Because at the really big "guy" meeting that we all have before one us goes out on a date, we told him that he shouldn't go because he had the reputation to keep. I mean...if he would have shown up, then us guys wouldn't be known as no-shows would we.


that is just so dysfunctional

the biggest threat to ur relations is a guy's friends - hey it's my motto and I aina dummie

I think it just comes down to the fact that most peopleoids think they know what they want...but don't.

That sounds about right....

I have never been stood up on a no show level, but i have had a couple where they backed out ahead of time, and then never bother to reschedule after...cold feet maybe or just not that interested anyways.

Why do guys do this?
They pursue then make a date email back and forth to set a day, time and place....then they don't show-up....WTF

It's happened to me in the past.

It wasn't the first time I was meeting the guy though.

His excuse was that he went out of town and didn't want to tell me so he thought not showing up was somehow better.

whoa

Bullsh!t.

I ended it there without caring what the "true" reason was.

:thumbsup:

Actions speak louder than words.

ill note this as well.. it happens in person too ones you know.. say oh ill call ya tomorrow.. or lets go out again in a couple of days... a month passes then they say sorry.. wanna go out for dinner tonight? humm ugh no... why would i? i have better things to do than to set my time aside for someone like you who only wastes it!laugh laugh i think it is this... they do it to see how much disrespect they can put on you...cause that is all they are about anyway.. looking to treat a woman like s***. most definitely not my type of man nor should it be yours... NEXT?laugh

Male or female, I think a lot of it comes down to the type of person you're interested in ;)

I would guess that's the case anyway. Only had it happen (recently) with a 21 year old college girl ... maybe she had a different mindset to a lot of older women. But that's only a couple of years younger then me, so .... =/

No shows....WTF
Why do guys do this?

I cannot even imagine this scenario.
It would seem to me, that you need to
build up a little more 'want' in your
dates.
So they would rather lose a testicle,
than a date with you.


I had altogether two dates in my life.

I could not afford any more.

That's quite a bit of work when all you have to do is say you just became intimately acquainted with your "inner" self.

As a guy who has been stood up a LOT, I can say that this sucks. Kick him in the shin if you see him again. :banana:

I've been stood up by two people. One tried to justify it, saying that he ended up having something else to do and that it was just easier not to call. slaphead
