He may be freaked out or not interested. It doesn't matter. Either way she has taken the issue into her own hands and is able to effectively figure out if that is a guy with whom she is compatible or not. In the case of either the freaked out guy or the not interested guy, neither are compatible with her, so she has just screened for that and can move on to guys with whom she is better suited.

Don't cope already. See above.



Right. I've had it said behind my back that I was gay or thereabouts because I'd just stop paying attention to some female coworkers. I guess if dating another gal at that point translates to such, so be it.

Coping.



Sure. Much like women claim that men are "intimidated" by them by a "great" career (even though they want a guy with a better career more often than not, so...), it's just a cope.



Honestly, I'd believe it. Maybe not when I was 19, but I bring a bunch to the table. My thought would be, "About time!"

See above copes. Then again, I've been approached by women who really should never have started. I would have tried to keep things as short as possible, I suppose.
Yeah it's as if women can do no wrong and men are always the bad guy. Men aren't allowed to have standards or they'll be chastised and shamed for it.

I'm not sure what you are even saying about my post. I'm not saying a man is worthless if he rejects me. I'm saying he is being a bit dramatic and silly if he thinks I am "crazy" for asking him out because I am a woman. That's all it is.
The man can think what he wants if he doesn't like you take it in stride and move on. Some men like it, other men (like me) don't want to be asked out by a woman. If I like a woman I'll let her know.

Not true. No one sex gets it worse than the other. You just see things through your own misogynistic, poor-men filter.

Misogynistic? Don't ever call me that I never said I hated women and I don't. See, there you go assuming I'm the bad guy because I defend myself around here.

You don't say you hate women directly. You say it in many other ways. Does your gf every read your posts here? If so, what does she think?

I show her everything I type and she knows I'm not a woman hater. You're assuming I hate women because I don't kiss their a** and tell them their right always. But think what you want about me; I won't lose sleep over it.

I hate when people say that. You are in ur 30's and single. What's wrong with you?

If getting a relationship was as easy as snapping ur fingers, there would be no single people.
