He ignored my message but keeps viewing my stories. why?

[Anonymous]

why do men do this? he is almost 40. I asked him how he was and left me on seen. Now he views my stories here and there but doesn't comment or say anything.

Ugh that's super annoying and immature of him! Some guys just don't know how to properly communicate I guess. A few possible reasons he might be doing that:

- He's too shy/awkward to respond but still wants to keep tabs on you and what you're up to. Some guys just suck at starting conversations.

- He's playing games and acting aloof on purpose thinking it'll make you want him more. Dumb game playing like that would get old quick though.

- He may not be that interested in you but still likes the attention/ego boost of you noticing he's looking at your stuff. Kind of a jerk move on his part.

- He could be in a relationship or talking to other girls and doesn't want to lead you on, but still looks cause he's curious.

Who knows what's really going on in his head! The silent treatment thing would annoy me too though. I'd just stop giving him the attention if it were me and not bother wondering about it anymore. His loss if he doesn't wanna talk! Plenty of other guys out there who won't play games.

Why do women think looking at their dumb 'stories' has any sort of value, much the absurdly high amount they give it?
Viewing and liking a story (that you don't even have to search for) is literally a 15-30 second time investment. So almost no effort equals 'he must like me' it's complete insanity...🙄

[spartan55]

Maybe he's waiting for you to show some effort instead of doing nothing.

For some reason a lot of people get hung up on this identical question. One more time: He’s not chatting with you bc he’s not interested. He probably views your stories bc they HAPPEN to pop up with the standard notifications one App X (“X” being whatever tf app you think he’s obsessed with). He’s probably NOT stalking you. You’re giving yourself too much significance in his universe. He’s not talking to you… if he was interested he’s be bugging you almost daily.

[HappyWoman34]

He probably sees you as an acquaintance or a mate and doesn’t want to lead you on.

He is not that into you and he is probably dating other people in the meantime. You are solely one of the options.
That is what I would assume if someone did that to me.

[SotiCoto]

A decade or so ago this wouldn't have been an issue. He could have observed your comings and goings covertly. Now it lets you know everything that is going on.
You might be trying to ascribe some meaning to this and assume it is intended to communicate something... but he probably doesn't know you can see that he is watching.

Also quit with the "why do men" nonsense. You're talking about someone specific. Don't go assigning his behaviours to his entire gender.

Guys seem to play games like this sometimes, almost like they want to be chased rather than the other way around

[Dongie]

It's a give and take world. It's fun doing the chase it's also fun to be chased.

[paledreams]

If you're 30-35, and anonymous, why date a man who's 40 or just about 40? I mean I could believe 30 year old me still scoring 20 year old women however... it's a stranger gap when it becomes middle aged lol 🤣😆 of a 30 woman

[spartan55]

She's likely lying about her age. That's a given for pink anons.

[ProbablyClueless]

I freakin hate people who do stuff like that. He probably finds you mildly physically attractive, but can't be bothered to get off his ass to put effort into talking with you.

[sheikalana]

He doesn’t want to keep in touch with you but doesn’t mind following you on social media. Maybe he wants to keep you as a backup plan. Block him.

[LaurenM1997]

He’s being super childish but we need more context on what he’s doing

[Anonymous]

Why does anyone do that?

Views my stories? Sad!

[Dongie]

He's either rude but prolly he's not sure if he wants to persue.

[In_Trance]

Probably for the same reason that you're watching him

[HaleyWalker]

Exclude him from seeing your stories

[whistlingwh0res]

same reason as why women do

[Anonymous]

For the same reason women do.

[Anonymous]

Maybe he’s having second ideas

[DrPepper12]

Voyeuristic?
