A Stanford psychologist on the art of avoiding assholes

It's been soo long since i've been online. Needed therapy for the people who have lived and give'd. www.vox.com...

What i've learned from being taken by assholes in my life, which nearly killed me all three times in the last 12 years is worth sharing. This is not I repeat NOT focused on Nice Guys (But the rotten guys who are pretending to be kind caring and loving out there who are faking it and taking innocent Women for a ride). You are few and far between. I'm kick boxing now and in the best shape of my life because of dicks. Thank you dicks you brought me back and reminded me that I'm not as insignificant as you've made me feel.

The world is full of assholes. Wherever you live, whatever you do, odds are you’re surrounded by assholes. The question is, what to do about it? Robert Sutton, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has stepped up to answer this eternal question. He’s the author of a new book, The Asshole Survival Guide, which is basically what it sounds like: a guide for surviving the assholes in your life. In 2010, Sutton published The No Asshole Rule, which focused on dealing with assholes at an organizational level. In the new book, he offers a blueprint for managing assholes at the interpersonal level. If you’ve got an asshole boss, an asshole friend, or an asshole colleague, this book might be for you.

When a Woman is alone and made to feel as insignificant as I was made to feel, it's heartbreaking, especially when the Man you trusted, uses, screws and then deletes you like you never existed. Thanks to the last prick, I will never trust Men again.

I love that you are reclaiming your power!!!!

Thanks for sharing this!

Some women are assholes, too.

You're the typical asshole Male the Professor was talking about. But it doesn't take my Womanhood or any others to figure out.

wait, then there'll be no more women, either..... oh, the quandary!!!!

you're the Creepy freak type I'm talking about. The only Creeps that respond the way you just did are the ones who are GUILTY AS HELL.

What If I referred to you as a girly boy with long hair, which would be the opposite of what you insulted me with just now?

Whatsamatter? Did you lose your balls? You have to refer to me as though I was an insignificant female in comparison to your Overt Manly Masculinity? Give me a F####N break. Women have had enough of your kind. Let it go.

Now re read what I said about Good Men. Obviously you weren't one of them.

Here Winner, let me quote myself for your benefit.

This is not I repeat NOT focused on Nice Guys (But the rotten guys who are pretending to be kind caring and loving out there who are faking it and taking innocent Women for a ride).

Oh, sweetheart.....

Please just remove yourself from the equation, in all ways.

My response to you was based off of your "I won't trust those evil men EVAH again" sentiment.


Go date a woman, and come back and tell me your results. And remember to videotape, while you're at it

assholes and dicks. Cool thread.

Here's a little advice my dad gave me many many years ago. Don't rely on a man, men die, men leave, men get sick.
If you are able to take care of yourself you will always be ok. Those words are as true today as there were back then.
However this does not mean, do not love or have a relationship, quite the opposite.

By saying you will never trust a man again you are letting the bad guys win.

Ok, don't go off on me here butttttttttt.. I would also really examine your choice of partners, sounds like you are going after the same type and getting the same end result? I knew a man that would always go after married women because deep down he didn't want a commitment. I also had a girlfriend that went out with guys that treated her like dirt, because she didn't think she deserved better, we could all tell these guys were jerks a mile away but she had her blinders on and would not listen to her friends. Listen to your instincts, listens to your friends and family.

You're whats wrong with the Modern World. Your Significant other must adore you.

Yeah, it looks like your attitude has shaped your feedback.

Emotional, and defensive.
