Why do women handle rejection so badly?

[Anonymous]

So me and my friend are in college. This girl sits next to me and him. I'm on the phone with my mom and he's texting his girlfriend. She tries to talk to me. I tell her I'm on the phone. She keeps on trying to talk to me, I told her for a second time "I'm on the phone with my mother." She screams "What is wrong with you? Are you gay?" I put my mom on hold and screamed at her "Lady, I don't give a f**k about you! I'm not gay, I just don't like self-entitled b***hes like you now f**k off!!" She turned beet red, got up, and left. My friend and many other people laughed. I didn't want to go off her like that, but she screamed in my ear so I let her have it. Plus, my mother is in the hospital. I'm not in the mood to hear a woman's s**t. Why can't women handle rejection?

I've been rejected before and yeah, it hurt, especially when I had to sit next to him in a lecture the next day (talk about awkward), and I've got to ask... have you rejected before and got a similar reaction? If not, a bit harsh to judge all women on this one occasion :p Anyhoo, to be completely honest, when I think of taking rejection badly, I think of guys, because it TENDS to be guys who moan about the friendzone and how THEY were rejected, becoming all bitter and so on... basically rejection is hard, but also a part of life, and anyone who takes to it extremely badly needs to get off their high horse and grow up! :p xx

[Asker]

If they allow themselves to get friendzoned, that's their own fault.

"When I think of taking rejection badly". If you're a straight woman, what else would you see happening? Besides that, of course men get more rejections and can take it badly, since very few women make a move on a man. A shy woman will still get messages, compliments and dates. A shy man will not. And it's not like every woman is a 10/10 and most men are a 4/10.
I didn't always like back the women who would make a first move on me. Guess what happened? Most of them took it badly. I was called ugly and gay because God forbids a straight man doesn't like them back. They are asked out by so many men that they believe every man on earth will see them as high quality women. 😂

[PaulPhoenix]

Also, every man who now has a girlfriend or a wife has been reject by women. Ask bisexual friends. If doesn't matter if they are males or females. You'll see it's men who make way more moves and it's men who don't make every single thing so complicated.

[nativehoosier]

It’s past time we turned the tables with women experiencing more rejection and stop them from playing their bullshit game of acting so high and mighty!

Rejection hurts, nobody likes it.
But it hurts even more when you toss in insults or start calling someone a bitch or a bastard.
I mean, I would have stopped when I saw someone on the phone or when they told me I'm busy or something. I
But the insults would have really irked me.

That's why I don't do anything about this guy I think may be interested (I just assume, he shows the signs and such) I don't want to be called a f'ing bitch. The rejection would hurt, but I'd get over it, the name calling though would really hurt.

[Asker]

She shouldn't have screamed in my ear then. Once she called me gay and started acting entitled, I called her a bitch. When I say I'm on the phone or I'm not interested, catch the hint and leave me alone.

A typical response from men when they want to immediately reject a girl is mentioning something to do with their mothers. You were blowing her off without purposing rejecting her (because you were actually talking to your sick mother) and she didn't take the cue and went off. Perhaps she in particular doesn't take getting rejected so lightly. I, on the other hand, would have stopped or wouldn't even pursue if someone were on their phone.

[Forca]

Hahahaha is this the same fella that ditched the girl for slating shy guys? Dude if this is you, I've read three of your questions today and you've had me in tears of laughter.

You Sir are an absolute legend, I wish I had a friend like you, I wouldn't need to pay money to see a stand up comedian.

[Asker]

Yep, I'm him.

[Anonymous]

Pretty women aren't used to rejection. They think because they're pretty, they can't get rejected

[Asker]

Well, they're wrong. Sure they have a lot of options, but they will get rejected time to time.

[wendigoRed]

Most women don't deal with rejection it's usually the guys because we are expected to go out and pursue the girl. If a girl put herself out there like a guy she would have no problem with it eventually. I think women with find it easier to get dates though especially if they're cute.

[Asker]

They get rejected once and stop trying.

[Creole_Flavor]

She probably thought you were ignoring her that was really rude of her though but in my experience guys don't handle rejection well either depending on if they are used to getting a lot of girls they get really angry when a girl rejects them. I was rejected a few times by my ex before we were even together I took it hard only because I was being strung along and didn't know what to think

[washize]

Lol welcome to our world. At leas she didn't grab your ass and say "Let me be your mama." You had it easy guy.

[Asker]

This was funny lol.

[washize]

lol Glad you appreciate the humor.

[Amber17]

I wouldn't classify that as rejection - that was a case of her being rude and inconsiderate while you were on the phone and you telling her to step off, after you politely tried to tell her the first time. Perhaps you went overboard but were probably emotional because your mom is in the hospital (so sorry). Even if she was trying to flirt with you, she went about it the wrong way and at the wrong time.
I hope your mom is ok...:(

[Belleza2]

To be honest, I think its the other way - when a guy rejects me yea sure it hurts but then I get over it like nothing happened because I realize he was not worth my time in the first place and she got beet red because you screamed at her and she got embarrassed - the fact that other people laughed and your friends shows how mature they are... yes, she was coming a bit too strong there but you shouldn't have screamed at her like that...

[CommieDearest]

Why does one crazy bitch mean that all women can't handle rejection? I wouldn't talk to someone on the phone, period. Supposedly you're in college... so... make sense please.

