We all say that if someone doesn't want to meet us for example, then it's their loss.
But surely it's only their loss if they actually wanted to meet us in the first place?
As you can't be loosing out on something that you didn't even want in the first place. |

It’s just sycophants trying to get into your knickers who say that.
As you say, it’s clearly no loss to the third party if they couldn’t be arsed to follow through, they probably couldn’t give a shit! |

An accurate assessment. Although the phrase “it’s someone’s loss” is mostly understood to be used in definition “to say that one thinks another person could be helped by or would enjoy something which that person has chosen not to do or have”, so it’s not entirely inaccurate to use actually. |

It’s all about Opportunity Cost though innit? They may well have enjoyed it, but if they’re doing something BETTER then it’s a marginal gain, not a loss.
eg if I turn down a Fab date in favour of a scorching night with Scarlett Johanssen instead then I won’t necessarily see it as a loss ..  |

I understand your point, but the assessment of loss is held by the person saying it, in this case
- so it doesn’t matter at all what the misser-outer’s opinion and rating of the situation or alternative is.  |

As one door closes another opens . In my opinion there is no loss from either perspective. You can’t miss what you’ve never had |

To be honest I have never said this, if a guy doesn't want to meet me it's his perogative, as it is mine if I don't want to meet them... |

I beg to differ. If they follow through they clearly are in a position to give a shit. |

'We' don't all say it of ourselves, I never have - but it's a legitimate thing to say to offer someone else comfort if eg they have been stood up or ghosted, then it's simply saying 'They don't know what they are missing! ' |

I never get that saying either. The only one potentially losing out, is the one who wanted to meet. If the other person wasn't interested, clearly they don't feel they are losing out on anything |

Gotta love the English language. It's all about perspective, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong, it is an exercise in futility to suggest to someone who has decided NOT to meet you, that it is their loss. The decision has been made, move on to your next victi...er candidate.
I would argue however, that going on text messages and first impressions (that can be misleading), having been inundated with messages and doing a quick sift, we may possibly miss out on meeting someone we're quite compatible with.
In the end, what does it matter? We'll never know. |

I was going to make a comment of intrinsic value regarding "Missee" and "Missers".
However I've lost my train of thought along the way so please assume my comment was original, well thought out and sprinkled with comedy gold.
Many thanks. |
