Why do some women do this one annoying thing?

[Anonymous]

I get that not all women are like this, but so far all the ones I've come across lately have.

I've asked a few girls out on dates lately. If you are not interested, all you have to do is say "No" or "Sorry, I'm not interested" or something along those lines.

But EVERY woman I've asked recently has either given me a fake number or simply has not been answering back. It's extremely disrespectful to waste someone's time by leading them on or ghosting. Just tell the truth so we can move on. And no, I do NOT say anything creepy or anything that could come off as even remotely off-putting before someone tries to be a smartass and suggest that as a possible reason.

And the whole "we have to worry because we do not know how he will react" card is NOT a valid reason. If men said something like "I will not open up to ANY woman ever again because I don't know if she will betray my trust because my ex cheated on me," then women would go ballistic and say stuff like "Not all women are like that" or "He just hates women". It's exactly the same when a man asks you out and you are not interested. Just tell the truth. And if you do end up with a psycho, take the appropriate actions. Don't punish or waste the time of decent guys (which is 95% of us). Then you wonder "where are all the good men?"

NONE of the women have provided a helpful response so far. When women are put under the spotlight for accountability, they shift the blame. Classic!

It is a valid reason. If there’s a good chance he’ll crash out or, more likely, won’t take no for an answer but start trying to convince her to say yes and question why not, it is a valid reason. She doesn’t owe you anything. She’s not obliged to waste her time and matbe even put herself at risk trying to ”take appropriate actions” with all the men who can’t take a no. Again, women do not owe you anything.

It's not about owing anything. It's about basic human decency. And surprisingly men are at more risk than women. All a woman has to do is say a man did something. That happens WAAAAAY more than a woman being randomly attacked statistically.

Smart women don't give out any numbers. There are dozens of ways to contact people without giving out private information. You are obviously giving out awful vibes. Those vibes are even coming through loud and clear on this post.

Not true actually. This post is more of a vent than anything and something MANY guys agree with. I said this to an anonymous responder, but I've been approached by many women needing protection from creeps or worse. I've pretended to be their brother. I've stood by their side and listened to them and have been as good and kind as possible. The ONLY trouble I have is when I want to ask a woman out. Granted I'm not very experienced at it, but I really do treat people with the utmost respect and have even put my life on the line in the line of duty to protect others.

I very rarely use the fake number, so it must be something about you that's causing this.

[Asker]

Not at all. I smile and am friendly. Women approach me all the time for other matters, such as when creeps are following them. I've intervened several times to help women who needed someone to pretend to be her brother or something. The ONLY issue I ever have is when I ask one out.

The fact that men are still asking women out says more about the men. Why even waste your time with modern women? They are the worst women in the world. So much hassle with very little reward.

Which is why many men are forsaking Yankee broads for overseas babes.

Poor character, in a nutshell.
