Hi, my name is Antone Christopher and I am the author of The Bitter Man's Guide to Dating and The Bitter Woman's Guide to Dating and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment I'd like to talk about mats. It's abbreviation for Mental Abuse Takers. Don't be a doormat, you do not need to be this kind of person. This is the kind of girl that would go out with a guy and she'll date him whether it's a short period of time or a long period of time and she'll be kind of mentally abused by him and sometimes physically abused. This is just so disrespectful to yourself, you should never ever go out with a guy that doesn't respect you or treat you with respect. Don't be doormat, don't be a mental abuse taker, this is the worse thing that you could ever be. You need to be independent and get out and get away from people like this. It really frustrates me to see people that are not being respected whether it's a guy or a girl and women will stay in these relationships time and time again for years saying I can change him, don't worry he's not that bad, but meanwhile they're being disrespected and abused. You've got to get out, have self respect for yourself and move away from this person that is of ill nature basically. He's negative and you don't want that. You need to get away, move on and find a very good guy who is going to appreciate you and respect you. You need to respect yourself by getting away from him. Do not be a doormat.
