When I was still with my last partner, we were open: she was dating as was I.

She DID do the, "hey, you're nice but I'm just not feeling it" to a couple people she met and they were absolutely shitty about it. If it wasn't a comment about her being a "stuck up bitch" it was something else. A couple harassed her via text for days afterwords before she blocked them. This was probably half the people she met.

Nowadays if I meet a woman I totally get if they don't want to connect outside of an app before meeting and I don't think they're (necessarily) assholes if I get ghosted. People's behavior has made this sort of thing necessary so I try not to take it personally.

So yeah, all you saying this doesn't happen... hate to be this guy, but it totally happens. Listen to women every once in a while

Yep. I'm a guy and I've seen the absolutely shitty and vile responses female friends have gotten on dating apps for polite rejections. I used to get annoyed when I would send someone an introduction message and get nothing back but now I 100% understand why. Because even a polite rejection could lead to a terrible interaction and this stranger doesn't owe me shit.
