No one is obligated to date anyone, so why do men get upset over rejection?

Question

If a girl politely rejects you, why do some men get so upset over this. No one is obligated to date you JUST BECAUSE YOU ASKED. Even if that person was rude in their rejection, that should be a huge red flag that you should not want to be with them.

It's hard being rejected, yes, and I'm not saying it doesn't hurt. I'm saying, some guy literally called me a bitch once because he asked me out in a library, and I said I was flattered, but no, and I had a boyfriend which I did. I mean did he want me to cheat on my boyfriend or what? But it was so out of pocket, that I actually stood stunned for a few seconds. Like why get this mad. How else do you reject someone in a nice way?

Men get upset over rejection for the same reasons women do. It’s how they may ‘react’ that will likely differ , generally and majoritively speaking.

Much research and analysis has gone in to this subject due to the high profile nature of cases of crimes against women. It’s common knowledge that men have committed serious crimes against women where the stressor has related to being rejected but these men are in the massive minority and do not reflect the typical man. They are in short mentally unstable.

In terms of reaction , my understanding is that women generally will be disappointed, sad and perhaps embarrassed with a small percentage maybe even becoming a little hostile. Typically men can react the same but are more likely to become anxious , socially withdrawn and even aggressive. It’s also been suggested that women because of the attention that they can get from their peers may often manipulate this perception of the man as the aggressor for their own purposes , twisting the optics and and communication to suit they’re own narrative to gain a false sympathy or just attention.

While the research may show that men can react aggressively , this doesn't mean that every man will react with aggression or majority or even a weighty portion will. it just means that relative to women men are more likely to become aggressive than women. Women can also become agressive , it’s just less likely.

Furthermore the hostility displayed by women whilst not comparable to the aggression that can be shown by men is still very negative but men will ALWAYS be SEEN as the aggressor even if it isn't true … this is gender bias which men are forced to just accept because men are generally physically stronger and more often the aggressor even.. based on crimes committed.

To answer what remains of your question. I have no idea why some men will become so aggressive when rejected, I’m not qualified behavioral psychiatry BUT I would hazard a guess that they associate rejection with their masculinity and given that men are taught socially to defend and protect their masculinity they may then react aggressively if they feel their masculinity is being attacked , threatened or called into question. Men never asked for this , nature made us this way as the hunter gatherer ,,, the same type of guy that females claim to desire to make them feel safe !!
This doesn’t make it right and I’m NOT DEFENDING the actions of a man reacting negatively to rejection , just offering an observation based on my understanding.

I hope that helps !

Because they don't know how to be honest with themselves because the first thing that happens when a guy gets rejected is he's going to blame the girl it's always the girl's fault she's a b**** she's this she's that because he's not man enough to even understand rejection is a part of life it means nothing it means that you're not meant for that person in that moment of time

And if you didn't stand there and say hey Will is it the way I look is it the way I dress is it flat back teeth is it because I scratched my ass when I'm walking down the street what is it

A guy's not going to ask that question because he's afraid she'll tell him and then what's he going to do

I know what you're talking about I've seen men create so much drama because a girl didn't want to go out with him she had a boyfriend she didn't say that but I knew that and he wants to blame her and call her every name in the book and starts rumors about her because he's afraid his ego was bruised I think they're punk ass b****** myself

That's like a guy that gets in bed with a girl in last 2 minutes because that's all I can do

Well next thing you know he's spreading rumors that she's a bad layy she doesn't know how to f***. .
She's an experienced and no good

And that's what he'll tell everybody but what he doesn't understand is that he just told everybody how stupid he is and that he's the one that doesn't know how to f*** because he only lasted 2 minutes and if I'm in bed with a girl that is shy an experienced I'm going to take her to the Moon and back just because I want her to feel what I'm going to feel so it's sad when guys do any of that kind of crap

9 and 1/2 times out of 10 when I see a guy pointing a finger at a girl the odds are he's full of s*** and he's a big cry baby and he had his feelings hurt and he's afraid that the world was watching and they're going to judge him so he'll turn it all around and blame the poor girl and I think that's so uncalled for so long so immature and that's why people are that's why girls won't go out with them

I read something on here the other day should I just be mad and take girls because they've done this to me and they've done that and this and that and blah blah blah blah blah you just told everybody why girls don't go out with you because of what you just said what you do they're fools guys. Cartoon total fools sometimes

well put simply they wouldn't get upset or lash out at a potential employer for not hiring them, so they shouldn't get upset when they get rejected by someone for dating, getting a partner is like getting a job, all you can do is put your best foot forward, try your best and hope for the best, and accept whatever result you get, whether it's a yes or a no, the only thing you can do is put effort into it, you can't force them to say yes, you have to deal with whatever answer you get in a calm, respectful and mature manner if you hope to ever have any future success with it

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

There's no nice way. As polite as you were, you didn't give him WHAT HE WANTED. And his nasty response showed you what kind of ass HE was, as you so succinctly realized.

