I've had many men avoid me just because I was friendly but I had NO interest in having a relationship with them. Are men so egocentric that just because you talk to them as a person they presume "you wanna be startin' somethin'?"

I learned that few days ago. We're only mail back n forth n chat. Sometimes I just flirt but I dont anything by it. And he sent excessived msgs. and somehow in that less than 48 hours he thinks he owned me or something. He used dif ID's to see if Im online or not? so this fake ID kept sending me req add b on messenger which I kept rejecting. and then to my curiosity I ask if he doesnt explain who is he, dont bother requesting!. And then using his real ID he went nuts on me cus Im was online but hiding from him. So he started insulting me, calling me names under the sun, calling me a scammer and made a threat that he gonna call the company that I'm gonna work with so they re-think twice before I start the job.
I know he got some problems comprehending things, and the "tunnel vision" he had in mind, arguing with him is pointless. My mistake was ignores the red flags from the start Im such an idiot

It is hard for me to say though I think that there might be some people that are just so hopeful they might not take the time to really examine the situation. OR....LOL, they just jump at anything that moves. I have read some profiles where the woman (in this case) actually made it clear in writing that they did not want to make friends and that they are here to meet a guy for long term relation only and to not waste their time with anything else. But for me I think that it has always been pretty straight forward when I met someone and it was not just to be friends. Maybe I have been fortunate in that those women were very open about their intentions and though that only happens on every 3rd year after a full moon, it is always a nice feeling when it finally happens and the feeling is mutual.
I've had many men tell me they could not be friends with a woman. It's a shame their nature prevents it. Even if they "say" they can be friends you can feel that they expect more. What a shame. Of course when they are old and gray and need someone to take care of them, they will be devoted, sincere, honest and compliant.

Prevalence of the instinct to mate over other thoughts may be?

Been there, done that, got the teeshirt! I should have got the hint when my ex-wifes best friend told me, "Run, Don't walk, Run and don't look back!" A Russian friend who I introduced her to said "Are you really sure? I think you are going to regret your choice". But as they say, love is blind, deaf and stupid, and by the time you realise what you have got into it's too late!

Hell NO!!! Friendly or not, I could care less if you the OP thinks that way, or anyone for that matter.

That's a good question kibaluv. I know several women who have only been friendly to a man, not flirty but when the man is rejected, his response has been to send nasty messages and photos to purposely try to humiliate them. I was amazed, really when I saw the content. I mean truthfully what woman wants to see a man considerably older in all his glory, rolls of fat on his stomach and something surrounded by a mass of grey hairs through lack of grooming, enough to turn your stomach. These types don't even bother to take care of their looks as they get older. All I can say is not all men are like that but sometimes the older ones are the worse especially the ones frustrated by the fact they cannot meet a woman and someone here has hit the nail on the head, these types are not looking for love just a fb if you get my drift..........A holes!!
Bogart_1960: Why do people generalize? (not men or women)
Because it is a useful method to make sense of the patterns of other people's behaviour, world processes, etc. Without generalization, there would be no science, neither natural, nor social. You could not establish any natural laws if you think they will be different every time. All leave on the tree are different, so should we not classify them as leaves of a particular kind of tree? You could also not describe basic economic model of supply and demand if you keep asserting that not all people's consumption patterns are the same. There are differences, of course, but supply and demand law is a real phenomenon. It is also a tool for survival - people had and still have to categorize threats, distinguish them from non threats, decide on reaction, and so on. You could not speculate that not all tigers are the same, and that this tiger jumping on you is probably different, he just wants to play rather than eat you. Most forum threads are generalizations. Otherwise all what you can talk about is just yourself. Kind of boring, no? And you get comments like: that is just you, we are different!

Of course I generalize, sometimes… (it is part of being human)… generalizations are fine as long as it is clear… but when is it too vague, I believe it does not bring any substance to a discussion.
Personal experiences are limited to a number/facts/unknown; when we are referring to a gender/group it is no longer effective to refer it as “generalization”. I called it prejudice… (if the questions was about race/profession/etc would be acceptable?)...
if the question was more like “Why do SOME men falsely…”….

I understand your point of view....
Not many people are very skilled (generalization, ha ha!) to construct effective conversation. "Why do some men falsely..." sounds rather like a title of a sociology essay and not a forum post expressing an experience and emotion. And the instinct to think in patterns is strong even if you are skilled ...

.... well, Hi! I am putting a word here, because I don't run into men very often that appear to "think" before saying something that makes sense.... with women I mean..;-) Ok, it may sound confusing, but it was a sort of compliment, to your comment (in the thread). May I ask what you do in your life...? M.
Because 99% if the women chase men for a relationship when they like them:) I have a good middle aged female friend, she is a very intelligent academic woman. Once she looks at me and says: "You know Vate, 99% of my girlfriends wants to get married"...
