OK I officially don't get OKCupid - it's easy to hookup on there but the last few girls that I've hooked up with have gone TOTALLY cold (no contact) after hooking up a few times.

Like we'll go out, have a couple drinks and go back to my place. Then we'll do it again... And then a few times after that, and then NO CONTACT EVER AGAIN! I'm not getting clingy - I make it known after the second date that I don't go into this whole thing looking for any specific thing but I'm down with dating.

I don't think I'm a "player" - I don't hook up with people I wouldn't want to see again.

Do girls just get weird about casual dating or something? They've all been cool people....

They probably just lost interest. A lot of people using online dating don't see cutting cold from either messaging or dating as a big deal, because they don't really owe it to you and you're just someone they met. This happens in real life, by the way.

My guess is that those girls were seeing other guys at the same time as you, things began to heat up with someone else, and they turned their attentions that way. They didn't want to "break it off" because they want to have you on reserve.

Messaging or dating is fine, but if we've actually hooked up once or twice... Like I don't feel I'm OWED anything, but a "hey I had fun but I met somebody I really want to date" sucks WAY less than just going blank.

And no it does not happen IRL - I've never met a girl in person, asked her out, hooked up and then had her go totally cold.

people, and women especially, tend not to do this as other people, guys especially, are really bad at handling rejection and will suddenly become abusive.

if I was a woman, I'd just go dark too. don't take it personally, it's a needed defense mechanism from male rage and entitlement

I mean it's cool if you just wnet on a single date or maybe two to do the fadeaway but once you're loving it's really weird to do it. I def wouldn't just ignore texts/calls from a girl if my weiner's been in her even if I wasn't feeling it no more. it's actually kinda sad when girls reject me and then when I react like a normal person they're like "aww you're one of the good ones" when it should be how a guy handles that poo poo every time but I guess a lot of guys are psychos???

do you really just not understand women this much? yeah enough guys flip poo poo that women don't want to risk having to send out a rejection letter each time some guy doesn't pan out. you're either going to get some boo hoo about "give me another shot," some fuckboy calling you a slut, or some Eliot Rogers shithead. it isn't worth the risk because guys just can't be cool about the game.

I actually kinda get it - from our perspective yea if we hook up with somebody then we are cool and all good and chill and poo poo.

But I've also never been called names by a girl who i thought was capable of hurting me, whereas that's a real fear for women who tell a guy they don't want to hook up anymore because they met another guy they want to date more for whatever reason.

I was bumming earlier but I for real got some perspective today. And it kinda sucks even more.

But i just moved to a new city in a new state so I've been more into online dating than I was before.

I had a lot of female friends but none of them ever said "I cut off contact with guys because I don't want to be scared of their reaction."

I know you're just being a dick for fun, i just honestly never considered that point of view before. I've known thats its different with online vs in person dating i just never knew that a woman would hook up with a guy but still want to cut off contact entirely vs risking telling him.

I didn't have girl friends that did that but I'm just saying that i get it now - like I said, new perspective.

You're interesting/attractive enough to gently caress a few times but not what they're specifically looking for. You can decide for yourself how you feel about being Dane Cook

i didn't get it until I was like 22 and stopped being a shithead. 29 is beyond pale. when you let go of that insecurity and can take a hint when the fadeaway happens it's amazing how much your life changes for the better.

also strange how women will be way more open about what they want when you aren't throwing the oblivious, possible fuckboy vibe out there. odd how obsessive dumbfucks get the fadeaway a lot more, huh?

yeah this too. confidence is really just letting go of your insecurities over any form of potential rejection and knowing exactly what it is you want. you'd think it'd be more obvious, but there are tons of dudes who just cannot or will not get it because they're not wanting the insight.

Cutting someone out like that seems like it could create the very reaction that these women fear. It provokes me at least.
Normal rejection i can deal with. But if you just disappear i am going to keep calling and sending emails until i get a loving response.
Then i`ll never contact you again once i know what`s up.

if I was a woman, the best way to filter out trashdicks would be to wait 48 hours before replying to the first online dating message anyone sends. anybody who sends an unprompted follow-up is automatically out of the running.

I met my current girlfriend in person (on a plane of all places), and she still played the intentionally slow response game with me. it drove me crazy at the time, and months later she told me it drove her crazy, too, that I didn't send another message until she did, but that's the dumb brain game of feigning disinterest we all have to play.
