Yeah, don’t use scrubs that use ground walnut shells or something like that. Sticking to sugar based ones is safe. I used to use one that had green tea in it that worked pretty well and wasn’t irritating. Instead of a scrub now, I use a glycolic acid based mask or a fruit enzyme mask in the shower about three times a…

Everything is made of chemicals.

That’s not a double standard. You’ve been using a lot of words and phrases today that just don’t apply.

Women who get upset about being ghosted have their own issues. Obviously, they’re angry. Their behavior, just like men’s behavior when ghosted, shows why it happened. The difference being that a man is more likely to become physically dangerous.

If she ghosts, you need to check your behavior.

I’m a woman. The person who asks for the date pays, male or female. If it’s an agreed meetup, then go Dutch. Asking someone out on a dinner date means you’re paying. Saying “Let’s meet up for coffee,” should mean the bill is split.

You’re a man, aren’t you? No idea what women go through daily to navigate this world.

And when they show up at your job? Or at your local coffee shop? What then?

No, a woman is not a bad person for ghosting someone. You just keeping digging down, deeper and deeper. You’ve been ghosted with good cause.

Your comments on this post are exactly why you get ghosted.

That’s not how it works at all. You’ve never been in that position, so you don’t understand the dynamics. Take Patrick’s advice, and move on.

You are very unlikely to end up dead from a woman being ghosted.

But we don’t know that. We don’t know where you fall in that. And even if you don’t plan to murder us, stalking is a serious issue.

Politely rejecting ends up with the guy wanting to know WHY WHY WHY?! Often the reason is because the guy is not going to take “No/I’m not feeling a connection/I’m not interested” for an answer. So, if this bothers you, blame other men, not the women.

You’ve never head of stalking. Especially worse now with social media. A name and phone number is plenty for someone obsessive to start stalking.

Sorry, no. Wait a week, then move on. You’re not owed any explanation, ever. If there was a connection, she would have gotten back to you.

I’ll take being thought of as rude as opposed to being injured, stalked, or dead.

California minimum wage laws require an employer to count employee travel time as hours worked whenever it requires employees to travel, no matter when the travel occurs. This includes any time employees are required to travel out of town, whether on a one-day or overnight trip. An employer is not required to pay…

At Christmas, we would buy one fancy gift to come from Santa, then two or three other items that the kids had been wanting. The kids were excited to open multiple gifts, but not over excited or overstressed. One year, my MIL did the piles of toys thing you mentioned. The kids hated it. They reacted just like yours.

My local indy bookstore carries new and used books. I used to take in boxes of books, leave them, they’d sort out what they wanted to keep, record the credit (no cash, only credit towards books), then give the rest that were in decent shape to the library. The local library has a book sale every Saturday that the…
