That's why I ignore men I'm not interested in, they never fail to take a "No" as "Let me try again," or my favorite, "Let me tell you why you should want me" and if you still don't, you must be a raving ***** or a lesbian. So yeah, I just ignore, less messy....

I think, as a man, they are just plain idiots. No is not a conquering word. it is all about the quest. I think ignoring them them is indeed less messy, but telling the truth leaves less of a bad taste. JMO

I don't feel like taking the time to explain why I'm not interested. Sometimes, there's not even a real reason, I just don't like them.

I figure a non-reply is sufficient. When people ignore me, I know they're not interested, I don't need an explanation. More fish in the sea and all that. Plus, I avoid confrontation whenever possible, I don't do well with it...

Not responding is the correct way to address unwanted interest. If you send a polite no you are offering the opportunity for others to argue a point that is not to be debated. No response is appropriate if no further communication is desired. To eliminate behavior it is necessary to extinguish by non response the best way to eliminate unwanted attention..

Not difficult...You cage up enough of anything with the majority being male and it will turn into a match to the death.

One woman...10 guys, oh, and lonely guys at that.

Says me and a quick estimation, you do the leg work...How many men to women are on the forums? How many men to women are on any dating site for that matter?

It isn't science...Relatively easy addition.

Men? What makes you think that only men do it?



I keep saying "No" to all the girls who line up at my front door, but they won't go away.

Sigh. Such is the drawback to my Melmacian awesomeness.

Well, I've had at least two women on here giving me what I thought were mixed messages but of course they insisted that they only ever wanted to be friends.

What actually happened was that they said that the circumstances or time weren't right. One of them told me that it was because I'm in Scotland but then she told me about another guy on here from Scotland that had invited her over here for a dirty weekend and that she was considering it. I asked her why she was telling me about it and if she expected me to make her a better offer.

So yeah, sometimes they do give you daft excuses and give you reason to believe that you might talk them round. They like you and say that they think that you are a great guy, so you ask them what the problem is then. "Not my type" says absolutely nothing and it can even be quite insulting or make them sound as if they think that they are better than you. I dare say that most of them do think that, or they are lesbians or gold diggers or something.

But not to worry; I don't go on the internet because I need people on it to validate my existence, as some do. Just came on here for dating and they're either interested or they aren't. Frankly, I think that Mingle sucks a bit as a dating site and you can do a lot better in the real world where people aren't going to make snap judgements based only on what information you have on your profile. Saying that, some do like my profile and the last girlfriend that I met through this said that she liked everything about it.
