I think you’re jumping to conclusions about men in their 30’s based on these specific instances.
Happened to me too. Went on 2 dates with this guy, who seemed nice but turned out we had completely diff life perspectives. Told him gently, and he wanted to become fb friends (which i politely declined), then he completely flipped out. Said he felt used (even tho we didnt even kiss) and i was an indecent human being.
Sometimes it looks like ghosting works better, because they seem to take the ambiguity better than a firm no
Even 40s I have noticed that as well that men no longer take rejection well
Angry and small insufferable egos is always a recipe for verbal and physical violence against women. The older I get, the more I’d rather be single

I wouldn't generalize either ! Not all men take rejection / lets say a girl saying No in the same way.
When i told one of the guy's i had an hour long conversation that, so i'm not interested - and he sent me a text saying "How can you know it from an hour call, looks like you dont know what you are looking for blah blah blah"
While this other guy where the same scene happened, when i told him i'm not interested after a long conversation totally respected it & neatly said "Thats okay, i understand , it was nice talking to you bye !"
So it is case to case imho !
I went on 1 date with “Bob” & 5 dates with “Tom”. Bob was lunch and a walk in the park. Dates with Tom were meetings at the park and going on walks (which I enjoy naturally) They were both in their mid 30s.
Are folks’ egos so fragile in our 30s that they revert to making snide remarks or insults when they’re rejected? Ive been disappointed when someone told me they weren’t interested, but I’ve certainly appreciated the transparency, told them as much, & wished them well.
Too much generalizations going on here....seems like you need to meet a different kind....like mwah
How old are you? Why did you go on for 5 dates with at least one of them? Location? Their careers?

Nah, I don’t think that’s the norm. You just ran into a pair of losers, TBH.
