Man, that's what's so stupid about it all. You sit back and wonder why a woman doesn't hit you back or why she doesn't do this or that and you think it's an elaborate reason, but you will be shocked to see how superficial it all ends up being... like you might be on a dating site and a woman will hit you up just to get your attention and see if she can pull a compliment out of you and once she gets it, she stops replying. It's amazing the amount of women that love trying to extract compliments out of a man, and as soon as they get one, they get ghost.
You would think like wouldn't you actually want to BUILD something and have something REAL together instead of just getting a copmliment? Don't you think having something TANGIBLE would be better than words in the wind? But compliments and attention are like those power pellets to pac-man. These women will do all kinds of things to get that attention and as soon as she gets it from you, she's in the wind.
That's the thing about women. As soon as they get what they want from you and don't want anything else, they don't want anything to do with you and will be as cold as they want to be or will tell you any and everything to get you up off them.
