You are wrong about the cat/radio incident. That is a class moment :D Most people would find it funny. Maybe you should train you cat to step on the radio on cue next time.

Early rejection is good. She is not trying string you along. Black and white thinking can be problem for some people. You need to have some flexibility on what you hold people to account for. People can always change their minds.

If women are demons then you are Satan lol.

I always read here about "vibes", often "women feel vibes".

Women are humans and not radars, they don't feel vibes, vibes thing is magazines's talk and there's no such thing,women are not mind readers either.
There's what s called cause and effect instead of your vibes myth,the cause migt be anything ,maybe she got a date with a better male, remember females get tons of contacts on dating sites, maybe she hot scared of the idea....etc.whatever was the cause ,the effect was rejection.

What s sure tho that it was not something happened on the phone,if ken's story is true,then she wouldn't invite him at the end of the conversation. Oh,and no one can feel a "connection" based on a one phone combo,that silly. All these are execuses and the ones who beleive are naiive.

I second Janissy any the risks of Online dating for girls,If I had a daughter I wouldn't encourage her, not after the fake okcupid experience,it was crazy how many girls trusted this fake person I created and how many personel contacts,phones,personal emails he received with just simple manipulation.what if I was worse than just a pranker?What if i was a rapist or psycho? That was more scary than fun,good that hani is dead Now :p

Desperation and bitterness are a toxic brew. Those feelings act as a repellent to women. You might as well spray yourself with skunk juice. If you are exuding desperation and bitterness, you are wearing a neon sign saying "stay away from me".


I do my best not to come off like that. I try and stay positive. If I do come off like that, I wish people would tell me that instead of "don't know, just something about you."

Have you considered it might be your voice as such? Have you compared it to others in frequence and tone shifting?

Maybe, but I have a very hard time telling the differences with vocal tone and all that.

Ken, you're completely right - there's not really any excuse for what she did. But it still doesn't mean women are demons from hell. I've never had a problem with you being bitter about your past experiences because I can understand where you're coming from, it's just the attitude you took - e.g. the demons from hell thing, giving up, thinking all women are just b*****s - that I disagreed with.

I'm sorry this happened to you again. I'm sure it'll work out for you one day.

I know I'm very harsh and bitter. But when the same stuff happens to me 99% of the time with 99% of the women I'm interested in, how else would I be?

Did you show your picture before or after the phone convo?

I had 2 pics up on my profile that I assume she saw when I first emailed her and she looked at my profile.

Well we talked a little about football, she likes football and her job. I talked about my job a bit as well. There was one part when my cat stepped on and turned on my clock radio and I told her to hold on for a minute so I could shut it off. We talked a little about where she is from and her family a little too. Then we talked about meeting up tonight and those details. She told me she was on a cell phone and to end it I said I did not want her using up all those minutes, she mentioned to me she is only working part time. But I was looking forward to meeting and chatting more over dinner. we said goodbye and hung up. That was it.

To me I thought it went well, except for the part with my radio getting turned on. That was the only really long pause. I thought the flow went good and was a normal pace.


Well, from this I sense a bit of uncertianty & low-confidence. You mention how you wouldn't like her to waste minutes, but it's not your job to tell her. Maybe she's ok with it? You sound way too concerned about stepping on other people's toes to have a comfortable conversation. Ease up & go with the flow.

The same thing with the cat on the radio incident. You talk like that was such a big deal. Things like this happen, & it shouldn't rattle your cage like it did.

There is always the danger of easing up too much & coming off as a carless slob, but you don't seem like that kind of guy. You're probably just would too tight. All this rejection is taking it's toll. Don't let it continue too.

In that case then you've got every right to be annoyed. If she wasn't intrested she shouldn't have agreed to meet to you in the first place and had no right to waste your time like that.

I can't believe so many people are sticking up for her, it's so hypocritical considering how many people often complain about being mislead or being given mixed signals. start looking at your own double standards first before passing judgement.

Maybe the women you're Interested in aren't right for you. No offense but maybe you need to be a bit less judgemental of people? I was reading some of your old posts, you dumped your ex-girlfriend because she smoked pot.

You seem to target a tiny sliver of people... perhaps you need to give a wider range of people a chance.

One more reason why i shall state that internet dating is not a good way to go. The best way to get a date is in 3D. Real life. Not this internet stuff. (How ^&*%%^ NT for me to say that...I know more than anyone what you're going through - at least women are noticing you. No woman ever notices me in real life).

Okay, she cancelled on you. Big Deal! Maybe she wasn't ready yet - who knows what lurks behind beautiful eyes? Perhaps there just wasn't a connection. It is unfortunate, but it happens all of the time. Luckily for you, there are 3 billion other women to ask out. Sometimes, things just don't work out. And remember this; most have to go through hundreds of "no"s before they find that "yes". You have to just keep trying, and don't take rejection so hard.

Hear, hear! No more making excuses for their prejudices and dishonesty. They demand to be treated as human beings (whilst simultaneously treating men as objects), yet they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.