This is still a world where men are dominant, and it doesn't matter what a woman wants, it's ALL ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS. And some men expect a woman to yes them, or are so angry about NOT getting a yes, they demonize the woman.

Do what's best for you despite these disadvantages. There are more decent men than there are idiots like that one. Choose carefully and you'll get what YOU want.

ManOnFire · Answer

I love the way women pretend that men fall apart so badly from rejection, when women handle rejection worse than men do. To the point of demonizing the guy or even twisting the story to their friends and family to make him look bad, or by trying to come up with reasons for why he rejected you other than what they really are, such as saying a guy wasn't into you because he was "intimidated" by you. Never actually about you and your character, right?

I also like these posts women make that are actually supposed to be a sideways form of bragging that a guy was into you and you can use it as material to talk about how you also got to reject him, just to let the world know guys want to date you. Women love talking about any attention they get, even if it's from guys they're not attracted to.

DishLady · Answer

Why make it about men hating rejection? Women also aren't fans of being rejected as far as I know. It's more about people who are naturally willing to walk away from a mess (which is considered stoic) versus people who are willing to generate the mess over and over again (which is considered crazy and toxic behavior).

HawkPerception · Answer

I think everyone would get disappointed and upset after being rejected. Feeling entitled to date someone is a whole other story.

You can be disappointed or upset and still handle it maturely and move on.

But someone who cannot take no for an answer is definitely immature and toxic. They're not worth your time, so don't give it to them.

Always be kind to everyone until they prove they do not deserve your kindness.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Haha, yeah, it’s a weird dynamic. I think some guys are perpetually frustrated, because the girl rejecting us is probably not the first one, even that day, lmao. I always say, we men “die a thousand deaths” out in the field😂

Obviously, being rude in response is psycho shit, and may come with some weird ideas about the dating dynamics between men and women. I actually have a theory, that nowadays, as opposed to “the old days”, women aren’t obligated to find a man to marry to take care of them, they’re self-sufficient, if they desire to be. And I think that was a HUGE crutch to men, particularly ones who aren’t natural ladies’ men. Like someone would HAVE TO settle for you, or face being seen as an old spinster in society, and struggling to make money in a male-dominated world.

But now that’s gone, and I think the “bottom 80%” of guys who think they’re not part of the alleged 20% of men pulling 80% of the available women, as told to them in the “manosphere”, are just frustrated and self-defeated in their own minds that they won’t just happen onto some ultimately desperate woman in need of a husband. Like this is a big part of the desire for a return of “trad wives” that we see some men have. If a woman doesn’t NEED them, they feel they might not be able to get one on their own merit. And they’re also probably only shooting for the supposedly Top 20% of women, and are blind to other women who aren’t remarkably attractive. Also probably fair to say that men haven’t caught up to women in effort towards desirability. Dudes wondering why they’re striking out in mesh basketball shorts from CostCo and a neck-beard🤦‍♂️😂

So, all that said, I think some men feel entitled to women, and while I’m sure there’s a healthy aspect where they just want to love and be loved, there’s also shit they need to work on in terms of expectations and relationship dynamics. And then some folks are just assholes, lmao. Plus, it seems like these days people are either totally down on themselves or totally full of themselves, and if you bump into the latter, they expect things to always go their way, and freak out when they don’t.

But bottom line, any guy who can’t take a rejection in stride and politely excuse himself and keep it moving, as long as it was a polite rejection, is probably not anyone you’re missing the boat on anyway, haha. It’s basically a childish tantrum because they can’t have what they want.

Anonymous · Answer

Of course no one is obligated to date anyone. But more often then not men get more upset at the way women reject men (often disrespectfully) vs. the simple matter of fact their not interested.

Here is the respectful way to reject a guy:

”Hey so and so. I think your a decent guy and I enjoyed chatting with you. But I want to be respectfully honest. Truth is I am just not interested. I think you are a good guy and you did nothing wrong. I respect you for (whatever efforts he made). But I have to be honest about where I stand”.

The WRONG way to reject a guy:

ghosting him
asking if we can “just be friends”
playing dumb
asking him for advice about dating other men and/or complaining about them to “drop a hint” (this is extremely insulting by the way).
rejecting him and then lecturing him on dating advice
reject him after mooching off (more then one) free meals and/or favors. Not saying a guy is entitled to get in your pants after one (expensive date). But if you take multiple handouts from him and later change your mind then you are a freeloading POS.
telling him “oh some other girl will like you”. Seriously never f’ing do that

80-90% of the times I’ve had women reject me above is how they did it. Very rarely have I had a woman put the mental effort into respecting me when I got rejected.

