Ladies, please gather around. Because it is time to discuss a phenomenon that has baffled scientists, relationship experts, and even the occasional astrologer: the Great Male Vanishing Act, also known as ghosting.

Now, I know what you are thinking. Ghosting, really? Has it come to this? Yes, it has. In a world where men can summon pizza at the click of a button and meticulously build entire fantasy football teams, they somehow can't manage to muster the courage to send a simple, "Hey, it's not you, it's me" text. Instead, they vanish into thin air, like a magician who forgot to come back from behind the curtain. Cue the spooky music.
