Because its boring, tedious and unnecessary filler?

Ill decide when I get my moneys worth and fulfilment out of a game. I dont need some arbitrary metric to strive for. Some games I dont even finish the main story and Im at peace with that.

Hey so does anyone know why exactly Kang is gonna be in this movie? Just feels random that hes gonna be the villain in the ant-man movie, and not the villain in some other heros movie

I briefly went into this in my post above yours.

Kang is a time travelling, multiverse mucking about kind of fella

Since the quantum realm was the key to to time travel in Endgame then it only makes sense that Kang and the Ant people would cross paths.

This is the MCU sequel I'm most excited for. The Ant-Man movies are so damn fun

Same. Who doesnt love Paul Rudd. Evangeline Lilly. Michael Douglas.

Also the true introduction to the next big villain in the MCU is going to be very interesting stakes for this movie.

Since quantum travel was the key to time travel in Endgame itll be very interesting to see where they take this.

Hawkeye is very promising so far, for being three episodes in.

I'm not going to assume it's going to stick the landing. There are people in this topic who have said "thing" would be amazing and found themselves eating crow later.

People who arent able to let themselves get excited for things because they take disappointment too hard. Sounds like some personal problem to me.

Don't they do that to free up server space, because otherwise everyone would just stay signed in all the time?

Yeah that makes complete sense but for BF2042 for example the reconnect to server fails every time and you have to hard restart the game. Nullifying the point of the quick resume feature entirely.

Serious question: Did you ever try contacting her by other means instead of text messages? Sure, ghosting may be more probable, and if true of course it's super shitty, but just in case something's just wrong with her phone... Do you have her number? Does she have your number? Do you have other means to contact her?

She has my number and we matched on hinge. If she wanted to get ahold of me she could.

Safe to say she chose not to. And we only went out on one date Im not gonna chase after her or worry something serious happened. Not to sound callous but if something did, she could just message or call. I just wont be holding my breath.

This is what I call a CE Classic.

The CE Classic begins with someone (like TC) making a post observing something.

Step 2 is for someone to question that someone (TC) into elaborating on their point.

Now this is where it gets crazy. Step 3 is multiple posters coming out of the woodworks to try and debate that someone (TC) on different parts of their elaboration.

Because each poster is approaching with a slightly different argument, that someone (TC) attempts to answer all the accusations and critique.

That someone (TC) honestly doesnt have that much emotional investment in their original post. They are simply defending their stance since the multiple posters will be very quick to attack the someones (TCs) character, intentions, or dating life. Despite having nothing to base it on.

Because that poor someone (TC) was simply not ignoring every critique (such irony), it appears that they have been not getting over it for the entire topic. Successfully being gaslit.

This, ladies and gents, is the CE Classic.

This post should be pinned to the front of CE for eternity.

Grade A stuff. Couldnt agree more. Happens all the time on Reddit too on subs like relationship advice and Am I the Asshole

There is such an unbelievable need people have to play judge, jury and executioner with other peoples lives, and gaslight them in the dozens, or thousands in the case of Reddit.

If you're getting ghosted after several months of dating, I get being annoyed with it. But one date? She doesn't owe you a single thing. She didn't enjoy your date, get over it.

If someone tells you they want to see you again. You take that opportunity to let them down. Thats it.

No, men are direct, or they're supposed to be.

Women are more circumspect. For several reasons too long to list here, but they're both learned and genetic.

If I see a cute guy, I don't walk up to him and tell him I like him. All I do is initiate eye contact and smile. After that, the onus is on him to initiate conversation. If he doesn't, I assume he wasn't interested or already is taken. But if a guy approaches me who didn't get the "go ahead" eye contact and smile, it's creepy. That's what a lot of inexperienced guys get wrong. They're told to "approach women," but they don't know when or how to do so.

Similarly, to avoid confrontation, either verbal or physical, I don't directly reject men. Instead, I give body language clues and other hints to let them down easy without bruising their fragile egos. I'm sorry that you're too inexperienced to understand basic dating language, but that's not her fault.

