P.S. I see people do this with their phones when somebody calls and i see it in person, being blatantly ignored, consistantly. This is just childish, self-centered and overall dishonest if you actually are casually in the life.

When people do these things, it has nothing to do with me, but themselves... that is why I am not upset by it, but confused. I am upset by such people for this ignorance and lack of compassion. I pity those that dont have enough love in their heart to make a small difference in somebody else's day.

Well, you say you aren't upset by this stuff yet you do seem to be.

I don't know what to tell you. People might ignore a call or an IM for a million reasons. Maybe they are driving in their car and don't have a headset so choose to just return it later. Maybe they are in the middle of an arm load of groceries. If online, maybe they are doing some of their job from home and can't stop at that moment. It could be that it isn't ignorance or lack of compassion so much as it was just a bad moment to stop what they were doing, no?

Tell him the truth Connie. Instant messages are the devil's tools.

Let me clarify. I am not mad at these actions, but these people. These actions are just a small part of the load of crap people do. And I am referring to times of my past, even though it is present here in the future.... I know for a fact that these times I speak of are not inconvenient or anything like this. If somebody had a bad moment, they call me back and let me know, or answer and let me know. They might forget to call back but let me know when I see them next. And yes, maybe they dont wanna talk to me... my point being I dont see whats so difficult about being real with somebody, wanting to talk or not. If you read my previous statements, I dont know how some can come up with such scenarios when I'm speaking of one specific.

(These people dont call back though. They avoid people at all costs until there is something to be gained from them. This isnt about one day where somebody kept me waiting.)

Nonsense, none needed. I made this not for pity or venting, but rather an expression to possible discussion. It is a query for the sake of learning, a debate even! I just dont do well with people who put themselves above others, act ignorantly and think selfishly. Judgment sucks, but it'll happen.
Nothin but love for ya girl, respect.

I am sorry if I have offended anybody or hurt feelings, a bad day doesnt excuse this. I simply wish communication between peoples was less assuming and more direct and open. I do not wish to be rude, I am just frustrated with the current state of life, the human race and our 'beloved' government.

On that note, **** the court system

They might be busy doing something else

They might not really be online.

Maybe they just cant be bothered.

Who cares? I dont worry about it. Im probably gonna be the one doing the ignoring anyway.


yeah i leave my stuff on all the time (bad habit i guess) and people will message me thinking i'm actually there then get all pouty when i don't answer.

This always hits a nerve... even some of my friends today do this.

You can see them online (AIM, yahoo, etc.) but they dont ever initiate messaging.

For my buds... I dont need anything from em, but if I saw somebody I know, I'd atleast say hi.

How come all the girls I meet tell me I'm interesting and have really good conversations... excited to talk again, but doesnt unless I message first (which I dont care messaging first, but it'd be nice to actually see somebody wanting to talk rather than feeling obligated to respond). Maybe this is something you women do, 'playing hard to get' or some dumb ****, but the only message that I see is you are trying to be nice, but really dont care to put up with me. Even hints and references are very easily blurred. I (and probably most men) would rather you be blunt and possibly rude rather than try to let us down softly.

"What are your thoughts, Hobbson?"


I will sometimes not instigate convos via IM because I feel like I'm pestering if I do. I don't wanna feel like I'm taking the person I'm IMing away from what he or she SHOULD be doing. I'm not so special as to think I can just barge in and IM away.

I do believe that women do like to be chased...it is a game that has started at the beginning of time. Women are very smart and do not general respond well to men that appear to be desperate or that over chase. It is a game of mystery and someone actually fiqures it out I would not mind knowing as well. Although it does seem that if you got a women wants she will let you know sometimes I think it not always said but, you can see it in their eyes, or that quaint and cute grin. (Oh, thats a turn on....) :smile:

Wisdom from my grandmother.

"if a man wants a woman, and she has no interest in him... He can move mountains and walk on water and she will not care."

"If a woman wants a man there is nothing he can do to stop her... She will have him".

Dont pursue unless there is interest... your wasting your time.

I used to think this was a bit stupid... But time has shown her to be right.

Keef, I can relate. But have you ever had a problem with scammer/spammers who IM you out of the blue and act as if they are interested in you? Then when you get the sense something isn't right, a red flag goes up in your gut? Man, I've had way too many scammers from South Africa and whatever country contact me...prolly tryin to see if they can get a free ticket to America. It's bs, I tell you.

Hang in there, man.

I agree.

However, it's up to the guy ( and don't ask me why because I have no freakin idea ) to do the chasing. Whether that means initiating the conversations, or being the one to ask the other out.

I'll add my own bit into this.

What annoys me is when a woman says she'd like to get to know you, but when you talk to them, they don't ask a single damn question.

I have run into this NUMEROUS times. I'll ask questions...but she won't ask a thing about me. I have to give her the information.

Sorry, but if you were actually interested in getting to know me, I would figure you would have at least a FEW questions about me.

Wise words good sir, I will be sure to incorporate this lesson to my son, hopefully he will have a better start than I.






Again, I am sorry to all. Terrible day, terrible people, no herbs = sourpuss.
Thanks to the open-minded and thoughtful, goodnight.

That is certainly a complete frustration. Its those type of people that make me wonder why I even try, but of course there are plenty of incredible women to keep me goin.
