Ghosting is now more common than ever?

A few years ago, I find that women on the apps would at least give you a not interested text after a first or second date, but recently I’m finding that most women simply ghost, sometimes even after five or six dates they ghost instead of texting not interested. I read a lot on Reddit that women are afraid how men would react to rejection and that would justify ghosting as the default option. But honestly if the women are going out with well adjusted men to begin with, there’s very little risk the man is going to react in a hostile way after rejection. Meanwhile most men now have to go through being ghosted as the normal and default way of being rejected.
