A flake in my definition is any cancellation greater than two hours. Anything less than or greater than two hours is being stood up not a flake. I'm not saying it's good to be flaked on but if this ruins your day then you have too much to lose on a female.
Appreciate the definition. I've had less than 2 hours flakes and no shows in life, though not often. I think the rise in popularity of text messaging starting in the late 2000s reduced the stood up factor. The more common occurrence for me has been the same day cancellation with something like 3-9 hours notice.
Both the stand up and the flake will impact my day to some extent. It's difficult not to be bothered about it. The easiest thing I mentioned above is not sending a text message as a reply. While you can bothered about it on your own, it is good not to let the other person know.
If it is early stages and I haven't had sex with the woman and there's a flake/stand up, communication is ceased. If there's a cancellation with an attempt to re-schedule made on her part, I'll likely interact.
The most difficult thing I find in early stages are the "one date, no sex, no second date" dates. I haven't enjoyed occurrences when there was a first date with no sex and I wanted a second date. I made the offer for the second date and either received no response or got some phony azz text of "I had a good time but do not see this going anywhere" type text.
At what point does female flaking affect those that say it doesn't? Suppose you want a vagina to surround your djck instead of your hand by the time the 3rd or 4th or 9th female in a row flakes...
It's difficult not to take that personally. I'd say that would occur around the 3rd or 4th flake in a row happens. Rarely will a man get that many flakes in a row. It might go something like flake, flake, show (but no sex), flake, show (but no sex)
