This Groundbreaking Survey Finally Has The Answer: What Is Ghosting & Why Do Girls Do It?
Here is my confession:
I am a repeat offender of ghosting.
If you’re not already familiar with the term, ghosting is when one person stops contacting, replying, or continuing communication with the other party.
And with the rise of online dating, ghosting has never been as big of an issue as it is right now.
So if you’ve ever been ghosted in the past, you’re definitely not alone.
It’s unfortunate how common this practice is… and while I have been guilty of ghosting, I have also been the victim. And I can tell you that it certainly does not feel good.
Either way, it leaves you with wasted time and wishing you knew why this happened.
And finally, one study has the surprising answer.
The Real Reason Girls Ghost, Haunt, & Flake Out On Guys…
A new term you may or may not be aware of is “haunting.”
Haunting usually happens after ghosting, and it is sort of a sneak attack way for a woman to remain in your mind.
It’s when a woman continues to follow you on social media, and occasionally “like” your photos…
…despite the fact that you don’t hang out with her or talk to her anymore.
That’s it–no more and no less. Just enough contact for you to be reminded of her existence.
But why do women do this?
One recent survey of 36 people revealed the truth about why they’ve “ghosted” a person in the past.
While 25% of them said that they ghosted because the relationship “was never serious enough to need a formal ending”…
Another 25% admitted that they “just didn’t like them and wanted to move on.”
And in fact, another 20% said that they didn’t expect to lose interest and didn’t really know how to articulate their feelings to the other person.
Some participants even vocalized that they really just wanted to avoid the confrontation.
So, it’s clear that women don’t just ghost guys because they’re not interested. It’s often much more complicated than that.
Do Girls “Ghost” Because They Simply Forget About Your Plans?
Although these women were given the option, the truth is, not a single participant said that they ghosted or flaked because they forgot to respond or were too busy to date.
However, when it comes to the phenomenon of “haunting,” the results were a little less varied.
Just over half of the participants said that they continued to follow a person they ghosted because they’re just curious to see what they’ve been up to.
IS IT TRUE? Do These 5 “Copy & Paste” Texts Get Her to Chase You For Sex?
About 20% said that they just mindlessly flip through stories on their feed, not really paying attention to who pops up… and 17% said that they purposefully avoid their ex’s videos altogether.
In the same vein as ghosting, not one participant said that it was an accident. They still wanted the other person to think of them, even if they’re the one who broke it off in the first place.
The last thing the survey touched on was how the women felt when an ex “haunted” them… and I think you’ll find the responses are pretty relatable.
How It Feels When SHE Gets “Ghosted”…
Like I mentioned earlier, men aren’t the only victims of haunting–women have definitely experienced it too.
But does it feel the same for her as it does for you?
Apparently, the answer is mostly “yes.”
A quarter of the women said that they found it harder to move on when an ex stayed on their social media feed…
While 36% said the behavior was annoying… and another 6% said that it’s not weird, but is definitely confusing.
Ultimately, this kind of behavior can be harmful, because it creates a false sense of hope that an ex still has feelings or will want to get back together.
And that makes getting over a girl who ghosted or haunted you a lot more difficult.
So what’s the solution?
Well, it’s hard to say. If you’ve already been ghosted or haunted, then there’s not a whole lot you can do to get that woman back into your life…
However, our community has recently discovered an interesting way to prevent a girl from ghosting or haunting you in the first place:
3 Quick Tricks That Make Her Desperate to Meet Up With You…
I have to confess… I’ve flaked out on guys before.
Meeting people from the internet can be scary…
… and some guys just don’t take the hint, and will berate and insult me for not wanting to meet up.
(Almost every girl online has experienced this)
So my hot girlfriends & I are pretty hesitant to meet up with guys from Tinder and online.
But you don’t need to worry…
… we still make exceptions, and we will meet a guy after only talking to him for a few hours.
But this is if and ONLY if he does 3 very specific things.
These 3 things are universal indicators of a confident and attractive man…
… and many women like myself would jump at the opportunity to go out with a man who does these three things:
