It is plausible that some men assume there will be a friendly dynamic when they ask a woman out on a date. That is rather than the woman instantly embracing him for romance. What happens when the woman makes it clear that she is open to physical intimacy? Yet the man continues to avoid meeting her in person. There is a likelihood that he has already committed to someone else. Most single men do not waste opportunities. Most men are likelier to marry. Therefore, if a woman of good character only converses with this man via text. She has expressed her desire for a relationship. Yet, failing to appear for the date could indicate that he is either penniless or already married. Or he is uninterested.
People spread rumors that men feel intimidated by confident and self-sufficient women. I believe this results from the ongoing struggle for women’s rights and the concept of radical feminism. Many men support gender equality. They also often reject the idea of radical feminism. Most women, on the other hand, tend to equate feminism with their rights. This can disconnect the two genders, especially when she has masculine tendencies. When a woman proclaims her strength and independence, it can threaten a man’s desire to feel needed. It becomes a warning sign for him to flee when she doesn’t require his assistance. He may view her as someone who only wants to use him for sex or other favors.
As a result, most heterosexual men will not see an independent woman as a potential partner. Others will avoid marrying a woman with unresolved daddy issues. Although I received a B in Psychology 101 during college, I cannot claim to be an expert. So, I can only try to answer why SOME men lead women on when they are uninterested—ghosting occurs for many reasons. When we dive deep into it, we will come up with good answers. So, let’s do just that. It often results from fear, avoidance, emotional immaturity, or mismatched expectations. While it’s a hurtful and confusing experience for the person being ghosted, it usually reflects the ghost’s inability or unwillingness to handle the relationship responsibly.
Open communication and mutual respect are essential to preventing such situations. Unfortunately, ghosting has become a common phenomenon in modern dating. It all boils down to a double standard. Men are often drawn to physical attributes such as a beautiful face, a soft voice, luscious hair, ample bosom, and curvy hips. They want willing women. However, societal norms dictate that men cannot openly express these preferences when initiating contact. As a result, they must feign interest in other aspects of a woman that are mundane. That sets the stage for lies and deceit. He could be there for one reason while proclaiming another. On the other hand, many women are inherently hypergamous, meaning they are attracted to specific qualities such as height, race, physical fitness, intelligence, and wealth.
Yet, it is more likely for a man to encounter a physically appealing woman than for a woman to come across a man who meets all her standards. That means more men are attracted to women. Within our societal framework, men have more choices to fulfill their desires. We can quickly achieve that by deceiving others. Therefore, in response to the initial question, a woman may not be suitable for a long-term relationship or marriage. However, she could still be desirable for a casual fling. A man must cater to her expectations and be politically correct to succeed. Similarly, a woman might prioritize wealth and generosity when seeking a partner, even if she does not see that person as a potential spouse.
Ultimately, the issue is the likelihood of finding someone who meets our desires and standards. Many women encounter a common problem in the dating world. A good-looking man enters their life carrying unresolved baggage from his past. This could manifest in various ways, such as viewing all women as sluts due to a previous partner’s infidelity. Or he is overly cautious and suspicious after a bad experience in a foreign country. Today, governments have placed themselves inside men’s bedrooms. They have updated the meaning of romantic encounters to include problems like sex trafficking. Inviting a long-distance partner for a steaming weekend of wining, dining, and passionate sex could spell trouble.
That means the man could immediately ghost his new darling if her vocabulary includes the frequent use of words like harassment, catcalling, rape, etc. As a result, the man may act paranoid. It would benefit him to seek therapy before joining the dating world. Still, instead, he becomes a woman’s anxious and unchivalrous date, fearful of an unforeseen disaster. She may hope for a caring and attentive partner who plans romantic outings and picks her up, but he may refuse to open doors and expect her to pay half the bill. To avoid this, women should make a conscious effort to show compassion and understanding towards men so they do not carry their past traumas and inflict them on future relationships.