The problem is too many women confuse likeability with respect. They think it’s the same thing and it’s not. It’s very hard for women to put in the mental effort into respecting a man their not interested in. And their are evolutionary reasons for this (another topic).

And for the record this what I have dealt when I have rejected women:

been accused of being “gay”
had an ex girlfriend attempt suicide when I broke up with her
worst incident is one woman gave me a veiled threat of a “accusation” because I turned her down. That was both insane double standard bullsh*t and very scary at the same time. Yes I really had that happen one time.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

This is a thing... I've seen it where the guy will be like "Fuck you then, you're too ugly anyway" and that's literally word for word from what I watched IRL. It's why I don't get mad when a woman's programmed response isn't to reject politely.

I get hit on by trans and fat chicks, and I'm not going to even try to be polite with my rejection... because can you guess what happens if I'm not mean as fuck? They're powered by ideologies like trans women are women and fat acceptance. Fuck their ideologies, they're gay and fat. They don't really get pissed off because they expected that.

So what are you doing wrong? You're trying to be nice. Basically doing some shit like "I'd really like to but..."

Memorize this phrase..."I'm not interested at all" and then when asked why, "I don't owe you a fucking explanation, so fuck off."

They're out of pocket and awkward right? You didn't asked to be put in this position right? So fuck them for doing that! They can go eat shit and die. Basically you're in the right to be mean as fuck because they're already not respecting you... basically treating you like someone that was waving and smiling at them. They hate you... they're being a salesman and just want to close a deal... did I mention they hate you? They also do not even have enough respect to just leave you alone. ... and we know how they'll react if you try to be polite now don't we, so you can't tell me I'm wrong.

I agree , that the example you give here is way out of line , and completely unreasonable , but I may have had a different answer if I did not read the full text , he should have answered playfully , with something like " So what would it take? " or..

" Well , you can hardly blame me for trying with such an exceedingly attractive , intelligent young lady " ..

" Well , I'm sorry to hear that , but I'm sure you can understand why I asked - you are outstanding , if ever he doesn't appreciate you " -------

Oh, so one dude in the library calls you a name, and now every man alive is on trial like they’re part of some “Can’t Handle Rejection” club? That’s like blaming every drive-thru ‘cause one McDonald’s worker forgot your fries.

Bruh, men been getting curved since the dawn of time—bet some caveman got a "nah" on his cave art too. But yeah, let’s take one salty dude and act like that’s the blueprint for all men struggling with rejection.

By that logic, should dudes assume every chick goes full drama mode when they get curved? Like, crying in the group chat and posting “men are trash” essays on Facebook? Oh wait... never mind THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ALL DO. 😂

Maybe it’s not about men being bad at rejection. Maybe people just need to chill and stop projecting one bad vibe onto everybody else. Just keeping it real.

AManOnTheWeb · Answer

It's ego. Not sure if you've ever asked someone out and been rejected, but it's not fun. It's not like they're rejecting your girl scout cookies, or that petition you want them to sign, they're rejecting YOU as a person. Some guys struggle with that. That's no excuse for them to be rude or unkind. I'm sure it's some childish logic like you made me feel bad so I'm going to try to make you feel bad or something.

I will say that many women would benefit from seeing things from a guy's perspective more:

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Wow yes that guy who asked you out in the library sure did get inappropriately upset! But like you say, there really shouldn't be anything to get so upset. Especially if someone is mean, because if they are mean, that is someone who you wouldn't want to be with anyway. I remember there was someone who caught my attention at a wine tasting, and I talked to her for a few minutes. Not even close to anything like asking her out. I asked her what kind of work she did and she said, "I'm not going to tell you"... Geeschh like what is this lady's problem. I talked to her for a couple more minutes and then walked away. I'd seen her at the same event a few more times and she was full of red flags.

slickrick6600 · Answer

That is super extreme that guy called you a bitch, dude probably has some issues. Rejection sucks especially if you really care for that person and actually know them because when your interested in someone and want to know more about them it’s like closing a door to that curiosity and want to be with them. Some guys will ask out any girl with a heartbeat and maybe it doesn’t matter as much to them but in my case I’ve only asked out girls i know first and those rejections hurt the worst because I wanted to know everything about them and be their person and they just didn’t feel the same, does hurt because they didn’t want to know me like I wanted to know them.

abc3643 · Answer

It's very simple to explain.

Suppose someone said to you "You lose. You are a loser.", how would that make you feel? Like shit, of course.

When someone rejects you, in essence, that someone is saying to you "You lose. You are a loser." in the competition to win that someone.

Men don't like losing and, when they do lose, the first thing they want to do is compete again and, if they can't, they might make excuses as to why they have lost which all boil down to a sense of unfairness and anger. This is partly so because they can't handle the possible truth that they lost because they ARE losers - inferior and could not possibly win.

