Yes but you women get rejected far less then guys. So this is a bullshit statement we all know guys get rejected a shit ton and women rarely ever do
I've been rejected many many times. Not counting dating apps, 11 times in total 2019. And that's only counting instant rejections when I approached first and guy said "no thanks". 11 times! Add dating apps, being used for sex and being led on by guys who didn't know what they wanted, that would make more 30 failed attempts in 2019.
You think women don't get rejected because it's a taboo to talk about it. It's embarrassing. Society calls us desperate and sluts, so we don't talk about it. Half of those rejections I had nobody knows about, it goes with me to my grave.
@little_bird1 dating apps don’t count and nobody thinks a women is desperate for asking guys out. I’ve never heard a guy complain about that. It’s other women who call women sluts for asking guys out. Still don’t buy it
This guy gets it! Women tell that to each other to discourage women overall from making the first move.
Communication is a good thing and being honest. Want to chat? 😃
Simple, be straightforward and cut the bullshit
I don't believe women do. There are likely women who are very fearful of rejection but I doubt its similar or comparable to the fear men have.
Its a lot bigger deal for us.
That's why it's one sided and men have to do all the work because everyone would be single if someone didn't just pull the trigger. Guys are afraid of being used for money by the way. There are girls who hop on Tinder just to get food out of people
Communication and honesty. You should watch the movie "the invention of lying" we need honesty, not as extreme as that movie, but if everything was our there there would be no issues.
Rejection is tough, but it's a part of dating. Being used is a legit fear.
Both men and women need to take initiative and talk to people they like, sure you can be afraid of rejection but don't let that fear control you, take charge and carve out a path for your own happiness.
Just don't think of sex, neither when approaching nor when being approached. You women seem to have the wildest fantasies about sex whilst we men just have the usual PIV which is far easier than anything else.
Women don't have it anywhere near as bad as men do in the dating scene, so I really wouldn't complain if I were you.
Make an even trade = how can we get you to continue taking all of the risks like you used to.
No it is not even trade.
Women at your age can go and find men, without any issues.
And you just keep sex as hostage, most of times anyway.
When for men it is different game.
I'm not blaming anyone here...
Don't compare women's rejection with men
If one man rejects a woman , another man will waiting in the corner for her attention
But once a man gets rejected , there's no one for him
Pathetic those three women who down voted don't realise it pathetic
You live in fantasy. Only models have guys waiting in the line.
@little_bird1 really if that's the case everyday women would not complain about catcalling then only models would
Your the one living in a fantasy , there's probably an incel drooling for you
I don't fear rejection. It is just part of life for those who try. No one with more than a few swings bats 1.000
Those who do fear rejection, I think, suffer from a scarcity mentality.
By lifting your heads up from your silly smartphones, girls we cannot talk to you anymore, you are always focused on your insta, snap, whatsapp stuffs...
more than you than you know. we use it against you to sleep with you
There is no such thing as even trade, there will always be one side that has a stronger pull than the other. However in this growing #metoo generation, I feel like the scale is tipping over to the female in term of natural urge.
Simply don’t give a shit and everything falls into place.
How often does a woman get rejected, compared to a man? I rest my case.
the only point that proves is that men are desperate enough to say yes to almost any woman
don't be mad at women for actually respecting themselves and their preferences x
@5yrup I'm not angry at women at all, and your assumption is a misdirect. We're not talking about desperate men that no woman in her right mind would EVER accept, being rejected. Those guys don't count. But to use your own example, the woman who respects herself and has the standards and preferences you speak of gets exposed to very few men who live up to those in the first place. So are we talking about those who actually DO meet her standards, but then reject her? This a very low number, percentage wise.
@5yrup 👑yess queen
@5yrup could be desperation sometimes but I suspect most guys are simply attracted to girls at a much higher rate than vice versa. I'm one of the pickier guys by the way haha
@5yrup News flash, men want to fuck.
@DonCachondo I believe "insecure people" fear rejection, whether they're men OR women. But I do believe since men are mostly the "pursuers", they get rejected way more often than women do.
You can initiate, but not have sex with him until after a certain point when you feel he is not using you.
