## Reasons Men Are Asked Why They Quit Dating:
### 1. Societal Expectations:
– Society often puts pressure on men to be in relationships and settle down. This can lead to assumptions that something must be wrong if a man is choosing to stay single.
### 2. Fear of Commitment:
– Some people may assume that if a man is not actively dating, he is afraid of commitment or not ready for a serious relationship.
### 3. Previous Relationship Trauma:
– Men may have had negative experiences in past relationships that have left them feeling hesitant to jump back into the dating scene.
### 4. Focus on Personal Growth:
– Many men choose to take a break from dating in order to focus on themselves and their own personal development.
### 5. Lack of Interest:
– It’s possible that a man simply isn’t interested in dating at the moment, and that’s perfectly okay.

Because they don’t like the answer given and keep asking hoping for what they want to hear.
Its because the dating market is pretty shitty and a lot of men are opting out instead of playing the same old games. The people that have yet to opt out are curious for answers.
They don’t like the answer they’re given so they keep asking expecting or hoping for a different answer.
For me it’s women thinking they can be rude as a first impression.they literally believe that being disrespectful gets a man’s attention but it doesn’t. It stresses us out.
I think when you’re a man and you purposely avoiding doing something that is normal/common, it gives you license to feel cool and mysterious.
It’s like, ‘look at me, everyone cares so much about dating and sex and love, and I’m just over here painting miniature space soldiers and collecting pokemon’ and whether we’re aware of it or not, it’s kind of a cry for help/attention.
We want to be asked about it, because then we can put on our wayfarer sunglasses in a dimly lit room, spark up a cigarette, swirl a glass of whisky and talk about how we rejected society, and thought outside the box.
We’re hopeful that this will make women’s panties wet, and they’ll offer to hoover our weiners.
Probably because so many other men are teetering on the brink of emotional breakdown in dealing with dating, and they are wondering (as many of us did) if it’s worth the effort and hassle.
And the answer many of us have reached is, “No. The rewards are no longer worth the effort.”
Being occasionally lonely is not fun, but it is FAR less stressful and destructive than being in a relationship.
We aren’t. No one gives a fuck about us. It’s not a loss for women since there is a sea of guys desperate for companionship.
No one really cares about us in that regard. It actually is more hurtful being ignored than being pestered.
Because women refuse to acknowledge they hold men to a near impossible standard. And when they bring absolutely no value to the process, why bother breaking your back for their entertainment?
Because only the ain’t shit dudes are preoccupied with chasing women on social media and dating apps 24/7. If an above average guy they see in public isn’t salivating at them in some tight leggings either he’s taken, gay, or “opted out” of dating completely.
They want an answer that justifies it’s not their fault and they aren’t in the wrong.
Internet women are lonely and incapable of self-criticism, so if they aren’t getting asked out it must be the fault of men. So they ask us why it’s our fault.
Because the mods are trash.
Because our value is only realized in our absence
Because women don’t like the answer , so ask it again in hopes of getting a different one
Because women don’t believe men should exist if we’re not filling women’s needs.
Because people don’t know how to check whether it’s been asked here in the last 24hrs before posting
Because social media is garbage
Secretly I think people are afraid of this. Older generations, and women.
Because everyone thinks it must be a choice that no one is interested.
Prob because there are a fair amount of great girls who wanna date but cant find good dudes and they think it’s because a lot of us have opted out of dating
At least that’s what my gal pals complain to me about all the time
Because it’s anooying and mentally draining.
I used to mind, but then I decided it was a creative opportunity, so now I look forward to those questions. My favorite answer is “Depends on who you talk to…”
They want to confirm their fantasy of there being some huge network of successful and attractive men who share their views and thus decide to stay single and reject the DOZENS of women who are head over heels for them.
Sounds stupid to me.
Misery loves company
Because women don’t like the answers they get. They think if they keep asking the question over and over again, eventually they’ll get an answer they like or that makes them feel good.
The juice isn’t worth the squeeze
People can’t wrap their heads around being single and content.
The OP wants his/her validation.
In real life I can count on one hand the number of times in 27 years that I have been asked that question.
I suspect that 99.99999% of people don’t care and that’s fair.
I just tell them my dick is too big, and they stop asking
They’re beginning to notice. Noticing is the first step.
