You know what women don’t like, beloved manfriends? Very few things are as universal here as men being uncaring and cruel. In fact, I’d say you could get just about any woman to dislike you in record time by employing this strategy. It is therefore baffling to me that the alt-right are marketing neglect and being an uncaring, unsupportive partner as some magical dating strategy.

Being cruel to the person who loves you? Bad move, my friend

If you really want a woman to drop you and move on with her life, there’s very little more effective than being a really, really bad partner. Don’t bother to text her for days at a time. Cancel on her and make no attempt to fix up new dates. Never ask her how she is or how she’s feeling. Tell her she’s boring you and her interests are stupid. Never apologise or fix your shortcomings. Tell her you don’t want to spend time with her unless it’s for sex. Anything you think will be hurtful or make her feel let down by you: do it. Sure! You’ll break her heart in the process…
