A lot of the times, men fall in love with women who wouldn’t take them seriously; women who would take them for a ride, toy with their emotions, use them for their personal needs and leave them when they become bored.

Are you chasing a woman who has done all these things to you? Then you need to stop because these six things happen to you when you keep going after that lady.

1. FRUSTRATION

Of course, chasing after such a woman who only wants to take you for a ride would leave you frustrated. You would feel frustrated often; you would feel angry, and you would feel dejected.

2. YOU COULD PICK UP BAD HABITS IN THE PROCESS

Frustration could make a man pick up bad habits. If she has been toying with your emotions and frustrating you, maybe you should take a step back, or you might lose it. A lot of men have taken to alcohol abuse, drug abuse, cigarette smoking and other bad habits when faced with this situation.

3. YOU DO MORE THAN YOU SHOULD

I've seen men go even more than an extra mile to please a woman who keeps toying with their emotions. It’s okay to do what’s necessary to win a woman’s heart, but it should be a woman who’s worth it and it shouldn’t be a woman who’s taking you for a ride.

4. YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK SILLY

Surely the world would call you foolish, and the lady in question would term you so too, and her friends would mock you. The only person losing here is you. And in all honesty, you make yourself look silly when are desperately chasing a woman who’s only taking you for a ride.

5. YOU LOSE OPPORTUNITIES

When you try to be with someone who doesn’t deserve you, you lose sight of other good things. You lose sight of the good things happening in your life and you lose the opportunity to be with someone who would truly love you and treat you right.

6. YOU LOSE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM

Your esteem, your self-belief, and your confidence would be shattered when you chase after someone who would only mock and ridicule you.

Chasing after such a woman would make you feel undervalued, you wouldn’t see the good things in you anymore, you would feel less than competent, and you would feel less a man.

Why kill your manly ego to be with such a woman?

7. YOUR HAPPINESS

When you put yourself in this situation, you end up killing your happiness; you make yourself sad, and you fail to recognise and appreciate the good things happening in your life.

Have you been in this situation? Are you in this situation?

Chasing a woman who would only toy with your emotions is never healthy for you; rather than fight for someone who wouldn’t rather be with you, who would only toy with you and who makes you feel less a man, look for a lady that would see your values and appreciate them.

And at the end of the day, all that glitters aren’t really gold.
