Some men are so battered by rejection and so afraid of being rejected anymore that they'll take anything.

Trust me, it happens and I absolutely consider that rejection.
In this case here...you were intending to do an activity together, which is seeking something. Of course, a disappearing act or flakiness is rejection.

How do you know that they hooked up? How do you know they are married/engaged/having sex/dating? How do you know they aren't neighbors/co-workers/relatives/good friends/strangers walking each other to the bus?

And you are sweet on the inside? Would you say this is so?
It doesn't matter what I am since I'm not the one with relationship issues. But, hook up as in whatever. Go to google images and type in ugly wedding couple. Physically unattractive get together.

I usually logged in everyday. Work gets slow sometimes, so I'd browse about for a bit.

I figure that little exercise was just fleshing out stupidity. These people didn't know if I was even a woman. The whole profile was absurd.

Life is unfair. Get used to it.
Can you reword that?

Sounds like you think that one of these women should be romantically interested in you because she isn't getting anywhere by demanding looks and you're smart enough to look at inner qualities instead of superficial ones.

Thanks!

Body language, usually. Most neighbors, co-workers, or strangers don't hold hands or walk arm-in-arm, lean in and kiss each other. If you're paying attention you can usually tell who's a romantic couple and who's not.

So, you feel you're entitled to romantic interest even if a woman isn't attracted or interested in you in any way?

I wouldn't want to be with a man who likes me simply because I exist and own a vagina. I also don't feel entitled to romance because I exist. People look for a mix of superficial and inner qualities and what may work for one, doesn't work for another. I know that I don't find my best friends husband attractive in any way, shape or form...but she seems quite smitten with him and that's what matters in the end.

WOW! I don't see good looking couples holding hands/walking arm in arm/kissing anymore.

Maybe it IS beneficial to be part of a plain looking romantic couple.