This post has to be trolling. Right? Like no one can seriously believe this and post this In this topic without a hint of irony or awareness?

Basic human decency for a TEXT MESSAGE? I understand if you are hungry and have no food, or are homeless and have no shelter etc...but a text? Dude is putting way too much stock on it. Like i said, she could be in acoma right now or her mom died or something, why is it folks do not get a response and immediately assume the person read their post and intentionally chose not to respond? The heck is wrong with people?

I mean, Whats more likely? Shes in a coma, her mom died or shes immature and cant send a simple text message?

Its pretty basic. But whatever the case is, its over and done with now.

No. That would be trying too hard. However, keeping up general contact is expected.
No, you need to understand that women are not men and communicate differently. Men who are successful with women are able to pick up on our cues. Men who are not will sit and cry about being ghosted when we likely gave them a dozen hints that we weren't that interested and were only being polite to avoid conflict.

You would rather us be wrong, you be right, and lose the game. Your choice.

Its nothing to do with what Id rather. I believe in basic human decency and I dont have the time or patience for games. Youre absolutely wrong in my eyes.

All this is, is a discussion about ghosting. Not an invitation for you to over analyze interactions with strangers. You clearly dont understand that.

Theres nothing to be gained or won, and someone who ghosts me is never worth my time. But I dont need yall to tell me that.

Just remember we explained how it works, why it happened, what the clues were, and where it all went wrong. I am married but apparently have no idea what I am talking about whereas you are single and posting in a video game message board about how you were ghosted.

Well that answers that. Married people often give the absolute worst dating advice youll ever hear.

Rather than waiting a week for a response you should have already had a date set up and if she refused to set one up or didn't respond you should be ready to follow up on other prospects. This is literally the opposite of being desperate! Lol You have been acting desperate and entitled the entire thread!

I absolutely do not need to listen to your shit advice. Ill give as much time and effort into people and interactions as I feel they needbecause I understand the context of my interactions. I dont need to prove value to you in my interactions, I do that with the people Im interested in. If they dont reciprocate, thats life.

Again, maybe YOU had pleasant interactions with HER, but it obviously wasn't pleasant on her end, or else she wouldn't have ghosted you.

This is where I roll my eyes at any relationship discussions on the internet.

I really dont get the need to try so hard to make so many assumptions in order to take the side of someone who isnt present. Think what you will, but I was there for all the interactions. I know exactly how pleasant they were. I also made my intentions clear I wanted to see her again. If she had as obviously of a terrible time as you feel compelled to assume, she wouldnt humour the possibility of a second date.

it kinda makes me chuckle. This whole topic is about straightforward communication and how easy it is when no one hides their feelings or intentions. And yet you sooooooo desperately want to overanalyze what isnt said or interactions between two people you dont know from a hole in the ground.

This such a foreign concept that you cant literally imagine how the words you chose to tell someone are more important than hints and assumptions.

If a woman blocks you, there is pretty much zero chance of any further interaction unless you're a stalker in which case, yeah, she was right to drop your ass.

The fuck did blocking come into this conversation? Ghosting and blocking are two wildly different responses. If you do both to someone youve had pleasant interactions with, youre an unhinged weirdo.

From the original post, it seems like they had a short 30-60 minute coffee date, tentatively agreed to a second one in a week and then he just waited to hear back from her about her schedule, with no effort to keep her engaged or getting to know her in the mean time.

I know the onus shouldn't always be on one party to maintain the conversation, but it basically sounds like a mutual ghosting. He stopped speaking to her as much as she did him and he's just being a whiny baby about it.

I did a week of night shifts, which I told her about and why this week was communicated in trying to set up a second date.

No need to analyze this that hard my guy. This one time ghosting isnt the focus of this topic.

But youre right. The onus isnt on one person to maintain conversation and interest.

It has nothing to do with being smug but instead everything to do with hoping the person moves on to the myriad of other girls they are messaging

I hope they move on

Potentially they dont talk to multiple people at a time and like to focus on one person.

