This is not mine, I saw it in my Facebook feed. What is it with men who have no patience whatsoever? We don't have our phones attached to us all the damn time.
I think a lot of people - not just men, although certainly men, as they're used to women dropping everything to attend to them from an early age - assume we can all just be available at all times. Telephones led to this but smartphones and texting more than anything. When I was younger I don't remember there being such a demand for every second of my time. And we still had phones, obviously. It's just that they were landlines, you had to be home, and if someone was using the (dial-up) internet, the line would be busy and that's that. If my friend didn't pick up her telephone when I called her house, I didn't get grumpy or anything. She was probably not home, or busy, or whatever. Now we know people can be reached at any second because of the devices in their pockets, and likewise we as people then act like others should just drop everything to meet our needs in what we think is a "timely" manner - an amount of time that gets shorter and shorter these days. As an introvert and a general phone-disliker, even as a kid, I despise this attitude. If I text someone I'll give them the whole day to get back to me, maybe more. Especially if I text them at an hour where they may be at work, or sleeping, etc. And never, ever would I answer my phone for a work-related thing afterhours. Do not let your employer get away with this sort of thing.
No social skills. Impatient. Would expect you to wait on him hand and foot. Needy.

Spelling and punctuation sucks too. Also what man expects a prospective date to drive to see him and has time to meet up during the day that’s presumably not just on weekends? An unemployed loser that’s who.
I think it would be hilarious to give them a fake location, like 2,000 miles away from you, just to drive him crazy on a wild goose chase. It's too bad though that smartphones give the freaking location of where you're calling from.

Bonus points if you said ahead of time that you're busy/going to do something.
And yet if a guy only texts you like once a day you're supposed to be fine with it 🙄 Double standards.
