    I’d rather get something like this instead of seeing it die off slowly and then not getting a straight answer or getting blindsided. Just rip the bandaid off—be honest about what’s going on. If you can’t learn to handle these situations and handle your emotions in a reasonable manner, then maybe you shouldn’t be dating yet…

    One girl dumped me after a few dates, nothing special, and she was super apologetic. She said she’d understand if I called her a fucking bitch and blocked her. I was so offended by that comment. I’m not one of those insecure guys who flips out when they get rejected. I can handle being dumped! I can’t believe she thought so lowly of me! Fucking bitch!

    Y’know, I’m fine with it because it is at least professional. Better than getting ghosted or them being rude about it.

      It’s hurtful that they think I’d even be threatening and nasty. That they just immediately assume I’m some kind of monster. It makes me feel like I have no value.

    Is it really all that surprising that when

    1. Dating, especially with apps, has become for so many such a soul-crushing impersonal numbers game
    2. Enough people (but mostly fragile men) become menacing upon being rejected
    3. Enough people keep complaining about how bad it feels to get ghosted

    someone would end up sending this?

    Jesus Christ, try and get into other people’s shoes from time to time.

    So, ghosting is bad and evil. At least tell the man you aren’t interested! Men are suffering due to ghosting! But also, don’t put him down when rejecting him. Men have to suffer so much rejection, so their ego is easily hurt. Let him down gently!!

    Oh, you did? Well let me mock you for being TOO nice and diplomatic about it 😂.

    Damn I’m so happy I’m not dating anymore. Feels like no way to do it right.

      Fair enough statement about some of the comments here, but at least the original poster in the screenshot is taking it in good stride like you’re supposed to with a polite rejection.
