This makes weak presumptions in the mind of people who are willing to be in a good relationship with a partner and who then eventually won't find someone for a long time in a fear of rejection. Mostly the ones who fall for it, go out in making a bad decision and question themselves about what they have done in finding someone as a partner. People turn out to be a stupid and complete idiots after being ghosted as the relevance of experience.
