    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.

      I feel like this is very dismissive and also ignores that lots of relationships do inevitably start with vague signals.

      “Yeah, well, women have it worse so your feelings are irrelevant and it’s okay if they ghost you.”

      As I said in my original comment, I get it. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a difficult situation for men.

      Being dismissive of men’s feelings and not letting them talk about how dating is difficult for them isn’t helping anyone.

        It’s also dismissive of the fact that a lot of women give vague signs as their signs of interest. It’s really just a damned if you do or don’t situation. Either you interpret the vague signals as disinterest and move on, or you read them as a potential go ahead and you’re a dick.
