In many cases that's probably true. I think there is a heck of a lot more to it than that though.
What might be even more scary is NOT getting rejected. In other words, the girl accepting it means he has to go through with it, which might be far more frightening. There can be all kinds of scenarios spinning around in his head that he has no idea how to deal with.
I think there is a lot more to it than acceptance or rejection. I think there is some deep psychology involved that I don't even want to guess about. For some guys they CAN'T do it. It completely terrifies them. There is a wall of fear so strong that they just can't break through it.

I don't think so. I think guys are a lot more afraid of legal repercussions like divorce or fake rape claims than they are of some woman saying "no." Women are also just not very appealing in general today.
25% of American women are on psychiatric drugs. Most of them are overweight and many are obese. Virtually none of them are chaste and most of them are basically hoes. Many have STDs.
Men mostly just respond to incentives & punishments in life. They do what they have to do first, then they do what's fun/enjoyable. Modern women fit into neither category. 🤷♂️
That’s the reason why most people are afraid to approach someone they think is attractive

Yes and no. It goes much deeper than that. Women think that guys just cold approach them but typically they don't. Women give guy subtle clues that they'd like to be approached. No one like rejection men or women. So Women are subtle about it so that if the guy doesn't pick up on it. Or is not interested they can pretend like they never dropped any clues. This is problematic. Because a lot of times guys are oblivious. And sometimes the woman is so subtle that no one alive but her even realized she dropped any clues. So
So in short a majority of the time it's not that guys are afraid. At least no more than the woman. But the woman has really not shown sufficient interest.Yes but Rejection is nothing. Once you realize that you will lose that fear.
I am single. I see a girl I want to know better. I go talk to her. Ask her out. She says no. I walk away, I am single.
I start single. I end single. What changed? Nothing. You lost nothing. BUT you gained something. The courage to ask again with just that little bit of confidence and experience.I don't approach girls because I don't know them, I feel like to approach with intent to date requires online dating, it's not like people wear personality bios and interests advertizments on their clothing.
When I see a girl while out and about, whats my incentive to talk to her? Why should I be interested in her when I've seen no signs she is even relatable?Rejection is tough, and unless you practice, it's intimidating.
An important thing to remember is most women are smaller than you and unarmed, so if you approach, try to flirt, and she doesn't want to chat, you can keep going with your day and forget you spoke to her.because usually, they approach me first... and then I get in a relationship for years to come
so I don't really approach or date much in the first placeOften that's the case. It's silly because there's nothing to lose.
Maybe. But back when I used to approach girls I didn't worry about that (part of the fun was not knowing). Now I no longer approach because I think the juice is not worth the squeeze.
No, if you care for her. Because you know you do everything you can
