Guys, be honest, how fragile is your ego in regards to women rejecting you or in general towards them? Ladies, are scare to reject some men?

These two morons decided to shoot a young woman in a drive-by because she rejected their advances.😏https://www.al.com/news/2023/01/darius-miles-was-unaware-of-statement-made-by-former-defense-lawyer-his-new-attorney-says.html

It's not rejection I feared. It's that it would be followed up with immediate threats, slander abuse, and gaslighting. Not just by her, but by all her posse.

Usually, if she just stated politely: "I see no future for us," that was enough.

But in high school and college, it was never enough for her to leave it at that. The girl would always wait until I was retreating, and then start with the whole: "You have some sort of problem!" song and dance. I would've said nothing inappropriate, but she goes straight to that.

And it was a no-win situation.

Confront her dishonesty, get swarmed. "Problem? I literally just asked how your day was, that's it. Try not having a problem with basic decency yourself!" Calling her a liar is somehow tantamount to attempted rape.

Throwing her accusation back: "Yeah, I trusted X, who said you were worth my time, that's a problem," would lead to getting swarmed.

Simply walking away didn't work. You'd be followed, and would have to cope with her starting baseless rumors about you.

And in academia, the man was always wrong, always guilty, no matter how insane or twisted the allegations, no matter how baseless.

I can handle a woman politely saying she's not game. But I got really fed up with narcissists. And with witch hunts, which the whole state of Michigan has a retarded obsession with. Every woman desperate to paint herself, no matter how insanely, as some sort of "victim," for the sake of virtue signal points, no matter how many men she has to lie about and personally destroy.

Those women can rot in Hell. My family wonders why I go for these broken single ladies my age. Including black women that have some... issues.

"Why not a virgin of Germanic origin?" they'll ask. First, that's asking for a unicorn. Second, because my history with dealing with virgin women has always been that they tend to be psychotic, deranged narcissists.

I'd sooner take my chances with a Chinese "leftover woman," even though past experience has shown that getting involved with anyone from China is dangerous in its own right.

My ego isn't fragile. I just grew tired of the lead-ons. Women would flirt with you, you ask them out, then they reject you. I really didn't need it.

But after 40 the rules change. I know women hate to hear this but the next 40 belong to men. If a woman wants to date after 40 generally she has to do the asking. Which suits me just fine. Dating has become so much easier for me as women approach me now. And if not? No sweat, everyone goes on about there business. Everybody's happy. No one got lead on. 🙂

No, I've never been scared. Most people around here have raised their boys at least a little bit better than that, and even the ones that haven't been raised well know that our town is too small for them to be acting like that.

Just like busses, there will be another one along soon.
It doesn't bother me, it's kind of a numbers game.
A certain percentage will say no, and a certain percentage will be interested.
Just keep asking until you find one that is interested in you.

I’m not soft anymore, I got used to the idea.

I have never been accepted to begin with, so I would be fragile if they did accept me because that would make me worried and I would think she’s playing with me.

I got comfortable being single

Im a, oh well, when it comes to my ego, but then I sulk and play poor pitiful purl. Then try again.

[Gummy_Cluster]

It's all about being tactful. You can let people down easy, if you care enough to try.

[linka_pat307]

Yeah some men are hard to reject no matter how hard one tries

[NathanDavis]

[billmunch]
