Dear dreaming715:

In Feeling Resentful Toward Men, your last thread and in this thread you expressed your great frustration with men not following through with what they tell you. They reach out to you and then… silence.

In your previous thread, on 3/21 you asked a person who replied to you the following:

“Can you please share a little bit about your story with me? What brought you to the ‘men can’t feel love conclusion?’ What’s different about your soulmate? Did you know right away? I’d love to hear an inspiring and hopeful story.”

The next day, that person replied to you with her story. She told you her story humbly and thoughtfully and expressed nothing but kindness to you. That was on 3/22, two weeks ago.

But you didn’t reply to her. You started this new thread without replying to her on the old thread. You did not follow through with your request of her. Following through would have been thanking her for fulfilling what you requested of her. You asked her a question, and then: silence.

So you see, women also can not follow through. When we criticize another, best we look at ourselves as well: do we do what we disapprove in another?

This kind of self examination helps in better understanding of self and of others. What do you think?
