Why do men always flip out when you tell them that a woman isn't interested?
Had this happen last night. Some dude was "concerned" about a female "friend" who started ghosting everybody since dating this one guy, and that no one has heard from her since, so I had to inform him to take the hint that she isn't interested, and this was her signaling that she doesn't want a relationship with him, and the results were pretty much how you expected.
Except I was accused (not just by him, but some others as well--including women) of not understanding male-female friendships, not knowing what I was talking about, and not taking his "friend's" situation seriously, or that I was pulling details "out of [my] ass". And when I tried to reiterate that I do know what I'm talking about, since I'm the same gender as her, and that I know a man who can't handle rejection well when I see one, I was then asked to "prove" it by providing his "friend's" name, which I obviously couldn't do, but I don't think that matters, as he needs to learn when somebody isn't interested and to be left alone.
This then somehow led to a diatribe about me "not understanding" male-female friendships (again), and how this "wouldn't happen" if he was talking about one of his guy friends instead. I was then accused of being an "incel" because of this, even though I'm not the right gender for one, and being mansplained all this shit, and how I don't "understand" when somebody might be "in a serious situation".
It was such a demoralizing experience. Even my brother, who normally defends me in these situations, didn't this time, and said I was in the wrong.