[Asker]

YOU wouldn't. Every woman is different.

[CommieDearest]

That's my point.

[foreveryoung753]

its just how girls are. we always want to feel likeable so..:p

[Seriousness]

i find that unusual tbh. personally, i felt rejected before and i think i handle it very well. :)

[Anonymous]

Because they're not used to rejection. and because they're arrogant. it's very sad. many women are very self-obsessed and disconnected from reality

[bdeakol]

Everyone takes rejection badly, we're only humans with feelings after all. You males should see yourselves when you get rejected, you start to sound bitter and say mean stuff to the girl who rejected you. Pretty funny in my opinion.

[Asker]

I've gotten rejected before. I simply didn't care. Don't generalize all men. We aren't all the same.

[bdeakol]

:/ are you serious? You just generalized us women in your question... -_- not all of us women handle rejection so badly either.
I really don't get the people who post here sometimes.

[Asker]

I typed the question too fast. I meant to put why do some women take rejection so bad. I guess girls aren't used to it.

[bdeakol]

I typed my answer too fast too. I meant to say some men take it really bad.

Yes, girls are used to it. We get rejected as much as the male gender. This whole girls got it easier than men crap is getting way too old.

[Asker]

Well, girls do have it kind of easier.

[bdeakol]

Blah blah blah. Get a uterus and then you can start talking.

[Asker]

You sound bitter..

[bdeakol]

Um, because being a man is truly a gift from God and you boys never appreciate it.

[Asker]

Stop acting like a victim. You women have it easier.

[bdeakol]

Aw! Okay I get it, you're too much of a pussy to handle life. So you make up excuses like women have it easier and "us men" are victims cause we can't get laid. Grow up, loser.

[Asker]

Your bitterness is showing.

[bdeakol]

At least I can get laid.

[Asker]

So can I. In fact, I just got laid. Nice try.

[bdeakol]

Oh yeah I believe you.

[Asker]

I detect sarcasm.

[bdeakol]

If this was real life, I'd be positive you're into me.

[Forca]

Hahaha this is epic.

You can feel the sexual tension...

[bdeakol]

I'm glad it's not just me.

[Asker]

I doubt that bdeakol

[bdeakol]

Keep talking mr. rejecter

[Asker]

I will. You'll keep responding lol.

[Forca]

Don't worry Anon, she wants the D, just try and not launch a tirade of abuse this time. You can do it buddy.

[Asker]

I don't think she's flirting Forca.

[Forca]

I know, I'm joking around.

[bdeakol]

@Forca
Don't be mean to Asker, it's bad enough that he has a hard time getting laid.

[Asker]

@bdeakol, awwwww are you upset that your bf is having sex with a much hotter girl?

[bdeakol]

A) There's no way I'd date someone like you, if that's what you're getting at.
B) I doubt a hot chick would have sex with you.

[Asker]

A. I don't give a fuck, I feel sorry who puts up with you.

B. My ex was hot, and I f**ked everyday!

C. You're a c**t and I'm done talking to you.

[bdeakol]

LMAO! Did you seriously just call me a cunt?
It's okay I'm done with you too little boy.

[Forca]

@bdeakol - you got served hard bro. Served hard.

[Asker]

@Forca she kept going. So I called her the C word.

[bdeakol]

@Forca
Asker got game, I don't. Guess I deserved this.

[Asker]

@bdeakol, since you wanna keep going. Women like you are the reason why it's safer to just jerk off.

[bdeakol]

Why? Cause they blow you off when you approach them? Sounds like you handle rejection badly...

[Asker]

I can handle rejection just fine. You don't know how to stop being a whiny bitter b***h so you argue with an a man you don't know on the internet. I'm done with you little girl so stfu talking to me.

[Sbsbdicjf]

@Asker: Literally every comment you made just made you into an opportunity of ridicule. Funny thing is, you'd never guess that based off how utterly ridiculous you sound.

[Kosmos]

I stopped talking to women because every time I talk to one they assume that I'm trying to date when in reality I'm trying to make friends they would usually insult me and I would turn my head and walk away so I decide to isolate myself from them

[Anonymous]

lol she OVER-REACTED and she has issues if she's getting sassy over something like that! Good job I would've done the same thing (if i was lesbo and stuff)

[Anonymous]

Everyone handles rejection poorly, women and men

[Anonymous]

Men kill over rejection lmfao

[Asker]

Not me. I've been rejected before, not once in my mind did hurting a woman enter my mind.

[Opinion Owner]

That's grand. But actually many men become violent. There's a Tumblr called something like "when women say no" or something. Tons of stories about that. In my experience the girl will think there's something wrong with her when she gets rejected. Guys end up being assholes.

One guy told me I was a whore but incessantly called me, another told me I was a bitch for not giving him a chance, another guy won't stop calling and texting me. They don't know how to take a no and when they do they hear it their first thought is: what's wrong with her

[Asker]

Those are egotistical douchebags. Be glad you rejected them. But also, they're good men out there who won't hurt you or call you names if you reject them.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh yeah I know. Its just a common thing.

[Asker]

Just be careful. If they start getting violent, report their ass to the authorities. Rejection isn't an excuse to act violent.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks.
