I've been covertly rejected by every excuse in the book.

Some excuses over and over and over again by different women, women either too uncaring to find an original excuse or too stupid to realize that a cliché is going to be recognized for what it is by any man with an IQ over 80.

But one of the stupidest (and common enough to be cliché circa de 2013) excuses I've ever gotten on a singles site was

"Oh! I'm not looking to meet anyone"

Then what is she doing on a singles site?

I mean if a woman doesn't realize she's not only rejecting a poor guy but she's insulting his intelligence or revealing her contempt for male intelligence/revealing her simplicity...................

"Oh I'm not waiting for the bus" (standing at the bus stop)

"Oh I'm not waiting for a table" (sitting in the waiting area of a busy restaurant)

What are the stupidest/most obvious excuses you ever got?

If I ever got married again, I'd never come back to any singles site and open myself up to any more of the incredible abuse that I as a not good looking man has received in my effort (not to get quick sex) to find a spouse.

Any married man who pretends to be single in order to "play the ads" has to either be very very handsome or very very masochistic.

My girlfriend got rejected when the man said he was married and was just out with his male friends for the night.

She kept seeing him in the same nightclub in the weeks afterward picking up and walking out the door with different girls. So its not only girls giving stupid excuses, men are just as bad. Though I highly doubt the guy is married but if he is, I really feel for his wife cause he's been around with a number of women!

I'm not sure it's the excuse that matters. The person is simply trying to avoid dating you.

If you want to control how people respond to your advances... You can't do that.

Is it that you don't understand why they're turning you down and you want them to be blunt about it?

Maybe its better to be blunt. Yes tell me what I'm doing wrong and I can change it unless its some stupid reason like looks or height because I can't change my genes.

Right, the excuses are to avoid hurting your feelings, not sure what the problem is with them.

Stupid excuse! Good example.

I doubt they want to avoid hurting my feelings because they'd think up less obvious excuses if they were really so 'kind" and "caring".

Those are girls who want to hurt but simultaneously want to appear (even to themselves) to be caring, sensitive, sweet individuals.

How can people know which blunt reason will be ok with you? Attraction (lack thereof) is typically at the forefront of initial rejection. If they take a little time to get to know you, then reject, you'll know there is something more to it than attraction.

Try me.

Any blunt and honest reason which I can correct has got to be far less hurtful than the lack of attraction reason or any obvious excuse that any reasonable intelligent person can see through.

"I'm not looking to meet anyone" said by a female on a singles site where she has a profile filled out and pictures of her in her best make-up after she dyed her hair and got it styled?
