Guest Johnny Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 We chatted for quite sometime then agreed to send face photo. After sending, he do not respond anymore. After a day, he left our chat without saying anything whether if i'm his type or not. It seems he rejected me and i'm feeling bitter and mad at the same time. But should i really be?

Sky894 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Ofc not. Be glad that the signs are clear rt frm the start N move on...it's normal to hv preferences...tht's hw we get gays vs hetero anyway - we prefer guys while heteros prefer girls...haha...so why blame any1 in the first place? It's like othrs insisting tht u must accept girls, get married n hv kids, u know...zzz To avoid wasting time/effort, if tht is wht bothers u, just show face pic rt frm the start to filter out the ones who cant accept ur looks lor...thn focus ur time N effort on those who shld matter more...:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Not truly bitter or angry. Yes, I feel duped and disappointed. Often, if you accept the realities of LGBT social life, such feelings will vanish quickly. No further drama needed. rayzzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sad and pity coz didn't have the chance to get to know another better...so just let it go...move on and go to the next one...sometime in life we have to go thru this phase to find that soulmate out there....don't stay stagnant or keep reminiscing the past pointless...you gotta move ahead...love yourself more....you are in control...

Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I agree with MasterFitMalaySG4U (by the way, I love your nick and pic, lol). Why ghost when you can be direct about it. If I’m not your type, tell me so. I’m not so fragile that I will break apart. At least by telling me what you don’t like about me, I can maybe try and change that part of me. We are all works in progress, but if everyone ghosts me, how can I improve. To an extent, you are right T Gunner to want to meet in person, but I prefer at least chatting to see if we click before meeting in person, so as not to waste time and avoid any awkwardness in person.

rayzzz Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Personally and deep in my heart, I will get hurt if someone rejected or ghosted me in any social platforms. But it doesn't take much of my time to move on. And as I grow up I have learned to handle rejection better than when I was a naive young twink. In gay social life we have to learn to toughen up ourself if things don't work out. So it's perfectly fine to feel bitter or get mad, but don't let it consume you much. There's always someone out there who would love to build relationship with you. FunLoving 1 Quote love, no hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinkienips Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I used to feel sour or probably a little bit mad at first when I started using dating app. As of now, I take rejection openly and move on easily. I prefer a straightforward rejection instead of another party trying to be nice and after a while then they only tell you, sorry, you are not really my type. For me, that’s wasting time for both party. FunLoving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why want to be mad or bitter, in 99% you saved yourself trouble, frustration not meeting the guy. Do you seriously think his attitude is better in real? Sure his behaviour sucks, but isn't he a silly coward who doesn't have the guts to tell you, you're not his cup of tea? Better meet people who are honest and where your chances to enjoy the fun is much higher than wasting your time with the wrong bad attitude guys.

Steve5380 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 It makes sense to get bitter or mad if you FEEL rejected. Rejection is universal. There is no way to escape it. What we can do is to avoid the BAD FEELING of rejection. In this way, we not only save us the bitterness or madness, but we retain a clear mind to decide what to do after the rejection. While it is not necessary to thank the person who rejects us, if this does not make us FEEL anything, that's the end of the story. It is like asking someone for the time. After he gives us the time, what to do next? Simply thank him, because there are no FEELINGS. But there is something we can do after a rejection: get away of the person who rejected us.

Ppl who bothered abt their looks generally take good care of themselves, be it fitness, diet or clothing. They have a higher sense of confidence, not necc from their face but from an overall better appearance. So the devastation is correspondingly higher when someone rejects them, be it from app or in real person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notd Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) This reminds me of a recent encounter I had. Matched with someone on a dating app and he was incredibly in my face with his advances. Said he's looking for something serious at first but starts making sexual remarks 5 minutes later. I thought he was just being cheeky and I gave him my telegram because he wanted to "take things further." Needless to say I'm confident he needs a hole to bang before he can seriously consider anything serious. Guessing sex is his love language. Let's just say he didn't take the rejection too well and started verbally insulting me to make himself feel better. Then comes back the next day to ask if I was still interested in doing dinner and has been pestering since. I've since decided to ignore him because any form of response triggers further responses from him, even a block. It's cool to persist and pursue someone, the whole world can tell you to let go and move on, but if your heart is set on something, no amounts of persuading will take that away. Just don't cross the line. Personally, I do get a little sad if rejected, but such is life. At one point you'll realize a rejection doesn't reflect your self worth. In the loose words of Oscar Isaac's character from Scenes from a Marriage, the same traits that the person despises you for will be the same traits that others love in you.

Guest Reality Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 You know the most common excuse to reject or breakup with someone "It's not you, it's me. You deserve someone better." If spoken outright, it's sounds so hypocritical. So when I want to reject someone, I'll do what he hated most instead. If he's looking for a top, I'll tell him about me getting screwed in the saunas. If he's looking for a bottom, I'll behave like a lecherous buaya always touching his butts. If he's looking for sugar daddy, I'll act cheap If he thinks he's too good for me, I'll purposely tell him I love him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