Whatever the case. If you cant understand why hoping, assuming and conjecturing fantastical hypothetical scenarios where they dont take rejection well. Thats all living in a fantasy land instead of coming back down to reality and communicating plainly.

Let me see if I have this right.

I think theres an insane amount of irony in someone preaching about taking hints and in literally the same breath trying to analyze, on some Pepe Sylvia shit, a internet strangers second hand account of a date. I imagine you take hints well when youre overthinking an interaction to this degree from two people who mean absolutely nothing to you.

Especially considering you missed the biggest hint of all.

If someone texts you they had a good time, and you text lets do it again and they say Id like that

Thats the opportunity literally anyone with a head on their shoulders takes to say theyre not interested and end it right there. If your intention is to give our hints the date was terrible and I have no desire to see you againtake a minute to work on yourself and your communication issues.

cheers.

ghost is immature, yeah... but i ain't gonna sit here and pretend most dudes take rejection well and could handle an honest "not interested" from a girl

some dudes melt down and get really obsessive real fast, and it's those dudes that train chicks to just ghost if they're not feeling it, it's the safest thing they can do, ghost and block on everything

If someone cant handle rejection well thats a whole other conversation.

If someone was being a total idiot / creep / weirdo / douche and you felt further conversations would be a bad idea. Okay. But thats not what this topic is about.

Normal people respect other peoples time and feelings. On CE that is a foreign concept I know.

Being ghosted is worse than getting outright rejected imo.

I agree.

cuttin_in_farm posted...

Its unhealthy to think being disrespected is okay. I hope youre able to see someone for your issues.

Because setting a clear expectation, and then ghosting is disrespectful. TC could have made different plans or pursued something else if he didnt think the lady he saw had no interest. But its blatant disrespect of peoples time and emotions to not tell someone.

Again, in TCs scenario, she said she was wanting to meet again.

This isnt a date was lame and no chemistry. The guy seemed kinda clingy and dangerous scenario it seems.

This is a perfect summation of it.

This aint the first time Ive been ghosted. And while its never a great feeling. This time in particular when a person literally communicates intention to see me again and then doesnt respect me enough to even reply to a message. Pretty low move for a doctor.

And for women there are countless horror stories of hopeless dudes trying to conjure something out of a dead connection that its actually a bit of a bad look to buck back at the trend too much.

I completely fail to see how texting someone your intentions and feelings upfront is worse than straight up ghostingwhen you have a hopeless dude looking for a connection that isnt therewhy dont you fucking tell him?

Nothing too interesting but for the sake of conversations, here goes.

Met up with a gal. Had a lovely coffee date. Great conversations the whole time, similar interests, flirty, etc. She apologized for only having time for coffee that day and she would let me know next time she was free.

We text after she says she had a great time. I say, lets do it again. She says I would like that tells me shell let me know what her schedule is next week. Its next week, I dont hear nothing, I message her asking her how shes doing. No reply.

If you arent interestedjust say that? Shes literally a doctor (dentist, dont be an anti-dentite). How are you gonna be that immature to show intention and interest and then not be grown up and upfront if that wasnt sincere or things change.

They are all the same questions that get asked anytime a cop murders an unarmed person. He's only applying the same guidelines bootlickers apply to the victims of cops to the cops themselves. And yes, you are right, none of those are justifications for the officers to lose their lives. Just like they aren't justifications for the deaths of the people that cops murder.

In things that shouldnt have to be explained

Cops kill people in the line of duty. Thats part of their job.

To assume there was a justification that a cop was shot and killed in the line of duty is fucked.

Did the cops have a history of complaints being filed against them? Were they ever on academic probation? Did any of them beat their loved ones? This is all important information to know with regards to this particular case.

In absolutely no way is any of this justification for officers to lose their lives. Seek help.

I like how theres more outrage against cops then there is against corporations or lawmakers that have exponentially made life more difficult for the working and middle class than the police as an organization ever did, if anything the police are just pawns the former two use to enforce their agenda that has made society what it is to begin with. But I guess both corporations and lawmakers can rest easy the public is more interested in directing their outrage to their fellow working class brethren.
