We don't condone ghosting, yet we gotta admit that we've all been guilty of committing the act just as much as other people. At this point, we're pretty sure ghosting is a curse that has been bestowed upon our generation, so we better buckle up. In an AskMen thread, a woman just wanted to understand why men ghost, even though she's totally aware that women do it too. She just wants some answers, and gosh, we get where she's coming from. The men of Reddit were glad to give her some insight into the male psyche when it comes to ghosting.

    If we're stupid, crazy, and evil enough to chase a guy, away, we're honestly impressed with ourselves.

    Font - AlbinoBlackHole · 3 hr. ago Had several dates with someone and we had a good-great connection together. Long story short: my life was a s. it show at the time and I didn't want to bring her down with me in my spiral. Eventually sought help to get back on track and didn't start dating again for several yrs

    Font - sectorfour · 3 hr. ago Married now, but when I was single: Because we really didn't have a good connection. Or maybe I Iike someone else more. All the times I've tried to let women down easy turns into a bunch of attitude and shitty remarks from them. So if we've only been on a date or two, or just a couple of phone calls, I'm not going to waste the effort. You get ghosted.

    Font - Lazy_Naps · 3 hr. ago I've only ghosted some one once and it was because if I ever talked to them they would only respond with one word answers and never really have anything to say. Never talk first either just was really hard to have a conversation with them

    Font - No_cats_in_hell · 2 hr. ago Male Didn't know how to handle rejecting someone when I was in my mid 20's and it was my first real relationship. I just was out of my element. It's one of my great regrets that I did that to a person. I was not mature, I didn't' know what to do and I didn't' ask anyone for help to walk me through it. I messed up.

    Font - hoobi47 · 2 hr. ago I've only ever ghosted one person. It's just too easy to send a nice message saying "hey nice to meet you but I'm not feelings things". The one person I ghosted, was because I googled her after the first date and found citations for multiple, recent DUIS, and I didn't feel like having that conversation with her.

    Font - Whappingtime · 51 min. ago · edited 47 min. ago I tend to ghost women who I don't have a good connection with, they lied about their appearance, they turn out to have an abrasive personality and have a lot of emotional baggage. Just stuff like that really.
