Good on he guy. Not only did he do the respectable thing and accept the no, he also successfully avoid this crazy person
Lonestar8808
People in certain non-Western cultures are taught to say "No", not once, but TWICE, before saying "Yes", as not to appear to eager.
FinrodFelagundPrinceoftheNoldor
Fine, but that's a different culture.

As an actively dating woman I can say that’s insane.
Zitronensalat
You got it. Wanna date?
BewilderedBeaver
The majority of girls prefer if the "game" is done after the first no. That's what the whole no means no thing is about.
miahtSuperVillain
And those women say that honesty and communication are very important!
CyborgScribe
This one woman. Not "those women." Don't overgeneralize
BuyPensFromPenIsland
In this context "communication" means "reading my mind."

"Why didn't he ask me again what was wrong after I told him I was fine"

Does this mean no pizza?
chocoholic99
Are you asking for pizza?
ButchLobster
Um, because NO means NO
GigerAlienVaginer
stupid bitches like this are why dumb guys get confused on the concept of "consent" and start believing retarded shit like "no means yes"
bigdaddyfatpants
No always means yes its common knowledge.

Ask Bond 007. Lol

As a woman, that woman is a nincompoop and the majority of us will say what we mean. Don't judge us by the lunatic fringe.

Amen!

Are you sure @artsychick really meant it, though? What if it is just a ruse?!?

Any person that expects people to read their mind is an idiot. Full stop. Good lord...

These days not going along with the word "no" can get a man in deep trouble. But, I'm old. You say no? OK, I have yardwork to do, see ya.
VizenFatale
See I was a loser growing up and never had a boyfriend...when I found a guy I was interested in later on I made my intentions very clear....

I wasn't about to miss out on a hot stud like that. 9 years later, married with two kids, both his. Life is awesome!

There's a LOT of other girls out there so we don't have to play games anymore. Girls are gonna learn about competition soon enough.
thesixfingerman
I was taught that no means no
realrealluckless
Shit like this is why some humans can't deal with hearing "No", and think they just need to try more...
LizardsInTheSky
Just always assume they mean "no." When you get a "yes" you'll get a girl who speaks her mind effectively and doesn't just assume you "take
LizardsInTheSky
a hint." Keep pressing the "no" girl, you're either harassing or getting a girl who won't speak her mind and you'll keep guessing forever.
sidarrian18
k side question, whats it mean when she says maybe to my questions?
LizardsInTheSky
Like what?
sidarrian18
basically never getting a straight answer.

Tbh this reads like someone with an anti-feminist agenda made it up.

The problem is some people on here see one really crazy person and go "See? This is why all women suck."
CyborgScribe
See: that other guy I replied to going off about "those women"
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
Not only that, but that shit perpetuates the idea that men should be pushy, and we know where that leads. Infuriating.

A picture of one stupid question being rightly and roundly chided... Comment section, don't turn it into an "all women" thing please.

So true and Will do! Its hard to remember with the vast amounts of “all men” articles. We are degrading as a society.. :(
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Too late.

Ah well, maybe next time? Angry anonymous folk will always find these posts.
kingkongswingwong
Way too late. Imgur strikes again.

I live in hope. Lots of anecdotal evidence that really shouldn't rile people up floating about though isn't there?
Nysjar
Lucky for him she said No but meant yes...the other way round gives your social life a headshot without you ever being convicted.

Ok, chauvanist circlejerk, this is some dumb high school girl, don't get all worked up about feminism.
kingkongswingwong
Way too late. People are throwing out #metoo and trivialising rape accusations all over the place.

Teens are masters of undermining the very things intended to keep them even remotely safe. Teenbrain is a horrible affliction.

Has anyone actually had this happen to them??
HeyOP
Define "this." Someone playing hard to get? Yes. Someone with a rape fantasy saying no to sex when they meant yes? Yes.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Just assume it means no and move on. If they didn't mean no, tough shit for them. If all guys moved on, they'd learn pretty quick.
drfarren
That's not how the dating scene works though. If there was an even playing field, then sure, but it isn't. AT ALL. There's a good book (1/x)
DukeDarkwood
If the dating scene runs on psychically knowing whether someone means what they said or not, then to heck with it. What ever happened to "be
DukeDarkwood
yourself", "tell them how you feel", and "open and honest relationship"? Men, women, doesn't matter, let them play their games, but I won't,
DukeDarkwood
and I wouldn't want to date someone who did. I'm plainspoken, often to the point of blunt, and I'd appreciate it if someone respected me

by Norah Vincent called "Self Made Man" she dresses up as a dude for like a year and lives the other side and writes a very cutting (2/x)

story based on her experiences. The dating dynamic is REALLY messed up and she exposes it. (3/3)
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Regardless, might as well move on. If a woman is that messed up, then why get tangled with them at all? If some other guy wants to deal /1

Yes. This is not abnormal.

