I would not assume everyone who treats someone rudely knows they are being rude and as the previous poster stated the person who ghosted her, apologized.
Do you really think a rude person gives a flying you know what about your correcting them? If you did that to me I'd have a reply that I can't quote in my post due to CD's TOS. Anyway it's anatomically impossible.
Except guess what? The real world has no social TOS!
If they're just going to ignore you when you call them out on their ghosting, then where's the risk, where's the harm?
They'll think you're an arse and will be confirmed in their opinion that you weren't suitable for dating.

Almost that same thing happened to me recently. She texted me to cancel our date the next evening, with no explanation. (There was a bit more, not relevant.) I simply never replied. I figured the lack of a reply would indicate my scorn. It's funny, I was beginning to think of her as a 'keeper.' My bad.

I can do it, but after the 5th or 6th person ghosts, I may say something to the last person. Not "insult" like the OP said, but more like letting them know it wasn't appreciated.

I could care less what a person thinks if they ghost me. Once I realize I'm ghosted I just delete their phone and info and move on.
There is an infinite number of fish in the ocean, and Los Angeles is on the Pacific coast!
It's not the plethora of women in metropolitan areas such as mine. And it's not luck. Any US citizen or permanent resident can move here if they want. That's why our 405 freeway is always 4 or 5 mph. (Local joke.) Really, TT, why don't you move to a more metro area?
It's the immaturity of gaining some psychological kick some sick people get in having the last word or telling somebody off.
If you are never going see somebody ever again, what is the point in communicating further? I can think of only some outraged, sick need to tell them off.
People, they don't want you. Just let it go, let it go. Move on and meet your next love interest.

I think it is a toxic mindset that far too many people think of as "pride". It isn't the healthy pride most of us think of when we think of the term, but a self defensive "people shall respect me or they'll hear it!" type of thing. It's unfortunate.

Have '5 or 6' recently ghosted you?
