Right?! I mean, I know I'm as guilty as expecting things on the internet to be instantaneous (what do you MEAN I can't watch the new ep of America's Next Top Model RIGHT NOW?), but dude. Chill. I gotta get paid.

I've read most of the response to your question, and also your responses to them. The problem is that you asked a question to which you were not really interested in answers. You "asked" just so that you could answer it yourself and share how you think the world should work with everyone. You were not really…
No lie, I would probably wait in Herald Square until the heat melted my flesh off if I thought I might see Idris Elba.
That is clearly and demonstrably not what happened. Many many many of us tried, in vain, to explain to you why you were wrong. Then, hilariously enough, you did the very thing you were instruction women not to do; you didn't respond! Irony! If only you had been nicer and clearer and more honest in your interaction…
You "don't have any interest in participating in discussions that are going to devolve into screaming and shouting?" You mean like women who don't answer texts because they have no interest in participating in a discussion that is going to devolve into screaming and shouting? Huh. If only there was some analogy…
He doesn't want to talk to you. You should keep replying to him for the next several days. Let him get a taste of what women experience.
OH NO LADIES WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT THIS MAN'S ATTENTION. QUICK, BEG HIM TO COME BACK SO HE CAN SCOLD US SOME MORE. SAY MORE THINGS HE WON'T LISTEN TO, PLEASE, MAYBE SOMEDAY HE'LL GIVE US HIS APPROVAL.
I don't have a home phone, I just don't like that people think I should drop everything for them in non emergency situations. Sometimes I am not available and everyone in the world can just deal with that fact.
Sooo... you didn't read a single thing any person said, I guess? Just gonna ignore all the women pointing out that men insult/assault them after saying no? Cool, cool. Glad you GUESS you would agree despite not even bothering to listen to what the issue is.
But male feelings are at stake here! Don't you know that's the most important thing?
So, you think your desire to get more straightforward responses is more important than our very real fears that a hard "no" will be met with harassment or even violence?
Being close to a woman does not mean that you understand anything about women. There are many, many married misogynists. Your wife is not your shield. You are still speaking from privilege, from the knowledge that you will never have to actually deal with this scenario so you are completely safe in your position of…
You need to listen to the many women here who are telling you precisely why you are wrong.
I used to agree with you. Then I met this guy on OKC. I had made a profile exclusively for the purpose of reading other people's crazy profiles and had no interest in actually dating anyone. A guy messaged me who seemed really cool, so I fessed up to what my deal was. He thought I was funny, so we chatted a lot. The…
Then why do you presume a woman who doesn't respond individually to 50+ messages from men she is not interested on a daily basis is dishonest? You are not owed a response because you sent me a message that says "Hi ur hot" (or even if you sent me something more intelligent than that).
"There's a chance these guys are being a bit over-sensitive..." If you think all of this is only a "bit" oversensitive, I would hate to see what you consider to be "a lot" oversensitive.
As a guy who did the dating site thing (where I met my fiance) I hear you, but I disagree. Random people don't deserve the sort of total honesty you're pitching here, out of the box. That's something you earn over the course of a relationship with someone.
Sure, just keep on ignoring all the links and info from women responding to you and keep repeating your idiotic question. Totally worth our time. P.S. stop creeping women out on OKC.
Because when you say "NO" most men take it as "MAYBE if I just push hard enough!"
