I haven't seen texts from women who get really angry, but I do remember this one from a woman who snapped on this guy but in a different way.

Good grief! I kept waiting for his battery light to turn red.

And apparently there is more to this story, complete with trying to lure him back with a BJ, threats of suicide, a pregnancy... I actually kind of feel bad for her. He should have just blocked her.

The Sequel

I was actually going to add that I see those as well. I stopped seeing the suicide threats in women over 21, and I stopped seeing the pregnancy texts after about 30. But the sexual lure-back? All the time.

He should have just blocked her. I feel bad for her. She obviously has some serious issues. Not that he's responsible for her behavior, but it seems almost cruel that he didn't just tell her on the first day that he wasn't interested and that he was not going to respond henceforth, then blocked her.

Anyway, don't be these guys. (NSFW: Printed cuss words.)

Yes, these guys overreacted, but I know how they feel to a point. I date WAY more attractive women in real life than the ones that reject me online. Generally, in real life, I date at and a bit above my league. Online, girls way below my league don't respond to my messages.

This is why I stopped doing online dating. It's a skewed representation of how things really are. It's possible that these guys ONLY do online dating, which means their egos are completely shot and they are acting out in response to that.

I totally get it, but the sensible thing is to, instead, stop going online for girls.

Yeah, I mean, not to victim blame, but he must've liked the attention to a point if he didn't block her texts.

I feel bad for her to the point that she clearly has mental health issues, but people control their own behavior and shes just plain frightening.

Yeah but we don't know for sure that these girls are actually ugly. Insecure a-hole men have a tendency to play the "you're ugly and fat" card when they get rejected, even when the girl is a 10.

Well, of course, I don't know what these girls looks like (though, if they read Jezebel, I can pretty much guess).

But I'm just relating my own experiences. I've even had situations where girls reject me online and THEN meet me in person at some later point and become really into me. I ask them why they rejected me online and they don't even know.

I can't tell if online dating vastly inflates the attractiveness of these women or vastly deflates my attractiveness or both. I just know that I avoid it like the plague and stick to meeting girls in real life.

Well sure, that's usually a good strategy.

I just think it's dumb when men react like those guys did. Dude, you wanted me and now you're telling me I'm fat? That's just bizarre.

It's equally dumb that it bothers those women that know that they aren't, in fact, fat. It's immature to do it, but part of the reason that guys do it is because it often "works" (so to speak) at hurting their feelings, which is what they feel they have to do once their feelings have been hurt. It's not right, but it's definitely stupid in both directions.
