"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It is hard to say without knowing all that information.

But I understand what you mean; certainly I'm not suggesting that technology is the sole cause of such phenomena but could it be possible that it is another exacerbating factor in addition to those individuals factors you mentioned? (perhaps it "facilitates" such behaviour)

Of course, there is the other view that the individuals engaging in such behaviour are frustrated at their limited capacity to "change" this forum (or feel increasingly isolated from this community), and so they now seek to destroy it (possible troll attacks?)... although this view may be a bit dramatic as it mirrors certain theories of extreme violence by clandestine groups (let's not get into that!).

Good points. One thing that has always stood out to me is the need that some people have to evoke change. Don't get me wrong, I love change; life is dynamic and not static. However, some have a seemingly innate need to force external changes, as if their existence is dependent upon it; it's their validation. It seems as if accepting things that are beyond their control are not options they are willing to accept.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yeah, I don't understand it either...

Anyway I don't have anymore points relating to this topic, do you? :D

Perhaps we should let them get back to it!
