I thought my assessment was perfectly reasonable. IME women only freeze a man out when they have someone or something else in their sights. Sometimes its an actual person, sometimes its an ideal or concept - they just want something "better" or are scared they will be missing out on something by "settling" for something/someone now.

And yes I've been on the receiving end a couple of times but I'm not bitter about it, its their loss as far as I'm concerned.
