She was nude and they had a camera on her. That is the extent of what was "needed to know" to get the hell out of there.

I understand exactly what you're saying. I always call and confirm a date when possible and if not, then I'll text. Just because I'm not a good texting person, I would never use that as an excuse to be rude to someone I'm planning on meeting up with. I'd be irritated if I spent a couple hours getting ready and…

I guess I still don't understand why you think this is something women do a lot more. I agree with you that it's a horrible way to treat someone and the shitty "excuses" that people give for this behavior that you've cited are spot on. But, I've heard those excuses come from men and women alike, and have experienced…

I've been on both sides of this, though the side where the other person pulls the disappearing act far more frequently. You're talking to someone, it seems to be moving in a good direction, then maybe you are a little too enthusiastic about seeing the person again (by too enthusiastic I mean simply wanting to see them…

Xactly. And then he was excommunicated.

Whence he was banished to the Arctic to be eaten by polar bears (if only).

ok, I'm going to give this one shot, what with 12 years of dating ( a variety of men, in a variety of flavors and walks of life, and in a variety of relationship types) and six years of marriage under my belt and all.

Okay not a relationship but I got this ALL.THE.TIME. when I did OKCupid. I'd message a guy, and he'd message me back. Back and forth for days, sometimes WEEKS, that almost never materialized in a date and the guy just finally disappearing. Now I completely get not responding to a person online-but why in the world…

Eh, I don't think it's a gender thing at all. This happens to me as frequently as it happens to my heterosexual guy friends. I think it's simply something immature/cowardly people do. Gender has nothing to do with it.

So basically, girls are fake, high maintenance, shit-talking, nagging annoyances and bros are non-communicative, man-children with a "hey, man, whatever dude" attitude and it's women's fault that relationships go sour because dudes can't act like fucking adults when conflict/problems happen and they hide in their…

And as a woman, me, I want to let you know that you are perpetuating a frustrating status quo that absolves men of any responsibility for how they behave in relationships.

Thanks, Steve Harvey.

Damn. Sniggety Snap. That Ice Cold like Coors.

Oh shut the fuck up.

After dating a guy for a month....

A guy stopped texting me in the MIDDLE of a conversation. That had been going on for a few hours. He was telling me about something he was doing for his business, I asked him a question about it and then... nothing.

"When women do the same thing." I'm going to guess that 90%+ women figure out whether they like a guy before they sleep with him. That's usually why they decide to sleep with a guy. You have to admit going on a few dates with a dude and then texting him that you're not interested (or "fading him out") is not NEARLY as…

Like why can't my next long term boyfriend just materialize on my couch without all this trickery??

My friend is constantly thinking that is the cause for all unanswered texts from men - I tell her it's probably best not to ask.

Not a text but dick pics. When I was dating, dick pics after a day or two of talking. In fact, one of the reasons I kept talking to my now boyfriend is because he didn't send me dick pics at all.
