The top 10 rejection lines given by women.

Not dumping - that's the point. If they became interested
enough that my sparkling personality showed through
(as opposed to just grumbling at them to get the ****
away ), then perhaps they'd tolerate. But, one of
the first things that they ask this dour curmudgeon is
age. Always a bad move, since it opens them up for
my tasteless humor - but there it is.

Dude, you aren't dateable anyway, you are married, right? Legally? Was that you? I jump around talking to people in PM and on different forums and I'm still confused. I suppose it will get better with time.

Secondly, if you omit or evade the age question, one wonders what else was omitted? Hmm? Omission of facts can still be lying. If you know that the person is interested only in someone within a few years of their own age, and you don't tell them, you are lying.

Is there any real evidence of this "sparkling personality"? I don't get that feeling at all, I see the "dour curmudgeon" though. If it wasn't for the bird avatar...

LePetitePrince! What do you mean "yeah, right" with rolling eyes. Don't you roll your eyes at me, mister.

If I am celibate (I keep wanting to write "celebrate" and there isn't anything TO celebrate, LOL), none of the other things are going work, right? I'm just not going to have sex with anyone. Not until I have thought about it, and discussed it with that person. I might date though. Eventually it might get around to sex.

What are you talking about when you discuss rejection? Sex? You mention dating too. Dating ≠ sex, sex ≠ dating. Love ≠ sex, sex ≠ love. Those things are only present in tandem if the price is right. No, that's a game show. If the chemistry is there. Each of those can be individual, or combined. I want them all combined. That's just me. At my life stage now.

Some people like to date a lot, and don't make commitments and don't have sex either. Some people seem to fall in love, without even having dated or have had sex. Some people have sex, just to have sex. Obviously people are weird.

The age thing can be daunting if a person isn't into it. Especially older women, younger men. For the biological reason. If the woman has not had kids, and does not want to have kids, and the younger man does... Too bad. Too late. There is adoption and surrogate mothers. But the woman will not be bearing his child.

Age in regards to an older man, younger woman, the child thing still is there. She might be able to have his kids, even if she's 20 now and he's 40. She's got a good 10 years. And another 10 years after that which are fairly good. But what about daddy's age? Daddy will be 50 if mama has baby at 30. Daddy will be 60 and thinking retirement if mama has baby at 40.

My mum died at 81. My dad died at about... hmm...maybe 65? So daddy dies at 65, when the child is 5 years old? Or at 15 years old? Yah, mama can remarry, but most mama's that want to have the father around, they want him around for the entire child-raising process. Not to keel over before the child is self-sufficient.

THAT is why there is an age problem. Reproductive strategy. Financial and emotional security.

LePetitePrince, I am afraid to ask, but here goes... Are you sexually attracted to every female on the face of the planet? Are you? If not, there are going to be some you think of in other ways. Like as friends. And you won't keep a girlfriend long if you cheat on her, because some other girl comes along and propositions you and you fail to mention that you have a girlfriend.

In some employment situations, relationships are heavily frowned upon, and one or both of you could lose your jobs. So much for working on a career, you can now work on finding a new job. Which will be kind of complicated, because you'll have no fixed schedule and will have to back out of dates at the last moment if you get called in for a good interview.

Yes, I realize that some people DO play games. I know that. I don't know why. I know some people lie. I know people cheat and steal and beat and kill. But everyone doesn't. I don't.

And sometimes during the dating process, that started off with being very attracted to someone, it just fizzles out. It's not you, it's me. No, really, it's me. All me.

Let's say you really did like someone, who gave you one of those lines. And she WAS telling the truth. And you get all snippy about it.

Later on (weeks later?), you see her with someone new. And you sarcastically say something. And she says that things are now uncomplicated, just like she said they would be, and now she is dating again, isn't celibate, and this guy is the new boyfriend.

You THOUGHT she was blowing you off. She really DID have something to get done. Once done, she was free to date again. She wasn't blowing you off. But you blew it. And all this blowing isn't happening to you. hahaha.

I'm really terrible today.

nb411, you are confusing Love and Limerance:

Oh, you have no idea...
...Or maybe I was just too stupid to understand.

4. It's not you, it's me. (It's you.)

The line I heard when I asked 1 Girl once: You're funny + cute in all but it'll never work out between you and me.

Translation: f**k you, you creep as if I'd go out with you.

The best way I have found to break it off with a guy, and it depends on the guy, start talking marriage and children, then start collecting the wedding books. Push the wedding books under his nose at every available instant. This doesn't work for all, but for most.

Guys use some of these. I've used this one recently.

I had a good female friend call me her brother. I did like her, but i was confused about the nature of our friendship, the big bro bit cleared it up, and i can return the feeling, so i call her lil sis. Things were much mroe stable.
