"Your Loss"

July 21 2009

"Your Loss" What is it about that statement that irritates the hell out of me? Especially in the context of dating/hook ups (casual or otherwise) and rejection. What kind of satisfaction do people get when they say that other than the possible sadistic pleasure of irritation. When they say it's my loss, I don't feel like I've lost something, how does one feel at loss when it's not something one desired in the first place? I feel even more justified and firm in my belief that I was right in refusing their advances in the first place. Is it an ego thing? Surely people are realistic enough to realise they can't always attract anyone and everyone? They do realise people have preferences and they just might not necessarily fit that preference regardless of how trivial they think the issue of contention might be to them.

    I think it's a bit spiteful to say it and it's self serving statement .... completely unnecessary I agree.... But whether there is any truth in it or not.... Well obviously you'll never know! That's the annoying thing about it if you're being honest. :)

    They feel a bit better about themselves and save face I guess? One shouldn't fan the flames but I'd be tempted reply back: "Can't lose what I don't have (the desire to meet you that is...)" :P

    Yeah, well my comeback to the "it's your loss" statement is invariably "you say your attractive, suppose that mirror is broken" - I agree, no great loss if I wasn't interested to start with - especially if I've said NO to start with and they keep flirting/messaging back - gotta love the block option ;)

    Those that say "your loss" means that they dont fully understand what the other is really seeking, and dont fully understand the importance of "conncection" in order to boost sex sensation. Usually means that the person to said it.. are a clueless frustrated idiot that cant get what he wants. :) As for "You dont know what you are missing" wtf? if one said that.. how the fuck one knows the other is missing out? are the person who said it is a sex god or soemthing? HA i larf at that lmao.. must be a virgin or something :P

    The statement " you dont know what you're missing " reflects the bruised ego of the author, and as most of us have to suffer dissapointment at any given time, I suppose we should ignore it and let it ride. It's also a statement of the bleeding obvious too. Of course one could be missing out on something really fucking awesome, something really fucking nightmarish or more likely somewhere in between...lol If you are'nt interested then u just are'nt interested! Anyway we can't please everyone all the time can we...:-)

    lmfao bisex4u... you're spot on... more likely it's of the "your loss - you don't know what you're missing ~ something really fucking nightmarish" variety. In retrospect, it's always been a great idea to follow my instincts... I mean, if you do not sense any connection with a person, then there isn't one! warm hugs Gazza

    yes a piss weak response from someone without a back bone guess it helps them save face my loss...yes i didn't win lotto this week so that was my loss...but life goes on Who would have thought fun was about meeting, feeling some attraction and the pleasure is all give and receive maybe the "your Loss" guys only know self pleasure and the initial message like "nice tits wanna fuck" don't do it for me either

    I think "Your Loss" really means, "I am so damned good you are really going to miss out here baby!" Just seems to me like someone who would say that is not someone who you would want to spend time with anyway!

    Casava, I think its a case of not being able to handle rejection. I just send a message back saying "Thanks for replying'. I actually hate it if u dont get a reply, most do but some dont.Ur not sure if they got the message or not....

    your loss isnt a term that is for ppl who have a ego trip but it is just as annoying as a search for ppl that fit a profile of whom you seek then you find out that they are not whom you seek. so weigh up the scales to see if Your loss = Looking for the if you are still unsure then update your profile for whom you seek.

    Yes it's true you won't know what your missing, but you've probably got a fair idea about that and that's why you righty said no thanks. When someone throws a line like, or for those you don't what to type as much with 'Your Loss' , I think it just comfirms that they are not the right person for you!

    your loss usually comes from the stalker types...its clearly their loss as now they cant get your address and phone number.....i followed up on the your loss comment because i felt bad (once when i was young and naive) and then realised that that person doesnt handle rejection at all......run, delete and block!!!

    Casava, if your honesty creates such a piss weak response, I reckon good on you and too bad so sad to them. I would rather have some one like you that is honest enough to say sorry not interested, than keep plodding along and getting no where. As for what do they get out of giving a weak nonsensical response............hmmmmmmm..... maybe a false sense of victory? Ian XX
