Most men are not as calm about rejection as you make them out to be lol
On this site alone, "why don't women date good guys like me?" And then he goes on a bitter rant saying how terrible women are.
I've rejected quite a few guys, I've had them:
-threaten to kill himself over it.
-stalk me over it.
-call me a ugly, flat, slutty, whore, stuck up etc
-tell me I'll end up alone forever
-ask "why not?" "Why not?" "Why not?" Like crazy.
I don't know why people in general can't handle rejection. If s/he doesn't like you, move on.
I've been rejected by all men I've asked out and of course it hurts but they just weren't the ones for me.

In addition to what others have said, women probably fear rejection the most. Men are used to it, and as others have said, they sometimes expect it; they do most of the asking and initiating in relationships and dating and thus, receive more rejection.
A guy can ask a woman out and if rejected, more easily move onto the next woman. For women however, a rejection resonates with us. We over think it.
We aren't used to rejection, usually (when it comes to dating) we're the ones doling it out. Guys take risk and fear rejection less, women are more risk-adversed.
Yes, 100%. I think men fear rejection face to face but women interpret rejection in that sense but also when men just don't approach us. It's a different type of rejection. I feel rejected all the time because men will approach my friends and not me. I'm always the one in the group that the rare times we do go out, I'm not approached. So, yes, I do believe it.
Yeah, cause they're not used to getting rejected.
Girls tend to get most of what they want when they want it, that added to the fact that they've been approached most of the times, they end up getting this thought that they can't be rejected, therefore when it happens, they don't accept it, cause they're used to being handed what the want.
It doesn't apply to every woman, but it does apply to a big chunk of them, a majority I'd say.
Absolutely. It's why most of them won't initiate. They are absolutely terrified of rejection. They'll even accuse a man of being gay if he rejects them. Because apparently, not being attracted to hambeasts means a man is gay. Who knew?
It's funny how fragile the female ego is, yet they claim men are the ones with the fragile ego. Yet more proof, as if it was needed, that women are masters of projection.

Yes. I think this is because women are indeed always told they're desirable and they grew up in a society where men do most of the initiating. Boys learn to deal with rejection while they're still teenagers while many women go their whole lives without being rejected even once (they might occasionally get rejected in the sense a man doesn't flirt back but that's not the same thing).
Yeah, because women aren't used to along guys out and thus, being rejected. Just look at most of the questions on this site from girls regarding relationships. A lot of them just wait til the guy goes first and can't comprehend the idea that the reason he isn't doing it is because he's just as nervous
nope. i dont think so. i certainly dont see rejection as anything other than important information. as in it tells me to move on. its not a fully bad thing. its necessary. i also have not noticed any woman trying to figure out why they were rejected.. maybe its the women yo know. or maybe you see what you want.
There is a greater percentage of men who do not fear rejection because they get use to it.
I never initiate anything sexual with anyone.
People I know put this down to me having a "psychological fear" of rejection.
I feel this is just me being lazy and used to having the choice.
They may be right though.I think if you get rejected by a guy it just means he thinks you're ugly. if you're hot a guy should never say no to you. So if a woman gets rejected by a guy its because she isn't cute and her ego cannot take it, because society says a womans worth is all in her looks
Well that's not true in my case, I gave a guy my phone number and when we started messaging each other , then he tells me I'm looking for my own nationality, he was Italian and I guess I didn't make it into his "plan". So I stopped talking to him. Who knows, he could've been lying... He could've just said I'm not interested in you. Would've been easier.
Who knows, I dont really care if they fear rejection more than men. Both genders experience it sooner or later.
Absolutely, why else would they ask about how to get noticed or if some guy likes them if they're crushing on him?
I think they do because they don't typically make the first move, so when they do, they expect the guy to fall for them. When they don't the ego bruise is bigger
Yeah that's y they usually don't propose! And do not take initiatives..
I've been rejected so much to the point where I just have no soul left. Although then again I don't care neither because I am emotionless to pain by now. Also women age like milk so they get rejected themselves in the end which I will celebrate when all assholes, players and pretty boys leave them.
This sounds like the supposed nice guy Syndrome, I don't think like this. I think that if it wasn't meant to be I will miss the constant texting, phone calls and company but time to move on.
Yes and no. There's a guy on here who women won't have sex with so he thinks their all concieted. I think men can be guilty of it too but I think women usually just want an answer to things - more specifics than guys do.
Sorry but I can't say that's true at all.
I think they are absolutely equally scared of rejection but men just take their chances to approach more often due to social conditioning.that's why we are always supposed to approach them...
I know they do that's a fact. They have more pride when it comes to looks too.
Women don't like rejection men don't like rejection no one likes rejection when a woman gets rejected she thinks it's because she's not attractive when men get rejected they say the woman thinks too much of herself, ego is an enemy to all.
Due to being more emotional most of the time, I can believe that being the reason.
That's a load of shit, you can't fear rejection when you're the one rejecting people.
