Hello everybody,
I intend to rant and rave, so if you're not interested, stop reading right now.

Why do women use lame excuses and tell white lies to reject men? Do they feel that they have to insult our intelligence as well as reject us? I'll admit, if a girl calls me four letter words after I ask her out, I'm not too happy, but I can handle an honest, polite, "No thank you!" Why does she feel that she has to use excuses like "I don't have IM (despite the fact that it's completely free)", "I don't have email(despite the fact that college campuses require email for internet use)", or "I will think about it(then conveniently doesn't see me when I walk past her the next day)". Is she just too immature to realize that rejection always results in hurt feelings, but most men can handle it? Is she afraid I am going to go kung fu on her just because she did not want to join me for coffee? Honestly, just how hard is it to be polite and honest? What ever happened to sending a guy on his way without talking to him as though he had an IQ in the 20s and the common sense of an American in the Himalayas? Do they really think they can alleviate the pain of the rejection process by making us feel dumb?

Here's one example:
One day I'm asking a girl to go to a movie. She's really interested, flipping her hair and listening to every word I say at first, then she finds out I wanted her to see "Be Cool"(Yeah, I know, poor choice for a first date, but I deserve an A for effort). Now by this time, she had already said that her weekend was free, and I saw her raise her eyebrows when I mentioned the title, and and about to ask her to a ballet instead, when she pulls a lame excuse by saying " I might be going out of town this weekend..." Does she really expect me to believe that she had booked a flight to her home and called a shuttle and packed, in the time that it took me to say "Be Cool"? Why could she have not said, " Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in seeing that particular film."? In fact, I would have settled for her saying, " Be Cool? Ugh!". Needless to say, I have not talked to her again. Why bother with a woman who can't be upfront with her feelings? If I want to learn to read minds, I'll become a psychic! Come on, ladies, it's 2005...grow a backbone and learn some respect!
