    I get where they’re coming from, but it’s still not great being a guy and only getting vague signals that you’re trying to piece together. Ghosting is also another issue that’s honestly just disrespectful.

    While it may ultimately be those man children who ruin it for everyone, some upfront honesty is generally very appreciated.

      While it might feel rough for you, it’s worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.

      If you’re only getting vague signals then maybe that’s the sign that she’s not fully into you.

        Yeah, for men the likely worst case scenario is embarrassment, women can get straight-up beaten or murdered

    Girl: Sorry, but I’m not interested.

    Guy: Stupid fat bitch slut!

    Who responds like that?

    Edit: Removed unnecessary statement.

    Unironically women should be able to say no instead of just ghosting nonstop, just say literally anything. Communication benefits both sides

      By ghosting do you mean one time they don’t respond and you move on with your life, or do you mean you reach out multiple times and they don’t respond?

        You can pretty quickly determine when you’ve been blocked, that’s how most people ghost.

      We live in a world which contains certain individuals who make millions of dollars by pretending to be perpetually victimized. A little skepticism is natural. I don’t expect you to fix that, I simply expect you to acknowledge that the problem of shitty men like the one in the comic is a problem of a similar scale and will not be solved overnight. And also that it will not be solved by demonizing men.

        No. Clearly it will be solved by men doubting women’s problems. Men are so fragile.
