Male friends 'flocking' when they see you're newly single..

why do they do this?Do they really think you'll be interested?:rotfl:
Within 2 days of discovering what ex had been up to the first male friend came out of the woodwork and after 3 days was wanting a date:eek: Then came others,many I hadn't talked to for yonks or barely at all,all offering their services or saying how they can show what a decent man is (I don't think trying to get your leg over with someone who has just been put off relationships for life is a decent man!!)
Seriously,do these guys really think they ever stand a chance by doing this?
Ok,so it made me feel good but some went on so much it was like having a little clan of stalkers:rotfl: Do men really manage to pull women this way???
Am I missing something?:rotfl:
Could they at least learn to spell before they try?
What do you lot do when you have these numpty friends instantly trying their chances?Apart from asking them if they live in the real world:D

They do do that. There are broadly two types - the total chancers and the ones that don't even know they're doing it. The second lot just subconsciously keep a collection of "possible" females that they don't actively chase, they just offer manly type help. They're the type to keep, as they tend to be basically decentish blokes.0

Two thoughts. First...if that is your photo, you are very pretty (female and straight, not hitting on you' promise). Second...perhaps one or more of them has worshiped you from afar for months/years. Potential baby/bathwater situation!0

Aww thank you:o I don't think I am but thank you
I know a couple of them have but the others,well I think they're just chancers..that and my chest attracts a lot of attention and I think a few see me as walking boobs:rotfl: As for the others god knows,but it's fun (except when you get a text at 3 in the morning from a guy you remember as the snotty nosed one at school,saying he can't sleep and for some reason can't stop thinking about you:rotfl:)
At least it makes us feel good eh!!!

A) Be appreciative that you get the attention.
Maybe its ugly attracting ugly?
C) Guys are impatient. You should know this.
D) Maybe youre a catch?
E) Maybe you have mistaken most of their interest or attention.
F) Men dont get that reaction because women are snobbish moos.
Z) ITS YOUR FAULTS ANYWAYS!!!
You take us to RomComs amd what do we see? We see the girl with a useless guy, yet she doesnt see this. We see the good guy take the chance and get burned. Then we see the girl realise her mistake and then she goes after the guy she burned. We sl osee rebound sex and girls who just want to have fun.
So blame yourselves for our behaviour.
"Oh im so hot guys are throwing themselves at me im so popular ooh i get texts at 3 in the morning and im hott my chest is bigg and i have a cute behind and i have to like, post about this like on a forum like to let everyone know like how hot i is like og my gawd!!"0 -

Deffo no signals given lol hadn't even talked to them for ages tbh
Men are men though lol and we all know how daft they can be!
Either way,it gave me a perk even if it is unwanted.
Think tonight thinking about that and other things has made me realise that no matter how much I loved the ex he'd been draining me,despite the good times.It hurts to think that but it's a big positive If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0
