ORIGINAL: DesFIP The reason they don't offer a rejection is that usually when women do reject men, men respond badly. They send hate filled rants. They insult the women. They issue death threats. It's a lot safer to just disappear. I call cop-out on this. Why do all guys get lumped into this "oh that's because men respond badly" argument. Does anyone handle rejection well, probably not. But believe it or not, there are a majority of us guys who not only would welcome the "I don't think we click" email, I for one would pay cash money for it. Any response if better than being left in the miasma of unknown internet rejection. Sorry, but that's just not true. When I first started out on this site, I'd sent guys a courtesy 'thanks but no thanks'. The vast majority of them replied by acting wholly uncivil in response. Sure there was a guy here and there who appreciated it, but they were the minority, and few and far between. And, on top of that a good percentage of the guys who did take it well would then later come back and whine about why I was rejecting them, or demand that I'd explain it to them (to which they then proceeded to tell me that I was wrong for having the reasons I rejected them for), or they'd insist on keep trying over and over again no matter how many times I told them I wasn't interested. In the end, the percentage of men that would take a 'thanks but no thanks' well, and without further wasting my time, was incredible small. You might think that the average guy would take it decently, but they don't. They just really don't. Over the years I've gotten pretty good at predicting how a guy will react to a 'thanks but no thanks', and the few I think will respond decently I will still provide the courtesy of sending on too, and even then, when I'm being super selecting with whom I send them too, I still misread the guys frequently enough that getting hate mail, whining, aggression, or entitlement in response isn't a rare occurrence. In fact, taking into account how frequently it still happens, I consider it quite a testament to how I AM trying to be decent to guys (while they're, on average, not at all decent in response). Considering how often attempting to be civil backfires, I don't blame any woman for just blocking a guy immediately if she's not interested. I know you want to think of the average guy as being pretty decent, but I'm sorry, the vast majority of them -on this site- just aren't decent and civil after you reject them. If you really are, you're a huge exception. A HUGE exception. Too bad that there isn't some surefire way to communicate that to the women out there, because it would give you a much better shot at getting one to write you back, even if it was for a 'thanks but no thanks'...
