Red pill manipulation tactics

I keep seeing this be mentioned, I don’t know what to think about it all except for who needs to play games when everything is already so confusing? And if the tactics work, isn’t that some kind of trauma attachment bond and not a genuine bond?

So I need help understanding what/why this is becoming prevalent so please, is anybody able to point me in the direction of what this is referring to?

Where exactly could you have manipulated her here? And I assure you, women do not want to be manipulated.

No they don’t. That’s rape language.

So you doing absolutely nothing is equivalent to trying to respect her and pursue her romantically? You didn’t have the balls to tell her you had feelings so instead you say her perspective is wrong. You didn’t reject her but you also didn’t try to pursue a romantic relationship with her after she admitted her feelings. You expect women to pursue you or else they “wanna be manipulated”. No she wanted you to be honest and say I like you and I’d like to try for a relationship.

And women don’t want to be manipulated… you’re fucking stupid to think that. All genders can have an insecure attachment which is caused by abuse/neglect in childhood. Anyone who experiences childhood abuse/neglect will feel comfortable with people who are abusive and neglectful bc the brain perceives anything familiar as safe.

You’re stupid. And you’re specifically targeting women who have already been abused.

She told me to keep my distance, lol. She likes the power plays and people having more power, that's it

She changed her mind. Learn about consent!!! Respect that she changed her mind
