From the men's reactions, I think it's safe to say that women do this as well. But people do this because, well they can get away with it. I've been a dude's back up plan. It wasn't fun. But I realize he wanted to make sure the next girl was better than me. He needed time to see if she would be worth more than me. And kept me hooked just in case it didn't work out without her. These people are actually super insecure. They honestly don't think they will ever be enough especially for the long run so they are always looking for their next dish. But since they are insecure, they also don't want to be alone at any given time. It's just super sad. But seriously good for you girl that you haven't let yourself be used this way! You know your worth and that's amazing! I'm aiming for that as well!

Because our modern culture has normalized the idea of women acting like wives towards men who won't even make the effort to propose or marry you.
No wife benefits for a man who can't officially call you his wife.
If he wants to leave he would have to think twice before because of divorce and it will push both parties of the couple to work harder to preserve the relationship.
And by the way women do that too. I've seen it first hand.
I wouldn't say this is purely a male thing.
What can I say besides the fact that the weakening marriage institution and normalization of infidelity and entitlement of both genders is the root of most these issues.21 Reply
4.9K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. It's because those guys are players and already have several other women on the line, so they have no need or desire to commit to any one woman. Such guys are good-looking and popular with most women, and they know there's a never-ending supply of women who will want to be with them, so they don't take any one woman seriously.
Most women realize that these guys are "bad boys" or more rarely, are out of her league, but they still pick these guys because they are handsome, confident, and exciting. Then they are shocked when he acts like the Bad Boy he is.10 Reply
Women do that to men too. It sucks no matter who does it. Scarcity is what makes something valuable. If you give someone the impression that you will always be there waiting for them, they have no reason not to make you thier backup plan. There is no FOMO where you are concerned.

+1 yI’ve never heard of men doing this, but women do this ALL THE TIME. I’m sure some men do, and some women don’t, but I get the impression that it’s normal for women to do it. Men are typically clear with their feelings about someone

Okay, I’m not entirely sure that was English, but “ghosting” someone isn’t keeping them as a backup plan, really. It’s rejection without the confrontation, if they come back later, then you can say they tried to make you a backup plan. But it’s usually a non-confrontational way to reject someone.

The first reply was word salad, so a good part of it. As far as the guy having this pattern, then I can’t really speak to his reasons, other than maybe it’s a using for sex thing. All I could say is stop engaging. That’s what I do every time a woman tries to do it to me.
They do it because they are crappy people. It's the same reason that women use men as back up plans.

But the answer is "same as chicks", I've been on the receiving end of such.

Don't worry!
You should feel proud about this:
"Or think they can walk into a woman’s life like she’s a revolving door. No man has ever been that lucky to use me like this ( not a text or phone call ) I usually ignore their texts and phone calls if they do they call or become extremely busy after no communication for a while."
I've been "used" like a revolving door, and I believe you should feel proud about not having being there.
You are hard to take advantage of, feel pride in that!
+1 yYou post a lot of questions with generalized negative assumptions about men as an entirety.

I feel like there’s much healthier ways to look at these issues you’re facing. Not a jab at you, but it doesn’t seem healthy to think like this al the time. You even said you don’t even want to talk to straight people at one point. Gotta change your perspective to a more positive outlook
- +1 y
I don’t but I’m making a comment about how you generalize men and groups of people in negative ways here a lot
- +1 y
It’s just a lot of consistent negative questions and comments about men. On this question you used the word “some” men but on others you haven’t. I just remember you telling me you won’t even talk to straight people anymore. I’m not trying to fight you fam. Just an observation

Maybe you get such negative responses from men because you generalize and come across as overtly defensive. Like you asking me if I need a tampon is defensive. That bitchiness that you put in the update. That’s all defensive. I’m relaxed right now hence why I’m not giving you an emotional response. If you chill and put those defenses down, you’ll prly have more pleasant interactions with men and straight people or other groups you generalize

Don’t want to sound like a hippie here but your questions and issues have a lot of consistency, and you really gotta look within to fix these things. These generic ass answers on gag won’t do anything for you. Bitches attract assholes. Assholes attract bitches. Want to keep dealing with assholes? Keep your defenses up by acting bitchy. It’s counterintuitive to what you want. You receive what you put out to the world.