Cormac995 · Answer

Their just asshole men just like how woman who reject men in a humiliating or mean way on purpose are asshole woman. It's a two-sided coin. Sometimes men are bastards when they get rejected and sometimes woman act like bitches when a guy took a chance, and shit all over him for no reason. I would know.

I've never seen a man lose his crap in public like that over getting rejected politely but I'm sure it does happen. I've definitely lived through needlessly harsh rejections though. Like a lot of them.

MisterWack · Answer

No one is obligated to date anyone, so why do men get upset over rejection? Exactly, though this isn’t a male only issue this is a human issue. No one wants rejection and just won’t take no for an answer in extreme stances, though it is important to remember that  no means no  and there is no winning that person over.  This girl would always hit on me in annoying / excessive ways even when I would blurt out a reminder or two a day, “just friends” or “we’re friends!” or “that’s all its going to be”….. She was so obnoxious and would do a lot to get my attention though I’d be nice and polite never telling her to “f*ck off!” though maybe I should’ve, would’ve hurt me less…

Miristheiss · Answer

He sounded out of line.

I guess the two sexes will never fully understand each other or be able to fully identify with each others struggles.

Most women probably could have dates any time they wanted and get asked out all the time. Most guys are probably romantically alone and would die alone unless they took the chance and approached strangers. Women just sit back and weed through all of the offers, many guys are just trying to find anyone to accept and get a lot of no's.

It is probably hard to relate to the others place.

I don't get upset at all. It's just a numbers game anyway baby everyone needs to accept that. I hit on about 13ish woman a week, call it about 2 a day. Out of that I have a hit rate of about 25% so call it 3-4 who take the bate. Almost 100% of those who respond to the flirting will go on a date so call it 2-3 dates a week. I have about a 50% hit rate of doing 3 dates max then bangin' her so I get laid about twice a week (keep in mind I have ongoing sex with people I'm still dating who think they are exclusive.) So nah I don't give a crap about rejection it all part of the game baby!

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Why did you frame the question as if men generally do it to the point where you experienced it all the time? This is obviously something that hasn't happened to your often at all, and I'm sure it's not the first time you rejected somebody.. That guy probably may have thought you were lying, or just called you that to your face to help himself feel better (not justifying it.) Many times, a lot of women don't nicely reject guys, or guys are getting constantly rejected so that might build up some frustration...

SeekerOfTruth007 · Answer

What pisses me off about this question is you know good and well what the issues are.

1) Women reject men on dating apps if the man as much as makes a positive mention of God in his profile. It has been proven that over 90% of rejections online are because the man mentioned God in his profile.

2) They reject decent people, and date criminals the next day. Then they complain when the criminal beats them up, but then for some ungodly reason, they stay with the abuser instead of just leaving his sorry ass.

3) They reject a man just because he's not filthy rich, which news flash, about 90% of American men are not filthy rich.

4) Women think they are owed half your paycheck every pay period, which they are not. Get your own damned job and your own damned money.

Anonymous · Answer

Not simply men. Women get upset too. It means that they feel that the other person doesn't understand their worth and they might go extremes to prove them their worth and get validated by them. This creates an environment of chasing and this makes it harder for the person who got rejected to let go. Some guys and girls use rejecting as a mechanism to make the other person chase them. It's better to stay away from such kind of players. Else, your life will be damaged if they play you worse to satisfy their ego without accepting you.

I think this is another one of those relationship areas women are ignorant of. Since most women don't approach most men, women can create a belief of how they would feel if they got rejected. Reality is each situation is different. Tbh this is why men should consistently practice, by attempting to pick up as many women as they can, it's simply a numbers game.

It is not so much the rejection that pisses men off but the way the rejection is delivered, if it was issued politely then there would not be a problem, it is when women act like harpies and usually in a group that pisses of the men.

The vast majority of men are used to being rejected when they approach women, and they know their chances lie between nothing and bugger all. I wonder if women have noticed that they are only being approached by a limited number of men, they vast majority want nothing to do with them.

smashleyy · Answer

I don’t think it’s a man issue and more of a people issue. No one likes rejection but I do think people who take it the hardest are the ones who already have a deep unresolved rejection wound from early life and being rejected in adulthood acts as a trigger and just reinforces their subconscious feelings of being unworthy so they can be pretty volatile especially if their sense of self is built around the validation of others, it can be a huge blow to the ego.

Everyone instantly knew he is lying but like, i guess its just a coping mechanism?

They get upset over the toll or social disrespect they will need to deal with as a result. Just like getting rejected by a big job, they will often tell you why, and what to improve.

They get angry because they hope for a yes but get a no instead. It hurts their feelings. It's not a pleasant feeling so of course they won't be happy with it. They get angry because maybe ego?
