>>7906638This is where I feel like you've made assumptions about my education, and ignored a key point of my argument. Yes, if it had just been the dinner I would agree with you, but the fact that she allowed him to pay for an entire vacation believes me to think two things. A) She has to know his intentions, there is no way around that, friends don't take friends on spontaneous vacations. Unless maybe they are a celebrity or filthy rich which OP is not. B)If she allowed him to take her on vacation, it is not a jump to say that she is the type of person who would let him pay for dinner with no problem. Then again I wasn't there, but my main point is no societal conditioning would make her believe that friendship was only on his mind, OR force her to go on a vacation with him. That is why I'm saying she is manipulative.
Finally, my studies actually are in Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology, so I feel confident in my assertion that you are full of it. You're ignoring key factors of this case, based off of articles you may have read in some WGSS class. She used OP, I'm not a misogynist but I call a spade a spade. Any decent human, regardless of sex, would have said "No thank you" to an invitation to go on a vacation with a friend and let them pay for everything because of the implications. She's just trying to use him, then let him down softly after all is said and done, but also to reaffirm to all the males on her friends' list that she is not in a relationship with the guy she is on vacation with. My point is not all phenomena in society/people are examples of behavior of a specific group. I.E. OP's Girl can be a bitch without it applying to all girls, just like conditioning that applies to most, if that, girls can not Apply to OP's.
tl;dr OP's girl is a manipulative bitch, but not all women are.
