Lobouspo Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Is this happening more? If so, is it because social networks and OLD give people way more options than years past? So if you're a halfway decent looking woman, you can just flake out cuz there is always someone better a click away. 2
soccerrprp Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I agree that OLD has made things so much more complicated. So many more potential options and always looking for the next better thing....it's frustrating and crazy... and so many women, in particular, get the short end of it all, but it doesn't seem to change their behavior no matter how often they seem to get burned. Oh, well... 2
CptObvious Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 That's one way to look at it, but personally if I was an attractive woman I don't think I'd ever have to pay for food or gas for the rest of my life (well, at least until I'm 30-33.. which is kind of the same thing right?). To me, money looks the same coming out of anyone's pocket. Maybe OLD women get so many offers they can't entertain them all?

Leigh 87 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Who cares about people who flake. Forget them immediately, and wait until someone wants to get to know you badly enough. I am halfway decent, average I would say, and I had hundreds of offers at my fingertips online, where as in real life it takes longer to meet as many people!! I learnt to only meet people or request to meet people who your interested enough in, so as to not waste their time. I was straight up about meeting people. Non prospects. I simply told I was seeing someone and wanted to just make friends. SOME actually wanted to be my friend still! Literally, just a friend. Um.. Like 3.
kae Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 i dont think that`s the only reason. People also have experienced of being burnt and hesitate more with respect to dating. they pull out last minute which is awful to the other person but what i find even more rude is that their thoughts are only on themselves. the other party could have been hurt too.. and the behaviour they display is agonizing and kills hope in the other party. if your not ready, dont fake interest! 1
grkBoy Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I don't think it's any different than before the internet was deep in our lives. I was flaked on loads of times before OLD even really blew up. This was the 1990s. Only thing now is many men and women can "cold approach" a larger number of people through OLD. So you might get flaked on more because you approached way more people than you would offline.
