I’d avoid that reply. It sounds like a good way to find out she’s actually selective about whom she does or does not flake on, by one day running into her with a charming, brawny boyfriend who can easily beat the crap out of you, whom she decided to be unwaveringly nice and trustworthy to, and seeing her laugh at you in your face, making it very clear what an absolute loser you are to her.

You were too nice to her. I would have just told her "Yeah, yeah, yeah cut the bs and screw off."


There was a guy I dated for a few months before I met my current boyfriend and he ghosted me. Then like a year later after I was already with my currrent boyfriend, contacts me on facebook and for some reason, it was so stupid I was being nice. I suppose he started out civil enough but then he started getting a bit personal asking stuff about my boyfriend and then informed me 'I'm just not a guy girls like.' I was so pissed I blocked him and that was it....Seriously I did really like him, tried to contact him for like two months after he ghosted me only to receive no reply and he tells me 'well I guess I'm just not a guy girls like.'

Its like here is an idea maybe don't f***king ghost them, maybe I should have told him that before I blocked him, but I was too angry to type anything.

Some women are really laughable and hilarious.


Why are you criticizing her skin for aging in a normal way?

I'm going to drop some wisdom on all of you:
Men are raised from a young age to not show weakness.
Women are raised from a young age to placate and care-take.

Sometimes men act indifferent to not seem vulnerable.
Sometimes women act interested to not seem dismissive.

We are all doing the best we can.

Some of us grow up utterly clueless to the act we’re supposed to be playing, and naturally fail miserably at it.

But there’s another, pretty clear pattern:

If men act indifferent, it means they’re actually interested; if women act interested, it means they’re actually indifferent. Therefore, the default state of the man is to be interested, while the default state of the woman is to be indifferent. In short, men want women; women want to be left the hell alone.

That was very strange behaviour on her part. It would have been better for her to keep her mouth shut instead of trying to rub it in. You should get revenge by living your best life. A successful life is the best revenge of all.

What if she is actually brave and just enjoys wasting your time and leaving you in angst by denying you any resolution?

Because it means her dating quest won’t get easier if she doesn’t adjust her attitude; humans are not immortal.

Ghosting guys who she thinks of as “decent” is a sign of poor attitude.

She is exactly like Sweetleaf’s ex date guy.

It sounds like there was truly something off about her as she appeared to live in a fantasy world.

Anyway, my laughable stories.

1. I had a huge crush on male who is also on the spectrum who turned me down because he was not only shallow but had unrealistic expectations. Basically, he was a geek and a cute one at that but he only wanted to date and marry a girl who was an ultra-high geek who spoke his language and I didn't meet that category. Some problems though
1. He was unemployed
2. He lived with his parents
3. He battled major depression
4. Everyone else had to fix themselves while he didn't do a thing to help himself
5. Though he went to college to be a mechanical engineer, he often whined he was too 'Autistic' to have such a career and how he was too low functioning to date me.
6. He did inappropriate things like crawling in a movie theater so that other people could see a movie and licking the back of a hand of another lady who also liked him.
7. Everything and everyone often pushed his buttons
8. He was really rigid.

Sure he broke my heart and I was angry with him but.... :lol:

In terms of the "Crawling in the movie theater" and the "Licking" they were "Acceptable" in his eyes but when I made telephone pranks on him, that was "Childish" and he would go, "You're losing major points with me." He also complained about how "Immature" I was whenever I joked with people which were at the level of a 12-year-old. :lol:

He did other weird things there inappropriate:
1. A few times there was dancing going on and he would kick everyone off the dance floor to do all of these "Moves" he called "Dancing to the theme of the music." His moves are things that people would want to see on Youtube which would go viral. :lol:

He kept asking me to bend over backwards and to "Impress me" with my intelligence and I would win his heart. Yet, he didn't do one thing to impress me.

She probably won't die single, she probably will end up settling for someone who's gonna beat the stuffing out of her. Especially as she gets older and realizes how small her dating pool is shrinking. Its hard enough out there for a woman but especially for a woman who continues to play games far into their adulthood.
