Bad women always use manipulation as a tool to control men by taking advantage of their vulnerabilities. Manipulators conceal their true intentions in order not to be exposed. I am going to reel out eight techniques that men can use to shut up manipulative women.

Keep a Calm Composure

Manipulative women carry out their act perfectly when their target is having emotional upheaval. It gives them an opening to take advantage of their target by playing on their feelings. It is important that men should learn to how to keep calm when dealing with a manipulative woman.

Once a manipulative woman knows that you are uncompromising with your boundaries, she will keep her manipulative antics to herself. You don’t have to remind her every now and to respect your boundaries, take a decisive action when she flouts them. 

Detach and Observe

Manipulative women are always fond of dragging their target into their cycle of drama and confusion. Don’t allow yourself to be a pawn on the chessboard of a manipulative woman, learn the detach tactics. When she begins her drama, excuse yourself from the situation. A technique called mindfulness will help you to detach from her. Mindfulness motivates people to withdraw mentally and assess scenarios without emotional bias. It also prevents one from inserting themselves in toxic situations created by manipulative women.

Utilise the Efficacy of Body Language 

Aside verbal communication, non verbal cues are used to communicate especially when dealing with a manipulative woman. A man’s body language gives insight into his personality and it can be effectively deployed to put a manipulative woman in her place. A man’s body language is supposed to exude confidence, strength, resilience, and masculinity. A manipulative woman will be dissuaded from her attempting her antics on a man who is standing tall, making eye contact, and maintaining a calm facial expression. Manipulative women always assess the body language of their target in order to know if their tactics is working out. 

Invest in Self-Care

Elevate your social life, visit cinema, attend concerts and recreational places. Once manipulative women see that you are intentional about your self-care, they will run from you.

Seek Support Systems 

A man with good support system can hardly fall under the manipulative spell of a woman. A man whose family members and friends are there for him will not allow a manipulative woman to have her ways with him. They will always be there to give him the needed emotional support and good advice. 

Aside having the support family members and friends, a man can seek professional help if he is overwhelmed by the manipulative tactics of his lover. A professional counsel can provide insights that is devoid of sentiments.

Being assertive requires setting boundaries and expressing your position very clearly. Every man should learn how to practice assertiveness because it portrays strength, self-respect, and buffer against manipulation.
