Girls, do you get an ego boost from rejecting guys? If so why?

[Anonymous]

Also is it a greater ego boost if the guys hot or does it matter?

This is how it pans out for me:
1) guy I am not into hits on me in some manner.
2) confidence boost.
(interlude of conflicting feelings)
3) try to let him down gently.
4) ego takes a hit.

Even though I have every right to turn a guy down, it still feels like I am doing something horrible to someone else which is painful on the ego but my confidence level is likely not going to take a hit ("Woohoo! I am hot! Boo! I am an awful person!)

it depends. for example if he is a friend that d be really awkward but if he is not and he is a quite good looking guy then maybe that increases your confidence but still, it all depends on the type of the girl;)

No, I actually always feel bad unless the guy is mean. I get an ego boost from being approached or asked out, not from rejecting people.

Not all girls are nice like you though, I wish more were

[vmw2008]

Not all girls are nice but you wouldn't want those girls anyway. I'd say the majority of women don't enjoy rejecting people.

[Asker]

No offence but how many girls have you approached and asked out? I've too many guys approach a girl only to have her reject him and you can see it go straight to their head she's hot shit now. Its actually disgusting to see

unless he's a prick of course

I think they do. Women love rejecting men, it makes them feel superior over men.

This is very true because men were always seen as the dominant ones in the past. I believe society still believes in that. Women get fed up with the fact that men think they could do whatever they want because they're 'MEN.' It's fine if a man wants to respectfully talk to you. If you're not interested, just tell him nicely. But, if he wasn't respecting you, it's perfectly fine to be more assertive. There are times where you have to be rude becam they're are guys out there who want to take advantage of women. Women were perceived as the 'weaker sex.' Women happen to be very strong people, so they should be allowed to have power over their lives the way men do. Women don't want to reject men just to be mean. Women get a pleasure out of rejecting men because they feel like they can have control over themselves. Some women act very stuck up and nasty mostly to protect themselves. Some men try to take advantage of women, so they love the fact that they can put a stop to it.

@candygirl54 women can take advantage of men as well you know.

[candygirl54]

No, I fully agree with you. Some girls are just mean. But some are like that because they don't want guys giving them unwanted attention.
