    Ooouugghhh, this has just brought back a memory so well hidden I don’t think I ever recalled it in the past 15 years or so.

    It happened when I was around 11 or so. A girl I found super pretty was flirting with me, it was super weird to me because she was very popular and obviously a part of a pack that would quite literally bully me from time to time.

    Well eventually I fell in love and asked if she wants to be my girlfriend. Turned out she was just playing on my emotions just to shame me and break my heart.

    This is truly some of the most vile and damaging form of bullying I can imagine.

      Boys that age will have a fist fight and be friends the next week. Girls are attempting to ruin each others lives.

        Nah dude, the girls rarely ever bully boys, while boys will bully others for years without end - just for not being like them.

        EDIT: yeah, I forgot you can’t have a regular conversation over here without double checking every single fact as opposed to casually sharing your life experiences

          Girls are mean as hell what are you talking about. They are worse than dudes for being mean if not physical violence.

          I rephrased my comment but I disagree. Girls are just as likely to bully others as boys are they just do it differently.

          maybe not straight up to boys’ faces, but you can bet your ass some girls will bully or instigate bullying

          This is well known to be false, and is probably just a reflection of your own experiences.

          Boys’ bullying tends to be more direct, physical, and in-group/out-group oriented. Eg, the football team calls the fat kid a nerd and shoves him in a locker.

          Girls’ bullying tends to be indirect, social, and oriented around group heirarchy. Eg, The popular girl who spreads a rumor about another popular girl’s promiscuity.

          I don’t want to diminish the painful experiences many have had with the more masculine form of bullying - but the upside is that if you want it to stop, there is an obvious solution. Conform and perform. If you’re a nerd getting bullied by the football team, you can stop getting bullied by becoming a good football player. If you are being bullied in the feminine way, however, you might not even know it. And if you do, there is not a well-defined way to stop it.

    i had a girlfriend who did shit like this. it was like her kink or something to try and make me jealous and angry. she used to get so angry because it never worked because I’m not the jealous type at all. I even let her go on dates with other dudes, but only if i i could go out with other girls. (fair is fair!) the 2nd date i went on she lost it and called it off, because her dates with dudes were not making me jealous but my dates with girls were making her extremely jealous.

    she was a terrible person, yes. and a liar. but god damn was she a freak in the sack and she was the only woman i ever dated who didn’t hate me for having hobbies or woman friends. I just wish she had no been a nutcase, emotionally. i would have married her had she not been so massively insecure and weird.

      I wonder if that was a normal dynamic with her parents? Could she have normalized it from there? Although it sounds like there’s a lot more going on here than just that.

    Befriend her BF, get him into multiplayer gaming, Lego, and Warhammer, and let him ruin his relationship with her as he gets deeper into these hobbies.

    That’ll show her.

    Ugh this shit

    Girl probably gives the loser the time of day and gives off “mixed signals” by being nice to other humans
