But then there is my reality where I have to realize that men on the internet are often not reasonable or sane.

I didn't start off ghosting. But after a few "but why not!?" (then proceed to try to explain to me why I'm wrong about not being interested) and "OK I'll do better" (then act like now they are gonna be a completely different person than they were five minutes ago) and whatever hurt feeling insults thrown at me.... I stopped caring about being polite. It's been much easier to just stop replying. The most shit I get now is "well damn.. It was nice talking to you"

I understand, this is one of those things I struggled with in dating online because I was worried about being "mean". But once you say "I'm not interested" and fully commit to not making it your job to be someone's therapist then ghost away! That was my rule anyway, I think it's just human decency to not drop a conversation out of the blue.

Hey Chemda, you're right! After two minutes we DO all repeat ourselves lol. I think about this all the time.
