  Men who are damaged- or dangerous-explain away their bad behavior. Learning to eliminate extraneous details from their excuses and distill what they say will enable you to see through to the true meaning. Examples:
HE SAYS: "call me on my cell phone. i'Il never use my homephone." DESTILLED VERSION: "Don't call my home phone." TRUE MEANING: "I'm married or involved with someone." HE SAYS: "I've never really had a true friend because I'm not outgoing." DESTILLED VERSION: "I've never had a friend." TRUE MEANING: "When people get to know me, they run the other way." HE SAYS: "I'm gonna hit the men's room again. Three times in an hour might be a record for me." DISTILLED VERSION: "I'm going to the men's room for the third time." TRUE MEANING: "I use cocaine." HE SAYS: "No one has ever understood me like you do." DISTILLED VERSION: "No one has ever understood me." TRUE MEANING: "People don't understand me because i'm a mess psychologically." HE SAYS: "I called eight times during lunch because I want to know where you are. I worry about you." DESTILLED VERSION: "I called eight times during lunch." TRUE MEANING: "I think I own you."  |
