Personally, I don't continue to pursue somebody if they don't want to be pursued. Simple as that. To go and ask more people simply because one will eventually say "yes" sounds like low standards.

You're misunderstanding me. It has nothing to do with low standards. If someone says no, their interest level obviously isn't that high. Might as well find someone you like that has the same interest level.

I agree. Is this not true when trying to make friends?

I'm constantly amazed at how low American culture has sunk. Things aren't nearly that bad elsewhere.

I suppose. If they're not interested in talking to you, then obviously they're not interested in friendship. But there's point in pursuing someone with little to no interest.

Just curious- do you understand the irony he was pointing out?

If most of the new threads weren't so dismally stupid and boring, I'm sure that the old ones wouldn't be re-activated. There used to be a lot of good threads but most of the men who tell it like it is, have moved on to better sites, open to a more freewheeling approach.

People who never want to hear anything that contradicts their narrow worldview, tend to drive off debate or have people look for threads that once had it.

I believe this is where we differ. I don't go to extremes that if they said "no", they lost their chance. They just said "no". It is not that big of a deal. I think the dating world works the same way.

I'm not making a big deal out of it. I just said if she says no, I move on. I don't take it personally, nor do I hold grudges. But I will not give a second chance because there are others that 1)Will say yes and 2)Are more deserving of my love and attention.

He just kept defending it and I asked why he talked to women online without knowing if they were attractive. He had no answer and said he hoped he hadn't ruined things between himself and the women in our chat group.

I can't explain how many times men have said inappropriately sexual or creepy things, subtle putdowns or outright insults, while trying to get me to LIKE THEM. Sometimes it's clearly objectification, as if that is a complement.

One guy called me a racist because I lived in a mostly white state- then asked me out- No thanks, pal.

Just wondering the deal. Someone suggested these are heterosexual mysogynists, who resent their need for a woman, but don't think they are really bad guys.
As a man I want to tell you to ****. Thx....i hate girls like you.
