His entire dating life must be a couple of text messages, then ghosted. I bet he’s ended up on @str8boytexts more than once.

Are you a man, because that would make a huge difference?

Bummer. Why should we risk ourselves for a small minority of nice people who might have their feelings hurt? A smart person goes into a situation recognizing the behavior of the majority and applying it.

“significant instances” What? Meeting someone for half an hour for coffee is not significant. I’ve had longer interchanges with someone on the train.

You get ghosted a lot, don’t you? It’s very clear why.

And what happens as he rages away after you’ve blocked him? Do you really think it’s going to get better?

And then when you don’t respond to the five hundred texts they send, things can get very ugly. Look, it’s going to vary from person to person and the situation.

And right there “selfish bitch” you totally went there and proved my point. You don’t have to wait days or weeks, unless you’ve got an issue. If you text and they don’t respond within two days, delete their number and move on. It’s not hard.

Women are much less likely to physically attack or stalk men. A woman who gets ghosted should just suck it up and realize that it wasn’t going to happen. You don’t hear from someone after a week, or they don’t respond within a day or two to a message, let it go and move on.

My assumption is that all the men on here bitching about being ghosted are being ghosted for obvious reasons. I can totally see sending them a “I don’t think this is going to work; best wishes,” and having them keep texting, “But, why? Tell me why? What did I do? What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? C**t.…

Brandon was great, but Michael Wincott, and his amazing hair, as Top Dollar is what has stuck with me.

Because I pay my bills through my online bank portal, I’m checking my balance at least once a week, and reviewing charges. I write, on average, two checks a month, so I can see when those clear.

Most of my family is from the Ozarks. Bacon fat is the standard for frying anything: eggs, chicken, cornmeal mush. We used it in pancakes and waffles instead of oil. And you have to have it to make wilted greens.

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.
