text: why is it i only get fake phone numbers from american women? i lived in europe for several years, naples italy. and i currently live in thailand. i have never got a fake phone # outside of the states. don't give me any crap about girls wanting to go to america, my thai girlfriend makes more money than i do. why do american women give fake #s? are they too weak and fragile to simply say they are not interested? do they do it just to be nasty? do they think it's funny? it probably has to do with your approach toward women.  american women are smart, and can tell when you are being insincere or if you are just "wanting" something from them.  be too foreward, and you'll get a fake number every time.
