My name's Stephen O.O. However, something like this hasn't happened to me. It's really easy to get blinded by "love" to where you don't realize what's really happening. I just hope there aren't any other Stevens/Stephens out there tarnishing our good name.

Well there's always this asshole

Different kind of tarnishing though.
Edit: Since TL is international: that's Stephen Harper, prime minister of Canada.

Damn skateboards... we lose more friends that way.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Never take candy with strangers, it probably has herpies.

In my opinion, the root of the issue here really isn't the girl, it's the guy, who appears to be deriving his sense of self-worth and/or feeling of excitement from being with a girl. It could be anything, and it happened to be a girl in this case - so long as your sense of affirmation comes primarily from the external, you're bound to be disappointed.

Of course whoever gets caught in the bad relationship is the root of the problem, but at the same time, the other person isn't that great

Doesn't the "Steven syndrome" happens to 100% of the men after they have sex for the first time ? I mean my first girl wasn't a bitch like the one in Steven story, but had she been one I'm pretty sure that I would have been a Steven, it would've take some time for me to break up. You need some life experience to not be a Steven I think.


Funnily enough, one of the side effects of being a super nice guy is that though I don't get much 'candy' () that little I do get is generally relaxed without much expectation.The girls I know are all awesome, chill and smart. I think this syndrome you're talking about is symptomatic not of genuinely nice guys, but of guys who are kind of desperate, and notnice enough to be able to keep themselves independent.

since I've always been able to make my decisions objectively and shrug off peer pressure or the feminine version of that, I've never had a problem. Girls who want to use me don't get anywhere, or at least they only get what I'm happy to give them, and that means I can maintain relationships along with the rest of my life fairly comfortably.

So I don't think every guy is bound to fall into a servile heap the first time a girl rubs up against him. in a sense it is those most inclined to try and manipulate the situation who are most vulnerable to being manipulated themselves.

I'm glad you wrote this, I was going to write the exact same thing but didn't know how to phrase it. Cheers

I think Steven Syndrome (awesome name, going to use it) affects mostly guys with little to no experience and gets their first girlfriend kinda "late". I know four guys that got their first girlfriends when they were 19-20, it's been like 2 years now and they are still with their first girlfriends even though they get treated badly by them. Only one of them have managed to break free.

One of my friends has something that reminds me of this, but in this case she rejected him but he has done what is described i.e. changed everything about himself (sense of humor, music taste, hobbies) to try and get with her.

Its so bad to watch because he has isolated himself from the group in order to try and get with her and she constantly uses excuses to try and deter him but he just wont listen
