Aries love fights so they can win and keep their leg up on everyone. I've always disarmed my Aries by recognizing ASAP what they are doing and then concede and go back to asking them how I can help them with their goals, and remind them that i care about their happiness. They get BORED and TIRED OF IT when they realize they don't need to take or win because you are on their side. Just be real with them and enjoy the ride or walk away.

He is so selfish and topnotch insensitive. It has to always about him. Wants to control everything. Wants to do everything his way. In a relationship comprises ate expected. This one doesn't even want to compromise. It has to be his way. See let me tell you, if anybody hurts an aries man, it's definitely because the aries man has hurt them first. And most times they don't even believe that they are wrong. <br /><br />They're definitely babies who blames everyone's else for their wrong doings but themselves. <br /><br />If I loose this my aries, I will not regret a single thing. All he did was bring out the worse in me. I used to be very caring, loving and generous. But I decided never to be the only one giving. Aries are focused and intelligent. No matter how much they say they love you, just know that you come right behind their career. They put their career first before anything.

But you failed to point out that the very reason most demanding and controlling women became that way in the first place is precisely because they were let down by the men in their lives. That is, the men in their lives - father, brother, husband - have time and again proven themselves unreliable and/or untrustworthy. As a result, these women learned that men cannot and should not be trusted and in a desperate attempt to ensure their own wellbeing, they (the women) have to control everything in order to make sure they get what they want/need. Unfortunately, this does NOT in fact get them what they want/need, but you see where these women's controlling and demanding tendencies came from - they were necessitated by unreliable, untrustworthy men in their lives (especially during their formative years) who have failed to protect, care for, and provide for those women.<br /><br />There is a Youtube video-blogger called RC Blakes who talks about marriage and romantic relationships, and he said it well: Respect and submission are a natural response from women to the trustworthy leadership by men (paraphrased). As you said in another article, women are born more or less gentle and compassionate by nature; none of them were born controlling or demanding - they were made that way. So, while women do have their role to play in the direction of a relationship, ultimately the most important factor is the man in that relationship. As you say, mother nature designed men to be the leaders - for better or for worse, and so ultimately the most important deciding factor is the person who is steering that ship - the man. A woman can be nurturing and encouraging until she dies, but that won't do much for the relationship if the man himself is a selfish, immature, insecure loser at heart who's subconsciously relying on the woman in his life to lead, to kiss his booboos, to wipe his mouth after he eats, to wipe his ass after he poops, to clean up the messes he makes, and to tell him what a amazing person he is even as he's gambling away her hard-earned money while he himself refuses to work.WWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546833021342142499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783791137245127.post-87034513066110693012023-06-14T10:41:37.772-04:002023-06-14T10:41:37.772-04:00I don't need this man to buy me dinner or an i...I don't need this man to buy me dinner or an ice cream cone. I can buy my own dinner. I can purchase my own ice cream cone. But if he buys me dinner, then I know a few things instantly. I know that:<br /><br />1) he's treating me special (so now I'm going to begin to view him as MORE THAN A FRIEND). <br />2) he's showing he's willing to provide which is attractive to women on a primal level (so now I'm going to begin to develop an attraction towards him). <br />3) he's showing that he's willing to put effort into our relationship (so I'm going to begin to reciprocae that effort back to HIM so as to create a healthy energy exchange of equal give and take that's mutually balanced). <br /><br />That ONE dinner has now shifted this man from the friend zone into the zone of romantic possibility as a potential mate. <br /><br />I'm now viewing him different from the way I view my male friends. I'm also now interacting with him differently than my male friends. In my mind, this guy's special because he's treating me and our relationship special. <br /><br />That one kind gesture at dinner suddenly became a complete game changer. I know exactly where I stand with this man. I know what his intentions are for me. I know that he's intending for us to be more than just friends and that there's romantic interest there.<br /><br />Had he not done that for me, had he not bought me dinner, I would've walked away thinking he's a nice guy and we'll likely be friends but nothing more. I would not view him as a romantic possibility (because he did not participate in any courtship behaviors of a romantic nature).<br /><br />And as far as this statement "Ladies are not a prize, and men are not leaders or pursuers" - go tell that to Mother Nature. <br /><br />Tell Mother Nature's creatures (all of whom participate in mating rituals and behaviors on some level) that that behavior is no longer necessary. They can all just be buddies, not lift a finger for one another, hang out together ... and watch the decline of the species ensue until extinction arrives. <br /><br />Anthropology is real. Cultural and biological behaviors are what prompts the continued evolution, development and existence of the human species. <br /><br />If your views do not align with those stated here that's fine. You do you. But courtship rituals serve a definitive purpose. And when people cease participating in them, that's when you see confused people everywhere sharing their stories, "I don't know where I stand with this guy. I'm so confused. He treats me like we're just friends. But he keeps asking to see me. Does he just want to be friends? Or do you think he is interested in me and just doesn't know how to show it?"<br /><br />Lack of participation in courtship rituals = people left frustrated and confused with valuable connection opportunities missed.The Mirror of Aphroditehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689196498901454883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783791137245127.post-75428292376557568722023-06-14T10:41:07.241-04:002023-06-14T10:41:07.241-04:00@Anonymous June 14 at 3:38AM,
Your definition of a...@Anonymous June 14 at 3:38AM,<br />Your definition of a relationship is your own. If what you've read here isn't in alignment with your views, then it's likely best to not visit again as this content clearly isn't of value to you.<br /><br />However, I will respond by providing my own opinion for the benefit of readers since you took the time to comment.<br /><br />The relationship you're describing is that of roommates, friends and companionship and nothing more by virtue of its definition. Here's your definition of a romantic relationship "I don't find you abhorrent so we should hang out together independently." <br /><br />Now here's the formal definition of roommates "a person occupying the same room as another." The formal definition of friendship "a person known well to another and regarded with liking." And the definition of companionship "a feeling of fellowship."<br /><br />The definition of romantic love is very different from what you've stated. The definition of romantic love is "a feeling of love for, or a strong attraction towards another person, and the courtship behaviors undertaken by an individual to express those overall feelings and resultant emotions."<br /><br />Without those courtship behaviors, it's nothing more than friendship. It's the courtship behaviors that differentiate friendship and companionship from a romantic relationship. <br /><br />What you're describing does not contain any COURTSHIP BEHAVIORS. There are no behaviors present to generate and elicite romantic feelings. Without courtship behaviors there's nothing romance related AT ALL. So what you're left with is nothing more than friendship. <br /><br />If a guy takes me on a date and doesn't pay, that's fine, that's great. I'm going to view him as nothing more than my friend. And I'm going to begin approaching that relationship as friendship. Because that's what his actions have signaled to me. He hasn't participated in any courtship behaviors that would signal to me that he has a romantic interest in me. So I will proceed accordingly as friends.<br /><br />Cont ...The Mirror of Aphroditehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689196498901454883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783791137245127.post-79419032371584972232023-06-14T03:38:54.984-04:002023-06-14T03:38:54.984-04:00This advice is nonsense.

