Same with girls tho.
If a person texts me 1 time without me saying anything back they should get a hint that i don't want to talk.
But they will just send me like 20 messages over an hour or everytime they see me online on facebook and stuff.
Plus i am the kinda person who don't like talking to someone most nights or just have things to do.
I am the kinda person who you should expect not to respond right away and heck it could be a whole week later with me.
But's that just me so if a girl did it to me i wouldn't care.
If it is something urgent or you texted me once and only once i am mostly likley to respond.
Otherwise i get annoyed by mutiple messages.
This girl who i know from collage but don't really know nor like added me on facebook and we talked a bit and it was fine.
But then she stopped waited one week then i didn't answer cause i just didn't want to talk, but then she sent about 5 messages and then since then she texted me one message each day and still doing it.
And haven't responed at all. Just cause it annoys me and it clearly shows she knows nothing about me likeing to be anti social even tho i make it pretty damn clear.
Anyway to answer your question no clue i guess there just really desprite for attenison.
If i was been ingnored i would just wait for them to reply. Just like everyone else should.
Because there are a lot of beta males out there, they'll text even at the expense of their dignity and self respect.
If I don't get a response, I won't send another text and I'll probably write her off as well.
I'm what you would call an alpha male, which means I won't send women loads of texts, or chase women or sell my dignity. If I don't get a response, I'll stop trying and move on.
yes but not all men are alpha. its annoying, but its the reality. if women could hae the decency to say im not interested instead of ghosting guys, then woemn wouldn't get annoyed by guys who can't take subliminal messages
That's true. Women prefer alphas over betas because alphas have a lot of self respect and high standards. Also they tend to be more manly.
I've always been hit on by women, and it's painful to watch betas chasing desperately after women. They never learn that it's a real turn off for women.
Wow. After just one text that you get no reply to you give up? There are various reasons why the girl may not have replied. In my experience, sometimes girls who didn't reply to a text have been interested in me. I think this just proves you think you are above everyone else, you have a massive ego and your pride matters way too much to you. I back off when I can tell I am not wanted, but I'm never too quick to assume anything.
I agree more with ThirdRaker, I think that's a more rational way to think about it.
Thanks Lightning8.
I'm with Ace, i don't chase or compete for a girl. There's either something or nothing. I send a message, " Hey Claire... how are you? And there's no reply, then that's it.
Nothing wrong with that. She wants to contact me... she will.
@ThirdRaker Problem is that if you keep texting a girl, you come across as desperate and have little self worth. You have to let her know that your time is precious, you have options and that you have self respect. If you don't, she won't think much of you because you have no self respect. Women aren't attracted to men who devalue themselves. What most betas don't get is that you lose social status by chasing women and looking desperate. Women aren't attracted to such men.
Beta males chase. Alphas don't.
Alphas lead, betas follow.
Betas get rejected, Alphas do the rejecting.
exactly
Because they’re desperate. I made it clear to a guy that I wasn’t interested and I stopped answering him. We were never friends, he was just some mutual friend who wouldn’t leave me alone. So today he asked me why I think I’m better than everyone 😂 guys hate rejection. So they’ll keep trying no matter what you say or do.
First of all the fact that you haven’t blocked him gives him hope that he can keep trying. If you don’t want to talk to him block him. 2 you probably didn’t tell him to stop contacting you which is the other reason he thinks he has a chance. So either block him or tell him to leave you alone and stop leading him on.
They obviously aren't picking up on the super obvious unspoken message there

Its rather asinnine to ask them individuals proclaim themselves as a guilty collective. If you understand the history of communism, particularily the identity politics responsibly for the democide of innocent people blamed of stealing wealth simply due to having accumilated more wealth by exercising better agricultural practices known as the Kulaks than you should know how disgusting you framed this question.
Asking men to implicate all men by assuming that all men identify under "We" is pushing for an admittance of guilt allowing such insidious sentiments to blame men as a collective to transpire. It's suggesting that men must identify with all the other sub catagories of men. You've not provided a question but a false dichotomy. One which implicates a whole population of people as bad.
When the question is directed to include the broader general classes of men, it is assumed that the choices to answer are directed at them too. This is very sexist, you've chosen to word this very incorrectly.
It is fair to generalise, it's a fundamental mechanism to communication, however the way you did it leaves no other implications other than too assume that men as a totality are among a dichotomy of evil.
My god you sound like the most massive cunt in the replies. You must be fucking hot.
And you're right. Guys will still be chasing you when you're old.
But only the losers. The really good guys can have younger and prettier girls, or girls who are not such cunts.
