Definition and Warning Signs of “Pimping” in Relationships
Pimping is defined as a man invading a woman’s consciousness to the extent that he:
- Controls her feelings and choices
- Adjusts her standards to suit his interests
This manipulation often happens long before any sexual involvement. Women may unknowingly lose control over their decisions, values, and self-worth.
The “Game” or Stages of Manipulation
-
Learning Your Life Details The man intentionally listens to your personal stories, vulnerabilities, and desires.
-
Overdosing on Time and Romance He spends excessive time with you, becoming emotionally addictive through compliments and attention.
-
Sexual Involvement Sex is used as a tool to create a strong emotional/soul tie, making it difficult to break free.
-
Avoidance of Commitment After gaining control, he avoids commitment or discussions about future stability.
-
Isolation He works to separate you from family, friends, church, and other support systems.
-
Verbal Degradation Eventually, he begins to verbally abuse and degrade you to lower your self-esteem and keep control.
Six Key Signs You Are Being Manipulated (“Pimped”)
