LOL But such is life.
Yeah I have a friend who's divorced with a kid..She's attractive but hasn't dated or seen anyone in a year.

Her kids got a year or two left in HS and wants to get into Ivy League schools so her mindset is all about her kid now not dating.

1. How do you know these guys are going after something out of their leagues? Have you seen them? Do you know them? Many women seem to think that they deserve Brad Pitt. But no, they don't. Online dating sites and social media has created a fake reality for women where they are messaged by hundreds (if not thousands) of guys. All of a sudden they believe that because the guys messaged them, then they must be really attractive (which is not true, because most guys would sleep with pretty anything if horny enough).

2. Well not really, see my post above about this. The genes know that you won't ever procreate with someone MUCH more attractive than yourself. Therefore, you won't even try.

3. Ok, he's hot. Great explanation .

4. Yeah that's true. They may not be scared of talking to guys. But they are really afraid of being rejected. That's for sure. Many (maybe most) guys are too, but women are on another level. It's understandable though. I used to live in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, and women there really liked me for some reason (Asian women tend to like white men). With the amount of attention I got, I kind of got a feel for how it is to be a woman. Your ego kind of builds up from all the attention that you are scared of losing that ego by approaching someone and getting rejected. I think this happens to a lot of women.

5. You're probably right about that point.
You're exactly right but on point 5 what usually happens is that women approach one guy who doesn't liked to be approached so therefore all men don't like to be approached.

People with common sense generally realize one individual is not representative of 3.5 billion others.

So Screami, no theory regarding OP's knowledge on this woman's lack of car ownership?

It's because he's been examining her very closely, memorized the details of her every move from a week ago, and since she's not going to ask him out he's decided not to accept, and he wants to refuse to give her a ride anywhere, but first he had to watch her come and go to find out if she had a car. He dislikes her so much he probably followed her to the bus stop. But hey, her "loss", right?

Maybe it's as innocent as he asked around. In any case, there are obviously some missing details from this story.
