Why are some men so persistent?

If I tell you that I just see you as a platonic friend, & I’m not attracted to you, stop asking me to be intimate with you. Even FWB’s is a hard no. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Because there's always that chance that someone will cave in and say yes. That's the reason for being persistent on any terms, male or female, work or play. Persistence pays off, eventually.

@Dv8rs I think that is so true. That is a rather profound observation!
Dv8rs · 18-21, F
@atlantic59 Why thank you.

@Dv8rs even going way back to early years of mine, I remember observing guys who just wouldn't seem to take no, and they wore their prey down to the point of easily-captured exhaustion

@atlantic59 Damn, although anything worth pursuing sometimes takes persistence, or a diamond ring.

@Dv8rs wow! Now I have to go work in a diamond mine, and exert a whole lot of effort...just to get a moments pleasure. Being a guy is a tough row to hoe for some of us

@atlantic59 Yes, I agree, but girls like shiny things. As long as everyone gets what they want, no harm done. Well, until 9 months later, no I'm just kidding, maybe.

@Dv8rs I never got what I wanted, but maybe that's cause the only thing I had that was shiny was my bald head in the sun. I once went to the library to take out a book on how to pick up girls but was too afraid of the stern librarian to take it to the check out counter.

@atlantic59 They say to do what you fear, especially if you want it, don't let fear get in the way. The stern librarian has seen worse, and probably isn't fazed by anything being checked out.

@Dv8rs I'm afraid of fear though. It paralyzes me with anxiety. In rehab there was this this bug-eyed guy with yellow teeth who others laughed at and he came up with the acronym for Fear: Face Everything And Recover or, he added: Fuck Everything And Run. Unfortunately, I always choose the latter.

@atlantic59 Everyone is like that, only a few of those are exceptional actors. Here's a quote from Jackson Brown that may help. "Be brave, even if you aren't, pretend to be, no one can tell the difference."

@Dv8rs great quote. Love Jackson Browne