Everyone should simply take care of themselves, even in a relationship. Relationships aren't about doing things for each other, they are simply an expression saying "Hey, I don't find you abhorrent, and you seem to feel similarly about me, so we should both do our own independent activities, but in the general proximity of each other". Nothing more, nothing less. Now woman or man should be pursued, and no one should pay for anyone in life but themselves (that goes for children as well).

Where people get time to be so focused on others if you were on their purpose and life's mission. No one is all good and all bad. Find people who give some and get some while you give some and get some too. No manly man can be controlled by or dominated by a woman. Aries man require a woman to be a woman while he is the man. Why so much women expect men to be at their beckon and call. A man need to focus on building himself and working his own issues. Someone focusing on themselves is a sign you should be too and women need to find thing to do outside the relationship and stop being a clingy.

At first it was all good. He was fun and funny and omg the sex was fire lol even now im like....ughh...the sex thoooo lol and i hate his ass! but I noticed he didn't like anyone in my life like after 3 months in. None of my friends not my family. He'd find little things to point out and try to get me to hate them and make it seem like I CAME UP WITH IT lol. They're soooo goooood at that shit too. Anyhoo he little by little cut me off from everyone. And I let him because he ruled every part of my life before I had a chance to grow up and realize.....this ain't a normal relationship. I was 21 when we met and very immature. He cut me off even from my hobbies I loved. He was VERY manipulative and would guilt me and gas light me allllll the time. Like for instance I'm not a fighter I'm a virgo I mean I cannnnn get there and he would litt get me there almost like he found it to be a goal to get me so mad I'd freak out and eventually break down and cry. But one time.....I said I was calling my mom to come get me .I'm done. it's not right this relationship sucks and I cnt remember last time I was happy. He got SO MAD he started accusing me of cheating cuz....goddddd knows its the only reason id have to leave him....he never did shit wrong lol. But I stopped yelling and just.....started packing my shit and ignored his ass while he went on a baby tantrum for a good two hours. when I got done I started to look for my cat and he walked down the hall way towards me and she was between us and he kicked her HARD into a wall and I screamed and freaked out like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??? he's like what? I didn't touch her. I LITT JUST WATCHED YOU KICK HER INTO A WALL WTF ARE YOU HIGH??? nope wldnt admit to it he didn't kick my cat into a wall I'm crazy and emotional lol. Worst part of that break up ...was two weeks later I found out i was preg w twins and went back to him. Worst mistake I everrrr made. Years later he ruined all my relationships w everyone i knew....and Hes now manipulating my kids into hating me. Like OPENLY lol. I mean he swears hes not doing it but my one daughter actually went to the school therapist and said my dad's horrible and says bad stiff about my mom and I don't know how to tell him to stop. Aparently when she says please dad....thats my mom he says OH YEAH YOUR PERFECT MOMMY CNT DO ANYTHING WRONG OR BAD RIGHT IM ALWAYS THE BAD GUY. I litt never even tlk about him because I know that its litt abuse to little kids and I finally just told him I'm going to take him to court for full custody because he's brain washing two little kids and he FINALLLLLLLY knocked his shit off enough to sit down and tlk to me about everything only cuz he was terrified of the courts. Not cuz he cared about my feelings. He also never got me a single card,birthday gift, anniversary gift valentines card nothing in all the years we were together and I being a virgo....oh I live for that crap ill take three months planning a gift lol. I in return tho am nit materialistic. I dnt....I mean I l9ve gifts everyone does but I dnt need em. I never missed one single thing I even made his ass Easter baskets and the last Easter we were together.....I said fuck this you ain't getting anymore of my time or effort and he had the biggest cry baby fit about that Easter basket lmao. It made me realize who i was with. Now I dnt believe all aries are this way. I do believe some are they just......I dunno for a virgo to be w an aries and make it work....it's gonna take Alot of work on his part and hers.

That takes away his masculinity. He even told me he feels like shit about himself because I am so much better than him.
