Women: Funny When the Tables are turned!!!
Posted: 12/19/2005 12:40:27 AM
I notice that many men that complain about not getting responses (yes or no) are often told to suck it up by women. Sure, I understand some of the complaining is BS, but what if the tables are turned.

I ask a woman who e-mailed me the other day: why is it that when women e-mail men they often just say, "Hi", or "Hey There"? Here response was, " well what if I take the time to write out a thoughtful e-mail and the guys isn't interested"? Sure this could be the case. There are many times when we spend valuable time writing a thoughtful e-mail only to be rejected. How do you think we Feel!!! Has it never crossed their mind that men go through this all the time. What is so crazy about them being in the same situation?

every email involves thought...whether it's thoughtful is the question. I've written a few emails that got no response...I could care less

If a person-be they male or female- has taken the time to write out a profile and have it posted on a dating website, it stands to reason that person would like to meet someone, unless otherwise indicated.
Therefore, if you receive a wink, or an email, it is common courtesy to respond to that email. To just say "hi" and nothing more is ineffective and a waste of time for both parties.
Why bother at all if you have nothing to say? How do you expect to find a match if you are not willing to go out on a limb? And....
How much of a limb is it? There's no risk involved at all, until you meet in person!!! Some people really don't know what it is they want, or why they are on these sites. That is why some of the responses are so lame, or totally nonexistent. It's not you! It's them.

Funny because it's true..
How many times have you heard, "Why doesn't he ask me out?" But have you ever heard, "Why doesn't she ask me out?"

Most broads are weak. Pure and simple. They know it. We know it. They "expect" men to be skrong and take their sh1t. So of course men have to waste all of their precious time (which could be used beating a playstation game or something) to sit up there and write out all these emails to half of the chicks that really aren't worth a damn (in the ultimate scheme of things) and put themselves out there, quite simply because the women are not skrong enough to do the same thing. They have not been raised to be tough and take things and it is easy for them to sit back and say "If a woman doesn't email you after you wrote all that sh1t, suck it up and move on!"

Why oh why does a woman cry and whine to her girlfriends when she finally approaches a guy that simply did not reciprocate her interests? Why are her girlfriends so "aww, you are beautiful. he was just a pompous ass. blah blah blah". But if a man is upset, they will say 'Well stop blaming her and look at what is wrong with YOU. She just wasn't into you. Deal with it!" Gee thanks. What a "pick-me-up". But I don't care... I'll send insults to unresponsive broads regardless because I know that common courtesy is the right thing to do. And if I have wasted my time, my anger must be......appeased. Hahahahahahaa!!!!

Sparda, women are an enigma. As I like to say,

"Women. Can't live with 'em. Can't have sex without 'em."

Take Jas for example. She's an attractive girl. And she has a good photo. But what kind of image is she trying to project with that sword stabbing you in the face from above?

Women. Don't try to understand them.

What IF men just stopped asking women out. The wailing would rise into the heavens

Why exactly do men go for relationships anyways. Are we preconditioned/brain-washed to think it is a good thing for us. What is the advantage for men in today's world. Women can look after themselves. They are so strong and independent. Women complain so much about guys wanting sex, I think it is turning guys either gay or asexual.

Maybe there is a lesson in all this, maybe guys need to just let it go and live their own lives.
Would seem to be much less stress involved. The only advantage I see might be economically, but then again if you have kids, kiss your assets goodbye.

Are women too spoiled with having men do the dirty work of asking them out and having always being turned down to deal with. Remember, women hate when men break up with them because they want to be in the driver's seat.

It's time men starting being men, instead of spineless jellyfish.

Here! Here!

Single men of the world, unite!

I have proposed this before. I propose it again. All single men should form a union. A union. A brotherhood. And we should picket women for one month.

That means no email, no winks, no nothing. No passes in bars, no phone calls, no asking for numbers. Nothing. Nada. We keep that up for one month, and boy would there be a change blowin' in the wind. We would bring their smug sense of superiority down in no time.

I reject women by not giving them the time of day that they think they MIGHT be getting.

I ONLY talk to a girl that smiles at me or the one that puts her lips together like she just wants to suck the hell out of me.