Or they're already taken.
Anyway, only losers will chase you, when you're old, and especially when you are still such a cunt as you are now.
Which is very likely, as you are an attractive female, and therefore unlikely to ever be corrected for anything, or suffer a loss of options for being a cunt.
I said when you're OLD. Of course it's easy for you now.
And whatever happened to those awesome men?
If THEY had such great personalities, it must have been YOU who drove them away.
You're not listening 😂 I agree that it's easy for all women.
But when you're old, the really good guys can have a younger version of YOU.
You'll be left with only the kind of guy you've been ignoring.
... what?
Yeah ok, but not a man you will like. (when you're old)
https://youtu.be/Aq_Xm7xwN9o Older women are called cougars or MILF old guys dont get names like that. Because no one really wants them except for their money.
... A man YOU will like, will STILL be liked by women who are younger than YOU. That man will rather go for those younger women, than you.
Do you get it? A man's sexual market value is based WAY more on his personality and his fortune. It INCREASES with time, and only decreases, when they get really fucking wrinkly.
YOUR sexual market value will reach its peak in your twenties, and decrease from then on out.
The only guys you will still attract, will either be 30 years older than you, OR have no money and no charisma.
headache
Maybe he thinks a girl is playing hard to get - I don't know how true that, but I have heard a lot about women apparently saying one thing, whilst meaning another e. g. 'I'm fine'.
Plus if you're the one that's in the situation, then just straight up tell the person that you aren't interested.
I am just going by what I've heard and have never been in the situation.
I'm sure I've always heard that playing hard to get is pretending you're not interested first and ignoring someone's messages could be seen as that. Having never been in this type of situation though, I may be wrong, so why don't you tell me what playing hard to get is?
To what extend then? Not necessarily, maybe some do it because they want to test how much a person wants to be with them and I'm sure most people want to be with someone who loves them and will show that, as well as commitment to do get there in the first place.
Well you can't speak for everyone and there are people who would try different methods, even if there are situations where their only form of contact with the person of interest is through online messages or phone, maybe gotten from online messages.
Nope. You ever played hard to get in other ways? I'm not the type of person to just message some like that, as I imagine the other person would be creeped out by it - I've never put a picture on the few social media sites I'm on either, so people probably wouldn't even know who I am or what I look like. I've never been with anyone before, asked anyone out or been asked out.
Obviously not for everyone, though maybe for most, if it makes you happy? Lol, did you only say that because you couldn't respond to my last point? I'm not trying to kill you off by the way, in case you take it wrong.
@Athena374
I know you weren't saying this to me, but I agree that playing hard to get is kind of stupid if you really like someone, but if women are known for it, then who's to blame but themselves? I mean people can be straight up without being too open or leading someone on and like someone else said, they may just be concerned in case something bad happened? You'd think that guys do a bit of research too, especially if they're new to dating, to help ensure success and if lots of sources they see, say women play hard to get, then why wouldn't they try to be persistent? Women are being the confusing, so they shouldn't get upset when a person doesn't understand what you mean, just be straight up, yet, guys get called desperate. Also, you've probably done research of some sort if so many of your questions start something along the lines of 'Why do most guys', so and so.
"Women are known for doing that with guys they don’t really like. That’s it. I’m the sense of ignoring messages anyway."
Not all research shows that. You just seem to be defending women and attacking men, with your research, saying 'only women who aren't interested do that'. There's nothing wrong with doing it a little bit, just as a test of commitment, but everyone's different and we can't read people's mind's, so some will take it further. Seriously just be straight up or talk to the guy in person, if you've met him before, instead of using it as an excuse to call him and other guys desperate. Also, if you said something similar enough to the guy messaging you, "I’m the sense of ignoring messages anyway", assuming it's you that's actually in the situation, although probably in a more polite manner, then you probably wouldn't have to post this question anyway and wouldn't have to deal with this.
Okay, but not always completely ignoring it, like they may message first or reply when messaged first and have a decent conversation and then ignore afterwards. If women are genuinely not interested then they should be straight up about it, not lie or give other impressions, then get upset and call guys desperate or not 'interested' enough. There's nothing wrong with doing research, especially if you're new to the dating game, but people need to be straight up about whether or not they're interested, especially women, if research shows they seem to send mixed or opposite signals. I know you disagree with playing hard to get, but there's women out there who do.
What are you.. freaking 16?
Edit: yes. Yes you are. Only a child ghosts people instead of being mature enough to tell them to stop.
