And most women are honest and don't play games. It's the few sour apples in both cases that makes it harder on the rest of us.

I never understood women who would stand there yakking with a man for half the evening, and then give him a fake phone number. If I didn't like someone enough to give him my number, I didn't talk to him long enough for him to ask for it. "Well, it was nice talking to you, but I need to get back to my friends."

Cant a women just be honest and say im not interested in meeting a guy at a bar ? Or I have a boyfriend?
Don't as why, just accept the behavior.

People are weird and do things like that. I've had women give me numbers and I was the person that asked and I was the person that never called.


To many numbers out there.....go get more.

Because they have no balls....literally and figuratively.

Part of being a man and a well-rounded respectful individual means doing things that are difficult to do, but the right thing to do. In this case, even though it's the right thing to simply state you're not interested, many women will elect to take the cowardly way out of the situation. They're not secure enough with themselves to take on the small amount of guilt of turning someone down. I don't know why, simple logic would explain that in the long run you're hurting the guy more by lying to him and leading him on, but women aren't known for their decision making based upon logical reasoning. They're emotionally driven in one direction or another at any given point in time. When a guy they are not interested in romantically asks them out, they immediate think of only their own potential feelings of guilt and take measure to opt out of that emotion and pass along those bad feelings to the guy.

The moral of this story should be that you learn a lot about someone in tough situations like these. Everyone looks great in an environment that is positive, but when you see how people react to adversity and confrontation....that's when you really get to know someone. In these cases, think of it as saving yourself time and money you would've otherwise wasted on such shallow individuals. You should hold higher standards for people regarding character.

Given that I have been approached by many, many, many guys before I got married, I cannot agree with this. Not pyscho perhaps. But deal well with not being interested. No. Men, PARTICULARLY at bars, are like predators.

You are looking at this from the perspective of a nice guy. Bear in mind that many of the men that approach us DON'T present as nice guys. Got any black in you? Want some? Can I have your number? as the first three things a guy says to you ... Yah sure I am going to give you my number you douchenbaggen.

I agree, I'm sure it's really hard to get rid of a guy after you've flirted with him and allowed him to buy you a few drinks. Why don't they just take no for an answer after that? What jerks those men.

I am with you there. I don't understand guy buys woman drink thing. I buy my own damned drinks. There are plenty of dorks of both genders.

They wouldn't act like that if it didn't work.

Nice guys don't come across as nice guys because men know that isn't what women are looking for.

Another example: People complain about telemarketers that call their house. Why do they do this? Answer: because it actually does work.
