The fact of the matter is, ANYBODY who does this to someone is disrespectful and isn't worth giving a second chance to.......PERIOD. If they don't respect you enough to pick up a damned phone, then they don't deserve your attention.

Men only "do" what we allow them to "do" to US. This mans behavior sets the tone for how he is going to act later on down the line. IF something would develop between you and him, he would already know that his bad behavior is tolerate because at the very start he stood you up and he got away with it.

Unless the man in question is in an unforseen circumstance, standing you up and not calling is the epitome of rudeness, disrespect and immaturity.

Don't go out with him again, if you do it's at your own peril.

IF you think that's OK then you are setting yourself up to be a literal doormat for this sort of thing to happen over and over again.

You deserve to be treated better and with respect!

I have to say I didn't find her particularly offensive and disparaging in her remarks about the male demographic...that was taken care of by some of the other contributors.conversing

In my opinion..I think alot of people lie about who they are and/or have fake pic up so when it comes time to finally actually meet someone they back out..confused

This is true in many cases, they are living in a fantasy world, just feeding of the attention of others at everyones expense.

Here is what I usually tell a woman before we even start our first date:

"Remember, I'm not the one who jaded you."


Of course I haven't said that in over a year, because that is how long it has been since I've had a datevery mad

I was kinda hoping we would hear from a few more men...specifically ones who have actually stood up a woman with no call.

We women can offer explanations til the cows come home, but it doesn't tell us what's going on in a man's mind.

I think we already know...1) the interest might not be there 2)another "priority" came up which made us an "option", but until a man actually tells us "WHY" he does such a thing, we can only guess.

Men, what do you have to say? I think it's important for women to know. Perhaps it's a problem you have with women that we can correct.

And, before any bashing goes on, I will state that I am fully aware that this goes on with women standing up men. I cannot answer why to that question because I have never done that.....And, I have no reason to believe I ever will.

Just my thoughts.

hey I think that if she was willing to go out with me that is validation enough. I have never stood up a lady on our date night. I have called the ay before due to an unforseen circumstance. if I make a date neither hell or high water will keep me away.

Women will say in their favor and men will defend themselves...

But since it should be honestly replied so here it is.

Being a man, the percentage of what I say I will do and when I actually able to do is about 95%, I attend all commitments I make, realize them and try to do more than 100% but smetimes there are situations where I have to deviate ( keep the related people in confidence ofcourse ).

I must agree not only the fact many people cannot fulfill their commitments made in general life but I would also mention that women forget more OR atleast they deviate alot...Am i right?
