why do men assume that a woman isn't interested just because she had to log off the site to take care of her responsibilities for a few minutes?

It could be that some dudes are a wee bit more sensitive than others.

This is something I'm particularly guilty of- I'll assume that the little lady's got better things to do than to deal with me, so I'll "cut bait" and pout for a while.

Stupid stuff, huh?

as long as when you log off you let them know why.you are leaving they should understand

its not that we are not interested but I would think a man would realize that just because I have to get off for a few minutes doesn't mean I'm giving them the brush off

I know at times we women can be sensitive about stuff, and considering some men make so many jokes about womens' sensitivities, I am shocked by how many times I've run into overly sensitive MEN on here, with much the same situation you describe. Some have taken it SO PERSONALLY, even when I've outright SAID "I need to do ________________. Be back later".

You can't see the other person. You must build a picture of them as you talk back and forth. Otherwise the person is seemingly unreal. So this guy drew a picture in his mind that you were angry or whatever and logged out.

Tell them you had to take care of your kids (or whatever) and keep talking. Correct their visual picture.

Good, then you showed concern for their feelings and he was an idiot if he kept on thinking you were "not interested". Just move on to someone else, you don't need those mental issues.

I think its because, as guys, we don't know what responsibilities are. In fact, I think you just made that word up so you can confuse us with this post.

Because they spend 24/7 on the internet and assumes everyone else is exactly like them...

Blech!
