We’ve all experienced it, things were going fantastic, the vibe was strong and then one tiny thing doesn’t go smoothly or even an awkward moment or a late reply to a text and boom gradually the interest begins to fade. The time in between responses grows, the eagerness to meet up dwindles and the bullshit excuses start rolling in. Their behavior when this happens and the signs they’ve lost interest are so consistent that it is extremely predictable and easy to tell and that makes it even more irritating, they are like robots.

I can think of countless instances where all of the stars were aligned, my game was solid and the attraction was strong, only to have them flake out of nowhere. Popular logic dictates that there HAS to be a good reason, but I am pretty damn analytical and I have come up empty every time this happens. I should mention I will be the FIRST to admit when it was caused by something within my control or a misread by me overestimating my standing with her before things went south.

Yet you can’t vent about or even hint at this anywhere, despite it having a huge impact on men’s mental health, without being attacked, called an Incel, and told you must hate women.
