Why do guys do the silent treatment???

Why can't the guy just get some cajones and just either a) if he's not interested after talking just say, "nice talking to you, bye." or b) if he decides later he's not interested send a quick email or phone call saying, "I think it would be better if we didn't talk anymore."???? I as well as most women I know just want the closure of being told one way or another. The silent treatment is cruel and frustrating and makes women crazy! Is that why? When the women get frustrated and call the guy, it gives them an excuse - "Oh, she's the crazy, co-dependent nut-job so I was SO right for shutting that down." kind of thing? So just a note to men, please just get the guts to tell the woman straightforward that you don't want to see her. It will give her the closure she needs, you the space YOU need (most women don't want to look like a needy person calling after you have told her to hit the road) and everyone is happy!

And he doesn't care enough, is too impolite, or too much of a moron to do it correctly. So, as it turns out, you wouldn't have wanted him anyway. Be happy he's gone.
