Mellencamp, 65, told Howard Stern on 'SiriusXM' radio show that he still has great affection for the 55-year-old star but she is not interested in a friendship even though more than two years have passed since the pair called it quits, reported Us weekly.
"Oh, women hate me. I loved Meg Ryan. She hates me to death," the singer said.
When asked to elaborate on why Ryan would "hate" being in a relationship with Mellencamp, Mellencamp said, "I think it's because I'm a child. I throw fits, I gripe, I complain. I'm moody. Every bad thing that a fella can be, that's me."
"I've done that. She just doesn't want anything to do with me. And I can't blame her.
