OP-
You would have preferred what?

I deserve somebody better than you?

Don't read more into it than it is.

It could mean a lot of things. In my experience it's one or more of:
* letting you down easy
* translation: you deserve someone that's got feelings for you that I don't have
* alternate translation: I've just discovered I've got some things I need to resolve / grow from in my life before I'm ready for LTR
* other alternate translation: I'd rather date around than be in a LTR right now, and I see myself cheating on you if we don't break up

Sometimes it means exactly what they are saying.

My ex said it one too many times....I finally believed him

I personally would believe them for whatever reason they are saying it..it usually does mean they have some type of emotional deal going on...and unless you want drama..it's time to find someone better that deserves you.

Jon Boi,

To me it means she has no respect for you or in general for other people's feelings...she wants an easy way out....and that's a very well known line, often used by men that we are all familiar with.

Just never mind her....and go back to find a woman that at least is truthful enough to tell you if things don't work between you two.

Best wishes.

Prime woman - I would have prefered to have her say something I did wrong or even say she lost interest over time. I struggle with self destructive mentality whether it's real or smokescreen. Not sure which is worse.

What does this mean? Does it mean when you feel rejected you involve yourself in behaviors that are destructive to yourself?

Like I said, I told that line to one guy and I meant it the way that I told it on here and the way that I agree with another on it. I was trying to let him down easy because I just didn't want him.

But like others have said - it could be entirely true that she meant it exactly as she worded it. Maybe you are a good guy and despite the interest she wasn't the person for you and felt you deserve someone better. Personal experience - I had an SO. I cheated. He never cheated. If I stayed in the relationship I knew there was a possibility of me cheating again, or perhaps several times. I never used that line on him but I know he deserves someone who is more more like him and will provide him the monogamy he deserve and wants. I feel he 'deserves' that because he doesn't cheat. He's a one-woman man.

Only you know this chick, so only you can really gauge how she meant it. And it kinda starts with how you feel about yourself.

It could mean any of the things, but there could also be other meanings. for example: She messed up and it can be a reversed psychology thing, like saying: I'm so fat, but hoping to hear: no you're not fat. So, her saying that you deserve someone better, but hoping you'd say: Oh, no, you're exactly what I want.

Hey dude sorry if you are taking that real hard but sometimes you have to leave things as what they are.

Keep digging and all you will find is buried s hit.

I had to learn that sometimes a pimp slap really hard is better medicine than old easy but women usually are not the ones to give you that slap it is your fellow man peers to do so.

If you want to quit being a whipping boy get up and stop whipping yourself over her.

I've said the same thing before to a man that I didn't want to hurt...some may call it a cowardly act, but the way i see it is this...just because I saw him a certain way doesn't make it truth, if I was to tell him straight out that I thought he looked much older than the pics he had up would it be the actual truth? or would it merely be my perception of the truth?....saying he deserves someone better is a nicer way of saying "you're great but I'm just not into you"...

Low self esteem which would make it your job to be her personal cheerleader or to have each date like a super duper You Go Girl Pep rally. Very boring very tiring and you definately won't be getting any. Not a good place for an adult male.

Simple. It means she isn't interested.

Guys say it, too.


<div class='quote'>I would have prefered to have her say something I did wrong

You don't necessarily have to do something "wrong" for someone not to be interested.

As for the redundant thread comment - I know this is off topic but I guess I don't understand the point of reviving a thread that's several years old. Like someone else pointed out, those people are long gone. I guess I don't seem the harm of bringing up a question that's been discussed long enough ago that those people are probably mostly gone.

It means she is going to treat you bad.
She knows it.
She's even telling you upfront.
She's warning you to hit the door.
Or else....
And freeing herself from being responsible for what she's about to do to you.

I'd call it a warning.

I never said it and don't see myself doing that any time in the future. But IF I do, it will probably mean "take no for an answer, I don't want you but I am trying to smooth you off my shoulder with the least hassle possible because you nag too much"

Take it from a woman....she's dumped you.
In her ever so nice way instead of just telling you the truth.
This is a nice line women hand out whenever they just aren't clicking with someone. I think its much easier and nicer to tell the truth and Just say thanks but its just not working instead of being the martyr...........

my interpretation of it is, she thinks you are a really nice guy, but more friendship material than boyfriend material.. sorry

(d) She is letting you down easy, because if she really had horrible self esteem she would latch onto any guy who showed interest because she would think that anyone at all is better then no one at all.

She has just insulted your intelligence by feeding you that crap and expecting you to believe it. Not that there's anything you can do about it. Would have been better if she just said you are not right for each other. Perhaps she'd feel more comfortable dating some slime?

Actually, when a woman says "You deserve somebody better than me," it is the first part of a secret test which, if passed, will unlock the padded doors of exquisite sexual delight of a magnitude and variety that could never be imagined unless experienced. In response to her statement, if you say "The winter's wind will be more bitter without you" and place your left hand upon her left shoulder, she will then grasp both your testicles in her hands, tap her right foot - just the toe, actually - three times and transform you both into a utopia of sexual delight.

Not too many guys are aware of that.

Trust me, though. It works. Try it next time. (For some reason, women continue to deny this. As if.)

That would probably be somewhat difficult with you, as you mentioned having several dozen moose balls. Or are they color coded? ;-)

Yep, the cheap way out. She's trying to boost your ego while giving you the boot.

I do try to remain humble here on POF, and many people have graciously volunteered to help me in that regard, but yes, Varinia, I am a unique specimen.

Also, yes, they ARE colour coded.

And alphabetized.

What does it mean when a woman says..."You deserve someone better than me."


I slept with your brother and your sister and have plans with your dad tonight.

"You deserve someone better than me." I only ask because I've heard it more than once. Is it;



It's a cop-out from some one who refuses to face reality.

My question to your question is how long into your relationships were you told that? I have thought that just once....I know someone on the island for awhile now.....actually met him on here and met him once...We had a blissfull weekend spent together but when it came to intellectual conversations I felt I wasn't "intellectual enough" for him.....And I think thats really based on my own insecurities....To this day we have contact via the phone and were still into eachother but in the back of my mind I think he would be bored in the long run if we were to hook up....So on my end I dont think I would persue it any farther then what it is....
