[X&Y] 6 Ways To Tell If She's Psycho
Published: Sun, 12/18/16

=====
IN THIS EDITION: Unfortunately, a bunch of us as men have
come to believe that decidedly erratic or downright crazy
behavior is really "normal" for women. That's simply not
true. Here's how to tell the difference between "normal"
and NOT "normal".
=====
EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO THIS
If you don't know how to do this one specific thing, then
you're missing out on one of the great thrills available to
you in this life.
Fortunately, the skill is an easy one to learn:
This Makes Women Happy...
Hey...it's true that I'm talking about how to avoid psycho women
in today's newsletter.
But don't confuse that with the raw beauty of driving them
crazy yourself:
...And It Makes You Happy Too
Oh, I should probably tell you that this is probably "not
safe for work".
And now, on to the part that's never safe for ANYONE...
=====
ARE YOU RATIONALIZING A WOMAN'S IRRATIONAL BEHAVIOR?
If you know me, you know by now that I generally write positive
emails. I talk a lot about how to become a better man who gets
better women. In my mind, that's what it's all about.
Today, I'm going to write to you about women I'm positive you
should avoid.
But first, a caveat. I've been driven to the point of having to
write this.
You see, I've seen a disturbing trend lately. Guys are calling and
e-mailing with stories of flat-out preposterous behavior from women
and asking me if it's "normal".
Let me tell you, man...it's not.
When you tell a woman you need more time to think about an
exclusive relationship at 10pm the night before, you're NOT
supposed to wake up at 5am the morning after to her standing on
your bed straddling you with a butcher's knife in her hands.
And that goes double if you've never given her a key to your
apartment.
And it goes TRIPLE if you've never told her where you live.
No, that's not "normal" behavior.
And yes, that was a real story from an actual guy wondering if he
should excuse her for such a "minor infraction".
Let me tell you, that's just one of many, many examples I've been
hearing lately.
Yet shockingly, the recurring theme is that guys really are
attempting to rationalize behavior like that, wondering if they
should just pass it off as either a fluke or something that they
should simply expect from women in general.
I don't care how good she looks, gentlemen. All women are NOT
stark raving nuts.
And there's no coming to terms with women who are.
Rationalizing equals settling. And in this case, the particular
brand of settling you are dealing in could have particularly
devastating ramifications if left unchecked.
So here it is guys, but only because it appears to be necessary:
"6 Ways To Tell If She's Psycho", or "A Half-Dozen Types Of
Behavior That Are Irrational".
1) If She'd Already Be In Jail If She Was A Man
The vignette I shared above is a shining example of what I'm
talking about here. If you are attempting to rationalize behavior
on a woman's part that you are sure would have landed you in the
slammer for a night (or longer), then you're not thinking clearly
yourself.
Whether it's assault, shoplifting, blackmail, public drunkenness or
whatever, the root cause of your rationalization is probably a deep-
seated feeling that only male behavior is BAD behavior, and that
women are born with a halo that protects them from legal
consequences.
Well, last I checked there was only one code of law. I've never
known there to be consequential distinctions between male and
female infractions.
Ask yourself, if a guy ever did what happened here to a woman, how
would you feel about it? What should his consequences be? Then,
realize the yardstick measures equally regardless of gender.
2) If Your Personal Safety Is Jeopardized
If you go to bed at night thinking she might kill you in your sleep,
and if you're considering hiring a "royal taster" to make sure she
isn't poisoning your tea, I'd say there's a very real issue...obviously.
This also holds true if she has plate-throwing fits of rage like a
scene from "The Godfather".
Okay, so maybe you messed up and gave her reasonable grounds
to get upset. That doesn't mean she gets to be utterly violent about
it and/or vindictive over the long term.
For the record, I'd probably lump "terrifying driving habits" into this
category also.
3) Extreme Double Standards
Picture this. She has a couple hundred "really, really good guy
friends" whom she's decidedly got the "touchy/feelies" for.
When you casually bring up that you felt disrespected at that last
house party, she levels a stream of invective upon you that would
make the most raging alcoholic jealous. (Oh yeah, while I'm on the
subject, "raging alcoholism" counts as "psycho" also.)
Meanwhile, you can't even remember the "waitress that was flirting
with you" five weeks ago while at lunch at some restaurant you no
longer recall the name of.
But today she decided your life should be miserable because of
whatever you said to her or however you smiled at her...whoever
she was.
4) Compulsive Behavior
Something out-of-line happened and now she has called you 147
times between midnight and 6am. She's sorry. She's wondering if
you still love her.
And you're wondering if this is "normal".
Look man, if every woman called us 147 times in a six hour period
nothing would ever have been accomplished by now over the entire
history of mankind. Heck, we'd still be playing with sticks and rocks.
Never mind that we wouldn't ever have invented the telephone to
begin with. You get my point.
It's not like "147" is the "magic number", either. The first call could
be all the evidence you need.
One guy called me this very morning to ask me if a woman ringing
him at 3am "just to see if he was home" was "normal".
By the way, he called me at a reasonable hour in case you can't help
but wonder.
But anyway, If something like that ever happens to you, say this:
"OK, I've got a deal for you. YOU promise NEVER to call me at 3am
like that again, and I'LL promise not to answer the phone."
Sounds like a fair deal to me.
5) Massive Swings
No, not the ones they have on the beach at Spring Break. What
we're talking about here is what I unaffectionately call "Jekyll And
Hyde Syndrome".
Maybe she hasn't been formally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder just
yet, but that doesn't change the fact that you have NO IDEA which
chick is going to show up at any given time--even though you're
reasonably sure she's going to arrive in the same physical body.
One minute she's a sweetheart. The next, she's livid and screaming
at you. You're afraid to look because there might be snakes
squirming out of her head.
Whoa...I promise this is NOT what EVERY woman is like.
And it's not a "given" that you should put up with it, either. In fact,
quite the opposite.
6) Utterly Unreasonable Accusations Or Assumptions
You've been out for a whopping total of twenty minutes filling the
tank in your pickup truck to get ready for your road trip this
weekend.
You walk back into the house and she accuses you of having been
with your "girlfriend" for a "quickie".
Or, she freaks out and tells you to remove the satellites, "invisible"
radio towers and/or hidden microphones from her apartment that
you are obviously using to spy on her and broadcast movies of her
naked in the shower to a global audience.
Nope. I'm not making those up either. They're true stories from
a guy who rationalized them many years ago.
That guy would be, um...me.
Gentlemen, if you are with a woman who demonstrates clear signs
of living in an alternate reality you must realize you are a witness to
clear signs of a very serious mental illness.
Even if you're simply out on a date with her and she casually
mentions how Lilliputians from Mars were back in contact with her
a couple of days ago, that counts.
Indeed, if she's saying things that don't make any sense
whatsoever, let that be a massive red flag.
DO NOT under any circumstances allow yourself to become
entangled in a serious relationship with such a woman, regardless
of how sexy she is.
In fact, I'd highly recommend alerting her family to her erratic
behavior and helping her get some professional help. Seriously.
I genuinely hope that you've never had to face any situations
remotely like the ones I've just described. But then again, I know
better based on the volume of stories I hear.
Here's the bottom line, as always: Men and women are more alike
than different. What would be irrational on your part is equally
irrational on hers.
Neither invite nor excuse this sort of instability when it comes to
the women in your life. Deserve what you want.
