This is not a sweet thing to say to a guy

Nothing wrong with what she said bro. Take it like a champ and move on.

Sounds better than being ghosted

At best, it's polite. At worst it's generic. Nothing to overthink.

I get you a little bit, but if she's a single woman herself then obviously if she says that then she doesn't want to date you; which is going to hurt however she puts it, and if she's with someone then honestly I think it's quite a nice thing to hear.

Women don't control how you feel. Your reaction is emotionally manipulative. If she doesn't feel it, move on. Clearly she isn't right for you if that's how you feel.

Since you don’t like sweeter rejections, let me be blunt. It sounds like you’re salty that you got rejected. The intention behind the words is to put you down softly. If you can’t understand that, then that’s your problem, not theirs.
My advice is to move on and not let things like that bother you. The more entitled and frustrated you get, the less likely you’ll find someone. Focus on yourself, find people who like the same things you like. Good luck!

"It's patronising, condescending and downright rude."
You need to re-evaluate your life if you care about this garbage, especially from a woman. Stop being so pathetic.

There are only 80

The sooner you accept that you’re just not every woman’s type the happier you will be. Just because you tick some boxes doesn’t mean they will all find you attractive.

It's like they're saying "you deserve someone who cherishes you unconditionally but it's not going to be me"

It genuienly stuns me how men are unaware of the existence of chemistry. Must be exteme desperation or most likely double standards. Chemistry cant be forced. I once dated a guy I couldnt stand just because he was sweet to see if chemistry can be forced and it definitely could not. Women say this to be nice to guys who whine all the time about being single, which iskt attractive by the way because it makes these men seem like they enjoy feeling sorry for themselves instead of enjoying being single and working on themselves. Its also just a comforting thing to say, same kinda thing your mom says when you get dumped. Its no big deal. Someone can think you are a great person without feeling that romantic chemistry. Im sure youve met someone at some point that you liked but didnt feel romantic love for, maybe even wished you did but you just couldnt because the spark was missing and if you havent experienced that then you will one day for sure. Maybe youre just so desperate you would date anyone though, which explains why you are single in that case. Its not normal to have zero standards.

Its all about their tone, how they enunciated words.

That's not the point. The point is a guy can't just click his fingers and create the girl you're talking about from dust.

Like what are we supposed to do, buy ourselves a life-size plastic female doll? I mean the way these responses are going, that's looking pretty tempting!

It isn't encouragement though. It's soul destroying. This is what women don't understand.

You're basically saying "yeah I fuck with you, I think you're a really sweet person with your heart in the right place, but any effort you put into me will ultimately be futile because I only really ever wanted you around so I could feel better about myself"

It doesn't work like that. It's not as simple as "finding someone else". If one woman thinks a guy is unattractive, chances are about 80 other women do too.

This is the one time you've given an answer I agree with, pinkpickle.

give me ONE activity you can do with a man that isn't sex.