Those tootin their horn thinking they are hot stuff...leave them upto some sucker guy. Boy do I feel sorry for some guys. Some men think they are getting lucky...Its hilarious...They really arent...they're really geting the WORST of it. HAHAHAHA

It is hard not to let 'er rip on this thread...and not in a negative way either.

Lack of response is not rejection. You should NOT take it to heart and DO NOT let it get you down or give up contacting others.

Many online daters (??) base too much of their self image on the popularity and attention they gain from others online. Most all have fallen into that 'feel good' thing that takes over when the emails get rolling at some point.

There are many factors at play when your emails are sent. There may be a thousand reasons why they did not respond which have nothing to do with you (pic or profile).

Don't internalize the lack of response as being that you are not adequate or that the other person is an __________.

Think about how many people in a given day you are in contact with in the real world. You don't walk away feeling rejected by the conversation you have with those people...and I assume you smile and say hello to a number of people each day. I know I do. If they don't smile back or shyly look away or just blunder by...I don't take offense, they have their reasons. A weak example but I hope I make a point.

I kept it short...gonna go gear up in the flame retardant suit.

To the OP - thats why we say it happens to everyone

Ive sent off hi how are you emails months ago, one here or there. Sometimes I got a response, sometimes I didnt. If I didnt, guess what, that was perfectly OK.......I didnt go ranting about it in a forum thread [ not saying you but the million other threads about no email replies]

Lack of response is not rejection.


I doubt you will find many people (especially guys) to buy into that theory. I'm not buying it. If you send an e-mail and it is read and you don't hear anything back it's rejection. Let's just call it what it is.

When you send a message to someone you are essentially saying: I would possibly like to date you, let's chat to see if there is anything there. In real life if you ask someone to go for cup of coffe to chat and then they don't say anthing back, it's rejection.

Just because a woman doesn't respond back, doesn't mean she's a b#@tch. That being said, if she doesn't respond back she's not interested.

Any women have any stories to show otherwise?

First off... I've sent some nice, thought provoking, complimentary emails to men on here and gotten either one of two things:
A) read/delete
B) one word response: thanks.
I take both as them being "not interested". I'm not going to say I don't care, I do to the extent of, sure I wondered why. But I don't dwell on it. What's the point.
I answer all my emails, I've said this before. I might not get to them ASAP but I do get to them. The only ones I don't answer are obvious rude, sexual, etc. and the like.
It's never easy for the "approachee" whether you're male or female. I do agree however, that it is odd to see how the very thing "some" complain of is the very thing they do themselves.

[I doubt you will find many people (especially guys) to buy into that theory. I'm not buying it. If you send an e-mail and it is read and you don't hear anything back it's rejection. Let's just call it what it is.]

Rejection is a fact of life. Lack of interest is a way of life. Everytime you walk into a store and walk past one item is just lack of interst. Does the store owner come up to you and hammer you with ""why dont you like my goods???" You would think he was taking it a bit personally wouldnt you. Everyday everyone has a decision to pursue an interest or not. Work hobbies and yes people. To take it to heart where you start doubting your own or others value, is not a good thing to do. With the sheer numbers of people on this planet, somekind of rejection is inevitable. So what other people are trying to say, is for you own mental health, learn to deal with it

You have to take it light heartedly or it would cripple everyone emotionally. Guess its called being rational and logical. You just cant invest that much emotion in so many emails [ in this case] Anyway the way I look at it, why spend time worrying about the ones who dont answer when you could be concentrating on starting something with the ones who do

@Destined2
A very good point I might add. It seems that so many online take rejection so personally. It is obviously a trend that comes up again and again and again and again. It's not going to change anytime soon. Personally I don't think it ever will. Let's face reallity here. If you feel offended by someone not answering or returniing a response to your e-mail, then it is completely obvious they are not worth your time nor your hate. Why waste your time even thinking about it. Yes they are being rude, so what! Does it really effect your life that much?
I know I have more important things to worry about then someone treating me with disrespect. How can you let someone whom you have never met, and will likely never meet, get the best of you? Sorry but I've just read too many of these types of threads and needed to vent a bit.
