Why don't men call?

In My Humble Opinion
21

Men who ask for your number but don’t call you are chicken-shits. They do, however, fall into two categories:

  1. They didn’t like the date, but wanted to get out of there without a big hassle, so they pretended they did, and asked for your number. They never planned to call you.

  2. They may have liked the date, but are afraid you didn’t and/or wouldn’t want to see them again, so rather than risk rejection, they’d rather just sit alone in their squalid apartments eating mac and cheese straight out of the pan.

I was usually a type-3 chicken-shit, i.e. worried about rejection to the point of just not asking people for their number. Type-3’s are more lame, but don’t bother anybody at least. Once I got over that, I saw no reason not to call if I liked someone. Rejection? Pah!

I’m phone-phobic. I don’t even like calling my friends on the phone. I’m much more comfortable talking to people in person. That said, for years I made up excuses not to call for dates. Then I started forcing myself. Now it’s not very difficult at all.

There’s about a 90% intersection of guys you find
attractive with all the other women out there - about
10% of the guys.

So most of the time you’re competing with a lot of other
women, and that minority of men have learned they can treat
women like dirt. There’s plenty more.

So most women can honestly post on here that men don’t call
them back. Also, most men can post that they honestly do
call women back.

Yes, I realize I’m painting with a brush so big it covers the
whole canvas with one swath.

As a male, I could ask the counter-question, with an equally generalizing tone:

“Why do women always prefer the men who are jerks?”

[sub]Of course, I don’t believe that’s true. Anymore.[/sub]

Isn’t there any industry-standard of 2 or 3 days? Well OP, maybe you should watch Swingers, there’s a whole scene on this very topic.

Moderator’s note:

Yepper, you ain’t alone, Mahaloth. Please try to keep this discussion civil and above personalities, folks. I’m guessing the OP put this in IMHO seeking a somewhat rational discourse.

I don’t like to call cause I have to use a relay operator to do the thing & it freaks people out. I just use email instead. Women give their email address a lot faster than their phone numbers.
