Why would a guy be downplaying knowing me after sending him a kind message?

[Anonymous]

He knows exactly who I am and I understand that he’s married with a child but I just reached out thanking him for being kind in the past in our teens

he follows a couple of my family members.

but I felt a bit disrespected by how he was acting

there was no disrespect to his relationship or anything inappropriate on my part

Most women have a hard time understanding this but it's really really really insanely rare for women to say anything kind or uplifting to men. It's so rare that when most men get a compliment from women, we assume she's romantically interested because we've never had a woman give us a compliment without wanting something more.

I guess so but I did get very upset because he treated me like I mattered to now being a jerk… it hurt my feelings but I’m happy that he’s a husband and father

Way different person goofy and rapper wannabe.. he matured so I wasn’t surprised I just thought he had a kind heart

[ProbablyClueless]

I feel yah. I hate the way people change up sometimes. Did you know him well?

[Asker]

Not really

[ProbablyClueless]

That's good at least

Problem to keep the peace with his wife , she might be a jealous type and doesn’t want her husband talking to single girls. So he is downplaying you for that reason

[Asker]

All I did was thank him dang

[Finchie40]

Yea don’t blame yourself , just some couples get weird when it comes to opposite sex people contacting them.

[Asker]

Yet he follows sexy women online but me thanking him for being kind is messed up..

He's trying to keep his wife from feeling disrespected. Married men have to be careful about their interactions with single women.

Maybe his partner is the jealous type and he's trying to make it seem unimportant.

[Asker]

She seems like she’ll beat my ass but it wasn’t like that

[Shiprex]

Maybe she'll beat HIS ass so that's why he's downplaying it and perhaps has a rather toxic relationship with her.

[Asker]

That I don’t know but she seems cool. You’re right she may whoop his ass

[Shiprex]

Yeah fyi "whoop ass" has to be one of the funniest terms to come out of America thanks for the chuckle

[Asker]

lol oh we love saying whoop some ass here with a quickness

And we say it a thousand ways lol

[Shiprex]

A whoop to me is a sound when your team is winning lol

[Asker]

Not a whoop here. You crying begging for mercy

[Shiprex]

LOL yeah I would be only because it's making me laugh and that probably would make the whoopin' even more whoop ass

[Asker]

Lmao 🤣
