Part of being a real man and not falling into the nice guy “friend zone” is not letting her hurt your feelings easily. Never let her think she hurt your feelings or struck a nerve with you even when she actually does. Just like the age old saying goes, "Never let em see you sweat". When she knows she can hurt your feelings with her words she'll see that as insecurity. And when you really examine it, it is insecurity.

Women can make some really belittling comments without realizing it and sometimes purposely to strike a nerve and test you. That's right; women will actually use these belittling comments to see if you can take it. It's a test to see how much of a man you are. They usually don't even realize they are doing this kind of thing to test us, but make no mistake about it - IT'S A TEST. If you are secure enough in yourself, there's nothing to feel hurt about. You are sure of yourself and nothing she can say or do can bring you down.

The next time a woman says or does anything that hurts your feelings, remember to BE A MAN and let it roll off your shoulders. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn't express yourself when she does or says something disrespectful. You can call her out without letting her know it hurt your feelings.