Imgur'll just leap on any anti-woman or anti-feminism internet story. Some of the comments on this are driving me nuts.
Loser37
This is pretty obviously an anti-feminist troll, so naturally Imgur will lap it up as validation that sexual harassment is a made-up
juliemtw
a huge ass reactionary, in this case specifically anti-feminist cesspit. The fuck happened

conspiracy designed to ruin the lives of men
Yahellno
News flash women! The vast majority of guys don't like to be dragged through the mud. Why some girls do this will never make sense to me.
Conflict
Its because they want to feel important and they think that being chased will help them in that endeavor. It doesn't but they think it does.
Yahellno
The most irrational thought process ever. Lol
Conflict
No one said it made sense. They will get it eventually. Just takes time.
ShoeBoughtDaRobot
Why'd you get downvoted?
kingkongswingwong
Have you ever heard of this happening in real life? Or have you just read stories on the internet and assumed it happens? It doesn't happen.
joeyjojosharknado
It happens and it's way more common than you realise.
Yahellno
Actually yes I've experienced it first hand. Not going to get into the details but suffice to say I know for a fact it happens in real life.
Yahellno
So yes. It does happen.
TinyAngryDog
It shouldn't, but it does happen...I had a friend who mysteriously kept winding up with controlling, aggressive, psychologically abusive men
TinyAngryDog
Turns out she'd only go on dates after they repeatedly pushed passed some initial rejection. Not healthy and not a reason for men to do
TinyAngryDog
Anything other than accept that no unconditionally means no and to move on. Anyone who thinks that way needs a serious amount of therapy.
Yahellno
And if you just scan over the other comments you can see plain as day that it happens often.
kingkongswingwong
You're the second guy to have said it's happened to you. Out of however many people have commented on this.
Yahellno
All these replies just to my post should give you a clue youllneverfindmeiwan.
Yahellno
You must be a very naive child. You are the only one here saying it never happens. Lol
Yahellno
Don't feel too dumb. You are just young and naive. You'll understand one day.
Yahellno
Happens all the time. Whether you believe it or not.
kingkongswingwong
You're stating your opinions again and throwing insults rather than looking at the number of actual people who have had this happen to them.
kingkongswingwong
Facts over opinions please.

I don’t speak for the rest of the guys but I don’t like playing games in matters like this. You tell me no, I’m gone. Plenty of others
helluvasparkplug
The OP in the photo was probably an 11 year old girl. I hope you know better than to get into a convo where her answer to you is "no".
BishlamekGurpgork
I'm gonna be honest, the whole quote is pretty flimsy and made up. It's like someone was setting a stereotype up for ridicule.
frogjg2003
I've got better things to do with my time chasing girls playing games when I can have a woman who knows how to get what she wants.
Leverbee
I can barely comprehend directness, no way am I going to be good at those kind of games.
everythingisalreadytaken69
Yep, then if you ask again or insist it turns into sexual harrasment.

Exactly. Its simple informed consent. You say no I listen to you
poweroverwhelming87

creamyonions
As a woman, I'm right there with you. If I say one thing, that's what I mean. There's no hidden meaning I'm trying to manipulate you with.
Ssssssssssss
At the very least, if you want to play games, you have to make sure the other person wants to play.

Especially in this day and age, you could catch a case for asking twice.

No means yes, and yes means anal. We all know this now
ClayBones548
The risk of not asking again is appearing to lack persistence, the risk of asking again is to look like a creep. Not really a hard choice

Agreed. I’m confident enough that I don’t care if she thinks I’m not persistent.

SmoothberryBluethie
I have said no before, not because I was uninterested, but because a friend was interested in him. After I was sure she moved on, I asked...
SmoothberryBluethie
him out. He said yes. Got annoyed that I beat him to it.
PorneliusHubertII
But the first no was a hard No but changed based on your circumstances yes?
SmoothberryBluethie
Yeah. I didn't want him to continue chasing after me when I did say no. I asked him out when I was interested because I didn't expect him...
SmoothberryBluethie
to magically know that situation had changed after my first no.
Kjasi
Agreed. If he HAD "tried harder" this would of turned into a "I was almost raped!" topic.
DrKriegersClone
I mean, this topic may very well have been faked by some loser dude fishing for internet validation of his belief that no means yes.

This is kinda of a little girl thing... Or immature anyhow. When they're grown many know you don't have a crystal ball, just act like you do
Flyndaran
All human interaction involves some degree of such "mind reading". It's irritating to us autistic that don't have that "obvious" ability.
Flyndaran
Sure, some words are direct and rigid, but tone and body language can negate nearly any literal interpretation.
breechbirth
Just stopping by to ask what “crystal ball” means in this context. I know what the object is, but not the metaphor
shmekie
A crystal ball is a fantasy trope of seeing into the future or the past, of knowing things you couldn't otherwise know.
shmekie
So in this context they're saying a mature woman knows you can't fucking read their mind and will just be honest with you
breechbirth
Agh thank you! Seems logical. Sorry, it’s 5am and I’m not a native speaker, difficult to link (somewhat) obvious things together sometimes.
