Men, what’s usually the reason you stop responding or sending texts to a female?

As the title says what’s the reasons a man will stop responding or sending texts to a woman they (or did) like?

    Men don’t want to be virtual pen pals, that’s for your girl friends

    Assuming its a non-gf romantic interest:

    1. She’s annoying
    2. Found someone better

    I’m genuinely curious why you chose to say “men” and then said “female” instead of “woman” lol.

    Because I noticed red flags, she’s not interested, she showed me disrespect, introduced me to people who showed me disrespect, turned down sex too much.

    Because she either tried to throw me in the friendzone or I smashed.

    Women are seriously the WORST people to text with

    When I have no interest in communicating with her.

    Also, if women could stop coming to r/askmen to try to figure out the person that just went no contact with them, that would be cool.

    Poor and inconsistent communication is the No. 1 killer. Coming and going as you please is not acceptable, on either side of the equation.

    Why would I care?

    I lost interest. She seemed really butt-hurt when I told her I’m no longer interested in anything with her, it’s funny how some women think they can’t be rejected.

    In another case she basically was a walking drama, asked her to never contact me again.

    In some instances, it’s the softest way to tell them that I’m not interested.

    To see if she texts first. Ever.

    If she says she’s used Mife, it’s a deal breaker.

    One told me that she thought men couldn’t be raped and that was pretty much the end of that

    Because it ended with just “liked” and they don’t feel interesting anymore. The texting could feel very stagnant and boring. You want to do something else besides texting, but it just ends up feeling like this is all there is. I think its just the nature of people. They are not going to continue doing something they don’t like. Even if they liked it in the beginning, they could always lose that feeling when nothing changes. I dont think people are robots that can just text automatically. They need some sort of stimulation. The whole point of texting is to let that grow into something else if you are interested. If you are just stuck with no hint of progress then anyone’s motivation would be killed. Plans have to be made because interest from texting doesn’t last.

    I think 90% of the time it’s because she just answers but never shows initiative herself. Doesn’t tell me about what’s happening, doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t discuss stuff. If she’s just a passive participant, I get bored and turned off so insanely fast.

    Not worth it.

    Some woman are unrealistic. I get it woman are the prize but there’s been times where I know zero about her except that she is attractive. She assumed because she was hot I should do a lot of things which prob anyone else would have done but looks only go so far these days.

    Ok there are several points here:

    1. The good majority of men and women CANNOT just be friends. Someone always has sexual or romantic feelings. Even moreso when either person is averagely attractive. So, in your context, the men have realized they’re never going to get with you, so they stop the effort.

    2. If you mean permanently stop replying, it could be #1 above or they just learned that your personality sucks. Friend-ghosting you as I’ll call it.

    3. If you mean temporarily stop replying (for like a few days): you simply fail to understand that text messages are NOT for conversations. CALL people if you want to converse.

    It’s pretty much always just a loss of interest caused by any number of reasons. Sometimes conversations just peter out, sometimes people just get busy, sometimes she’s just not that interesting, sometimes they just met someone they like better, and sometimes men just get tired of carrying a conversation.

    I only stop sending texts to a woman I like when I sense that she doesn’t like me.

    When the woman disrespects me or blows hot and cold, I don’t just stop texting her. Instead I tell her some home truths then block her.

    having to carry the conversation which is basically like 70 percent of conversations these days

    Only talking to me on her terms to try to get attention from me without giving anything in return. My formula for that is to only reply that I will try to talk to them sometime later as I’m out on a date, then ignore what they say for a few days. It’s a pretty simple warning shot that they can’t attack you on that will get a girl to either stop talking to you or get them to jealously pine over you. When I take this stance it usually is to downgrade their importance, where I only care about physical encounter after I take this stance.

    If I outright ignore you it’s because you’re annoying me or pissed me off in some form.

    If it feels like I’m talking to a wall; couple word answers, not asking questions back, dry af.

    Just not worth the time and effort in many cases. Sometimes you just don’t click with a woman. Or sometimes your wife just doesn’t let you text other women.

    Excessive obsession.
