do.
Mend Your Heartbreak: Allow Your Heart Time to Heal, Just Like Any Injury!
The final step in mastering your emotions lies in acknowledging your heartache and emotional pain and treating them as if they were physical injuries. Allow them time to recover, resisting the urge to rush the healing process. As time passes, the intensity of your pain will gradually diminish. Once you've overcome this emotional turmoil, take a moment to appreciate your strength in managing your emotions. You will see for yourself that you hold the power to walk away from any man for any reason, and that no man can manipulate you or dominate you if you don't allow it.
If you're in a relationship where you're not treated right, let go. Don't waste energy questioning his motives or justifying his actions. Avoid making excuses for his mistreatment. Don't let emotions lead you to be exploited or hurt further. Overcoming rejection or heartbreak is challenging but necessary.
Make deliberate efforts to guide your life with logic rather than emotion when making crucial decisions about what's best for you and your future. This doesn't imply shutting off all feelings; indeed, they'll be there even after logical decisions have been made. Emotionality isn't negative; as stated by Kara King, it's one of the unique and beautiful qualities women possess. Your emotionality is what allows you to be a compassionate and empathetic human being. However, when emotions interfere with decision-making processes, they can lead to problems. Mastering emotions restores control of your love life back into your hands.
By enhancing your emotional intelligence you can gain better control over your emotions and focus on the present, instead of dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties. If you are interested in working on your emotional intelligence, a great book to read is Emotional Intelligence by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves.
Hold Your Ground, Don’t Plead, and Make Him Face the Fallout!
A major pitfall many women fall into is groveling and begging a man who has not been treating her right. If this is you, avoid this at all costs! Uphold your dignity and exercise self-restraint. Refrain from any interaction with him and avoid any contact. Let him face the severe fallout of his behavior: losing you. His loss is due to his own foolishness in messing things up, not something you should be expressing regret for.
An effective way to go no contact is to distract yourself with 'filler dates,' as Kara King suggests. Dating again can divert you from your heartache, occupying your time, boosting your spirits and also reinforcing how much men find you attractive. You're not expected to fall for or even like these men—they're just distractions. Kara advises not to feel guilty, as men often use women similarly!
Kara King suggests making a "Things I Hate About You" list to help you get over someone. Write down everything about this person that annoyed or hurt you, no matter how small. Include specific incidents that led to fights or hurt feelings. On tough days, read your list and laugh at their absurdities and shortcomings. Eventually, you'll wonder how you ever found this flawed person appealing.
Tame the Urge: Manage Your Feelings When Meeting a New Guy and Let Him Chase!
When you meet or develop feelings for a new guy, it is crucial to control your emotions. This includes refraining from reaching out to him excessively through phone calls, text messages, or comments on social media. Instead of being the pursuer, engage in light flirting, exercise patience and allow him to make the first move. If he fails to do so, it can be interpreted as an indication that he is not interested in pursuing a relationship with you.
Controlling your emotions early in a relationship is important for three reasons. First, men don't like uncertainty. When you keep your feelings in check, they become curious about your true intentions and work harder to understand them. This mystery makes them pursue you more. Second, men enjoy the thrill of chasing someone who isn't always available. It's a natural instinct for them. Letting him come to you instead of always reaching out can help in the early stages of a relationship. Lastly, rushing into a relationship without taking time to know each other can lead to regrets. Giving the relationship time to grow naturally allows both people to see if they are compatible. By controlling your emotions and not rushing, you increase the chances of building a strong foundation for a successful relationship.
When starting a new relationship or talking to a new guy, try to be the one to end the call most of the time. Give reasons for why you have to go before it starts. This shows that you're busy and not clingy. It also makes him wonder if you're interested.
Know the Value of Your Pussy and the Power It Holds
Pussy is a highly valuable asset, with men willing to pay top dollar for it. If it were traded on the stock market, its market cap would surpass Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft combined. But the price range of pussy varies greatly, going from free to millions of dollars.
Think about this for a moment, when you give things for free, you are communicating to other people that those things don't have any value. People don’t appreciate what they didn’t have to work for, and will even develop a sense of entitlement for more. Many women fail to recognize that men need sex, and by using your pussy as leverage, you can have complete control over everything. As you start to appreciate and value your vagina, men in your life will also do the same.
King advises women to set an "asking price" of what they want from a relationship, and only "sell" (commit) when a man is willing to meet that price through his actions and treatment of her. She is not encouraging you to "sell sex", but rather to clearly determine your expectations from a man and acknowledge that your pussy can be a powerful tool in obtaining what you desire. When you choose to enter into a committed relationship and give your heart to a man, is what Kara King means by "selling".
While numerous men will exploit a woman's emotional vulnerabilities, you have the power to turn this around on them and manipulate their sexual desires. This is their Achilles' heel, something they find impossible to resist.
