Be comfortable, creature.

This is a list of reasons I or my lady friends have rejected men in my/our lives. Read on, “nice guys,” you just may learn something!

Why I rejected you:

• I am not physically attracted to you and unfortunately physical attraction matters a great deal when it comes to relationship chemistry.
• Aspects of your lifestyle / your habits bother me.
• I am interested in someone else more than I am in you. I cannot help that. You could not help being attracted to me, could you?
• Our political/religious/sexual values differ too much and I cannot get past that.
• I am not thinking long-term.
• I am thinking long-term, and your desired future and mine do not match up.
• Our interests are too different and we have no common ground.
• I don’t actually know you that well.
• You don’t actually know me that well.
• I find your personality charming but not enough to forge a romantic interest.
• The speed at which you went from meeting me to developing a romantic interest frightens me.
• I am going through personal issues in my life which make it difficult for me to focus on romantic relationships. You have to respect that.
• You can be rude at times.
• You can be a bad listener at times.
• You can be shallow at times.
• You are meek and I find that unattractive.
• You established yourself as a purely platonic friend early on in our friendship and therefore I am unable to see you as anything but that.

Reasons why I did not reject you:

• I am filled with internalized misogyny and gravitate towards “assholes.”
• You are “too nice.”
• I am purposely screwing with your head.
• I’m a bitch.

Okee dokee, hope that helped!

By the way, I am a proud dater of a nice man. Not a “nice guy.” A very nice, caring, compassionate and sexy man. But he’s not a “nice guy.” He doesn’t have a victim complex.
