Why do women always say they have a boyfriend?

You just need to get a boat. They won't say no due to the implications.

your goodies are gross wrote:

Because there are men who won’t accept a simple “no” and expect an explanation as if they are owed sex from any female who can’t provide a good enough excuse.

You would be on to something if said woman was actually being hit on, but much of the time women say that when a guy merely approaches them. Dang, can I just TALK TO girls without them always assuming we're after their goodies??

I can’t say I’ve ever had this happen.

My new years resolution is to be less passive when asking girls out. My friends are telling me I'm not assertive enough and need to express my wishes stronger when talking to girls. I usually ask them for coffee but I will need to go further next year. If I'm lied to I will ask them why they are lying to me and I will ask for feedback on what they think I'm doing wrong that they don't want to be with me. I have never heard critical feedback from girls. They always just stop talking to me and I can't get replies from my texts and they don't answer my calls.

Oh hi Banana Bread!

If you want some honest feedback, listen to this.

You ask a woman out for coffee.

She says no.

Why would you ask them "why are you lying to me" or to provide you with feedback. Why does someone owe you a detailed explanation of why they don't want to go for coffee.

Let's imagine this. I'm a guy. I ask you, do you want yo go for a coffee. You're not interested. You say no. Then I come back up to you, and I ask you - look, you're lying to me. I know you don't really have a partner. You are lying. I want feedback on why you won't go for coffee with me. I want to know why, I want to know your reasons. Explain them to me. I want to know what I'm doing wrong. It can't possibly be that you just simply do not want to go for a coffee. Explain it to me. How would you feel then. Should you have to provide an explanation or explain. Should you have to stay talking with someone you dont want to and you feel uncomfortable around. Should you have to justify your decision. Or should a simple no thank you be OK. Think about it. OK!!

And see how politeness can be mistaken for something else. How that when people are approached, why they make excuses. Because sometimes if they say no I'm not interested people turn nasty. Or because if they are polite and friendly, it can be taken the wrong way. Read some of the stories on there. See what happens, how people are approached. This is why people say they have a boyfriend. It is safer.

The stories on there are harrowing.

if you read everydaysexism you will see how often these kind of things happen. it's everywhere and it can be daily. People are scared of situations turning aggressive or bad, so they say they have a boyfriend. Again, it is safer.

Saying they have a boyfriend is an indirect way of rejecting you. They may or may not have a boyfriend, but they don't want you coming on to them. Women are generally more indirect because they're more obsessed with feelings. They wouldn't want their own feelings hurt so they usually try not to hurt other peoples feelings. If a woman tells you a direct "no," you have probably crossed her boundaries and ticked her off. Men in contrast are more direct and typically have no problem saying "no."

Usually they wait until they are 12 years old.

No, they say it because a not insignificant portion of us men are unhinged animals that react poorly to rejection. Those same animals seem to have more respect for another male's "ownership" claim so they make an appeal towards that.

Are they going to incorrectly stereotype a lot of people? Yeah, definitely, and that sucks. However, I can't blame them. If I see an Asian girl behind me in a dark alleyway I'm going to react differently than a black man. It's unfair, but survival should always come first.

When women perceive a fella to be slightly out of a woman's league, a woman will use boyfriend line. If a man is far out of a woman's league in a woman's mind, she will be direct and honest and cut said type of man off at the knees. It is a slight compliment for a woman to use boyfriend line.

If a girl tells you she has a boyfriend

70% of the time she's lying.

Or she's saying it to get you off her back.

Or she's actually saying it.

Then you have to look at her behavior.

Your communication with her, if you're communicating freely.

It depends on how long you've known her.

All girls in general

love to lie.

1) Because they are not interested in you

2) Because they are incapable or unwilling to simply state that they are not interested in you so they hide behind "I have a boyfriend."

Shut up
