Not sure why I didn't put this together before....

But, OP, aren't you the hookup guy?

Isn't there already a high risk that ghosting occurs in these 'encounters'?

However, that would then elicit a response like "Oh, busy atm" or they will get back to me next day.
Usually these are just hook-ups, so I guess they may not get back unless they are in the mood

This one ticked me because he had asked What time & never replied. Perhaps it would've been better if he didn't even message anything at all.
Youre really looking at what he could do different instead of you.

So you dont have low self esteem, youre just immature.

Just because I like to call someone out... or have the last word... or ruffle their feathers, does not mean I have low self esteem.

In the context of sexual hook ups, I think very highly of myself in terms of being physically attractive.
Really? Because this other thread you made seems to say otherwise, like you're questioning how you look.

If you feel that you need to call someone out and have the last word, then you might not have low self esteem, but you ARE immature!

Hey krosser100, are you an adult? Actually adult maturity is generally about 25 years old. (A psychologist friend recently told me she thinks more like 28 due to the wasted time kids spend on games instead of socializing, and due to needing to learn more at school which takes time away from time required for emotional development.)

If you are less than late 20s then I can understand your feelings. Maybe when you reach your late 20s you'll be able to not act like a spoiled child.
100% agree

No I do NOT question how I look, that other thread was about 1) getting others' opinions on what they would define my physical size & 2) expressing frustration in finding adult-sized clothing, it has NOTHING to do with any insecurity that YOU may perceive me to have.

Clean up your own thoughts before trying to tie-in some unrelated thread as if your probing matters

Next day she sees the neighbor out in the yard and she'd be like, "Hey didn't you get my email/call?" They look at their phone, "Oh yeah, right sorry! lol" She's like "You mean with all that fancy stuff you carry with you, you still didn't get my email/call?"

With people always checking their phones every 5 mins, you'd think they'd return a simple text.
People are so funny style!!

Clean my thoughts?? :dubiou

You’re on CD and the internet asking for strangers opinions, so I gave mine. I also think my observations are correct based on your threads and comments. No worries, I’ll move on!

If you're a man and the ghoster is a woman, yes society would label you as bitter and even misogynistic if you insult her. The way society looks at it, ghosting is cruel narcissistic behavior when a man does it to a woman, however when a woman does it to a man, it is considered perfectly reasonable, as no woman should have to put up with a guy who doesn't match up to her standards.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The hookup culture and the ghosting culture have a lot in common--and not in a good way.

it does come off as bitter when you insult someone who has ghosted you. But it is understandable. When someone ghosts me, I typically ghost back and move on with my life. And if I see that person again, I don't pay her any attention. For one thing, it might be someone that just looks like her. I've been mistaken for someone else. But I just continue on with my life.