Wrong but okay lol. Take your child anger out on ignoring people because you love the attention from them.
That's it actually. You WANT him to keep messaging you because you want the attention, otherwise you would of told him to stop. What a fkn child lmao
boohoo times over, go play legos
So you expect men to not talk to you if you don't talk back?
1) Tell him you don't want to talk with him. That helps a lot instead of being a 12 year old by ghosting
2) Block him then he should get the message
3) If you are so fed up with the constant replies then tell him to leave you alone or file a harassment claim.
Only idiots think ghosting is mature. They use screens to hide the fact that they're afraid of confrontation.
You can't assume everyone you meet thinks like you. Not every guy thinks the same way as you do
I wonder why girls keep trying to get ahold of me when I ghost them. They are pretty annoying.
Generally speaking, I only text friends. If someone begins to ignore me and that's the way it seems I cease most contact with them as they have expressed where I and they stand.
I'm guilty of doing this also. Sometimes I double text hoping she will respond. After awhile I'll just delete the message and wait for her to reply. If she doesn't respond I'll just delete the conversation completely.
Ignoring people is the most coward way to deal with them. Block them, tell them to leave, yes. But ignoring is terrible.
First because the guy can be worried, not knowing why you don't answer, if something bad happened to you.
Then, because it's really hurtful to be ignored without knowing the reason, what he did.
Yes, that hurts, especially if it's someone we like.
For the same reason spam robocallers keep at it. If you don't bite one of the other numerous recipients will.
Cuz they're fucking stupid lol
Can you stop being childish with those updates?
We get that you're a narcissist, stop reminding us
Both sexes do. There are stubborn people among both sexes, not just guys
Why should guys feel bad? Girls ghost at the drop of a hat. It doesn't really mean anything.
Girls change their minds all the time, why be upset about it? Hell, a girl can swear blind she just wants to be friends today, and next week you two can be having sex. Confidence and going for what you want is a key part of life.
Actually it's what I did in October. A female acquaintance of mine who shot me down multiple times and said many times she only wanted to be friends--well, she clearly changed her mind, judging by the fact she came to my bed, and took her own panties off for me.
That's one of the joys of being a guy. Girls get "used for sex," guys have fun hookups.
It was fantastic, 😂😂 and a special thrill from the fact that she had gone from "i only want to be friends" to taking her panties off and asking to be fucked.
Unless you can just be with one guy you're basically the same as him. Unless you can care for a "Barack Obama" rather than just a "President Obama" for example, you're bound to build up a body count. This is because you lack the commitment and integrity in your character to not spread yourself around by choice, hopping from one "relationship" to the other. This is because every relationship has a rocky point either early on or later on. But a lot of people can't handle that.
I don't know, you seem suspect 😂 empathy is usually required for something like that
Cos they might actually like you, and don’t want a friendship to end.
maybe they will one day
El oh el she's just joking, playing hard to get. You know the usual stuff.
well there must be a lot of crazies because a lot go for fellas that are douches
we dont undertan why we are being ignored so we keep trying hoping to make amends.
yea, but why are they ingoring you? have you ever had a guy just stop talking to you out of no where, leaving you scrambling for an answer on why? whether or not you did something wrong, or if they never liked you, if you werent enough. it rives guys crazy. also we think if we were trying to get with you if wecan fix it there still is a chance.
well that makes sense. once youve been ingored you'll understand why it is so hard to just give up. an not all the time, f none of the guys try to fix issues they have cause this world would be a really shitty place.
now me personally, if im being ignored ill accept it and move on. i dont hae tie for someone who doesn't have an interest in me. but other guys see it as a last resort kind of thing. like if they dont get this girl they are hopeles.
and they shoul, but they dont. its up to both parties to respect the other. the girl to not ignore the guy and the guy to accept when he is not wanted.
welp then guys can keep trying. :I
Because they’re thirsty
Most guys would... Some don't notice or care. I would ignore you back pretty quickly.
I mean that I stop trying to make contact, and might very well not respond at all quickly if they see fit to send another message.
People should say they are not interested or busy instead of ignoring them
I mean why ignoring someone or blocking them... why not telling them why you're ignoring
either the guys don't get the message or they seriously want forgiveness.
I'm a girl and I just want to see the results
Some are desperate, so they keep trying
We don’t care about being ignored
I can ask the same question to girls.
Fucking pathetic desperate thirsty dudes do this
Weird Flex, but okay.
We get ignored all the time.
Bored az fuk? Idunno. That tenth beer?
Bear with him. He's horny and wants to have sex.
l dont know