According to Kara King, men do not want a slut and will not love a slut. Men crave a woman who maintains her dignity and self-respect. A man will cherish a woman who is wise enough to know she doesn't need to have sex with him in order to be liked. The kind of woman that a man truly adores projects an aura that confidently communicates: "I am not easily won over and you'll need to invest time and effort if you wish to win my heart because I am extraordinary."
How Long Should You Wait to Have Sex With a Man?
One of the most common missteps a lot of women tend to make is prematurely engaging in sexual activities with a man. This act essentially hands over the reins to him, allowing him to potentially manipulate your feelings. The moment a man gets sex from you, his interest often dwindles. Make him put in the effort; he's more likely to cherish, appreciate and value the things he’s had to patiently wait and work for.
Don't go losing any sleep if he goes seeking satisfaction elsewhere if you don't provide it; if he opts for that route, then he wasn't worth it from the start. The right person will have no problem with waiting and will do so willingly.
So, when is the right time? When he has proven himself worthy of it. Kara King recommends waiting at least 60 days in order to assess whether his feelings towards you are sincere or not. If after two months of being denied sex, he remains patient and understanding, then it's clear that his intentions aren't exploitative towards you. However, don't disclose how long you intend to make him wait; keep that under wraps! Otherwise, he might accept your challenge purely for the satisfaction and triumph at the end.
Before you give up your pussy, test this guy a bit. A man who genuinely cares for a woman will go out of his way for her, and you can evaluate this by observing if his actions align with his words. For instance, create a scenario where you need assistance, like needing your car repaired from the driveway. Reach out to him for help and gauge his reaction. This method will provide you with the necessary insight you need. This strategy which Kara King dubbed the "Prince Charming Test", focuses on observing your man's behavior. If he is readily available to support you without expecting sexual intimacy in return consistently, then it's evidence that he cherishes you and has genuine affection towards you.
Once he has successfully passed your tests and you're ready to escalate things, make sure you sever all ties with other men in your life. Then engage him in an open discussion before getting sexually intimate with him. This is an opportunity to lay all cards on the table: express your wants, set expectations and understand his as well. Be clear about wanting a committed relationship and monogamy; don't mince words as men tend to be straightforward creatures who often miss subtle hints.
If he agrees and is on the same page with you about being in a committed relationship, then it's okay to become physically intimate; if he refuses or shows reluctance towards what you want from him or seems uncertain about it all, withhold sex and be prepared to find another man who meets your needs.
Let's Talk About Sex
When it comes to discussing your sexual history, it is best to keep it a mystery. Men generally do not want to hear about your past experiences in bed, such as your fuck buddy or that one wild night you had. They do not appreciate hearing about you having sex with other men, especially if they have feelings for you. It can be a major turning point in a relationship if they hear something they don't like. Therefore, it is important to never disclose the number of partners you've had. Be vague and uninformative when it comes to your past. Despite their initial curiosity, men often realize they don't actually want to know the details until it's too late and then they can't get the images out of their head. If a guy is pushing for information, just say “ I’m a lady and I don’t talk about that.”
Kara King advises to not engage in oral sex unless they have earned it and deserve it. By going down on a man without him having earned it, you will lose his respect. Oral sex should be more difficult to obtain than regular sex and should be saved for a special man who meets certain criteria. In fact, do not engage in any kind of sex with a man when first dating him and wait until he has earned it. If a man expects oral sex, be upfront and assert that you only engage in such activities with someone you are deeply committed to. If a man has a problem with this, he is likely just trying to use you for a blow job.
When faced with the pressure to have sex, it is important to assert your boundaries and not give in to societal expectations. If a man starts pressuring you after only a few weeks or one date, it is crucial to stand your ground. Politely remind him that you are a lady who does not engage in casual sex. If he cannot respect your decision, it is essential to assert yourself and let him know that you are not the type of person who will be easily swayed. It is important to firmly vocalize your discomfort by saying things like "I have to go" or "No, I don't want to go any further." Strong self-respecting women do not allow themselves to be used or taken advantage of. If the man genuinely likes you, he will respect your wishes and stick around without pressuring you. Until you find a man who is deserving of your affection, it is important not to give away your most precious asset for free.
When you genuinely like someone and believe he deserves something more intimate, you can take things to the next level by kissing, making out, and engaging in some light touching. You can even let him touch your breasts. However, it's important to establish boundaries before things escalate. Make it clear to him that you are not willing or ready to go any further. And if at any point you feel uncomfortable or want to stop, it's crucial to have the strength to put a halt to it. By allowing him to kiss you and touch your breasts, you're giving him a glimpse of what could be, while still maintaining control over the situation. If he has a problem with this (which he most likely will), simply let him know that you don't appreciate being pushed into doing more than what you want to do.
