At my house. I just sent messages saying they were not welcome. Time to move on. Sometimes thats easy other times very hard.

I've experienced 3 types of ghosting.

1. The woman gives me her phone # but doesn't answer or return voice mails. OK just move on.

2. Dated a woman for over a year. She would go dark for 2-3 weeks then back to normal. Her daughter told me she does that to her also. I talked with her about going dark and I thought she needed to change her depression medication (prescribed by her PCP) and seek out MH professionals. Always responded she couldn't take time off from work (she was 67 and financially comfortable) Finally I ghosted her and finally answered after 2 weeks. Asked her how it felt and that was the way I felt every time she did it. I was not going to be hurt anymore and I wanted her to know why I was calling it off. Time to move on.

3. Then there was the woman I dated for several months (the first guy she dated since her husband passed according to her). Ghosted me then finally sent a text saying she was in an exclusive relationship. Saw her several times after at social get togethers and she would not even look at me. I finally got her aside and told her I thought her actions were bush league for n at my houseever considering any feelings I might have Then they had the gall to sign up for a social get together

I am sorry, I do not understand why anyone would want to dominate another human being. Everyone is worthy of respect, kindness, honesty, and helpfulness, to do otherwise is to devalue oneself. It is no wonder women do not think any man would be worth any effort at all once this way of being is attempted. The reason I say attempted is that there is always a price to pay for what one does to another. To treat anyone else inauthentically is to say one wants that in return. I do not want this and so I do not do this. All one can do is care for themselves. All one can do is try and see what happens.

Since the internet, it is much easier to be"picky" for everybody, thank gawd! People: Porn is nothing like actual sex! Romance novels are nothing like real life!

I was about to say "men are taught . . .", but we aren't taught anything about dating. So let me say that men are led to believe that persistence is manly, and that we shouldn't give up easily. I hope somebody is teaching something to today's future-men about this.

The sad thing is that he is probably selling something to some poor, vulnerable guys.

I watched a few minutes of that video and thought I was going to be physically ill. No wonder women are becoming less and less trusting of men if there are actually creeps out there selling tactics on how to intellectually and emotionally manipulate us. Disgusting!

I couldn't get past the intro.

Does anyone die at the end, using these tactics?

Looking for spoilers.

I don’t think so Claudius . But nice try .

I will just be me. There is chemistry or there isn't. It is not complicated.

Oh.
My.
God.

See ladies, we don't just get scammed by women: It didn't happen overnight, but I eventually came up with a step-by-step system that had women falling in love with me. Because, you know, he read dozens of romance novels to see what these fictional men were doing to attract fictional women in these fictional stories.

Man are we ever stupid.

Well, ain't that the bitter truth! Works both ways. Gotta be tough and move on. Ghosting is a door quietly closing in your face. But skip the long-winded wind-up to a scammy ad linked there in that post.
