I've been rejected enough times, I just keep rolling on.
It depends on what. If it's career wise yeah. If it's a boy or a girl well yeah it sucks but after a night out with my friends it will be over. I won't question myself and everything that makes myself just because someone rejected me.
I would, unless the guy is gay or isn’t looking for the same thing I am. If he rejects me because I personally am unappealing to him then I would take it as a personal defeat.
No one should take rejection that way. Not everyone is going to accept everyone. For reference, Decca Records rejected The Beatles. RSO rejected U2. Why would being rejected by some individual matter?
I think I’m different I just got rejected by a therapist and blocked on Facebook by her, she won’t even respond too me. I even mailed her a letter with no response. I’m not mad or sad. This just makes me want to be her client even more! But since I’m logical I’m going To stay with my backup therapist until I find another primary female therapist. The army made me Understand the need for two of everything in case one breaks maybe that’s the secret
I came in thinking most would say yes, but seeing the women's comments just makes me more depressed knowing that a lot of women still have no problem leaving it up to the guys to approach them 😔
Exactly.
Women, rejection, and defeat. That's it? A noun, adjective, and an adverb to provide context for this question so that we know what's actually being asked here?
I don't really. It can always be an 'oof' moment but they did me a favor by being honest and not playing with my head or wasting my time.
Rejection is hard in general. I've noticed that I've taken rejection as defeat from several guys i was interested in.
I'm okay with rejection because for every guy who rejects me there is another guy who is willing to date me
That's true of most people. However, how OK with rejection would you be if there *wasn't* another guy willing to date you? Or at least there wasn't another guy who you could ever be attracted to willing to date you?
Nooooo that's definitely more of a male thing (unless she has insecurity issues that need lots of validation). If someone rejects me I trust their decision that they wouldn't be right for me and move on knowing I've got no regrets. Life's too short.
Absolutely, and more even if it's sexual. It leads us to think we did something wrong.
Lol women don’t take rejection... in order to be rejected you have to make the first move... and that don’t happen
I don't believe this is a gender question. It's more a personality question. Shallow people take it as personal defeat because they expect not to be rejected.
Did you ever hear how butthurt pinks told you or somebody else, that they must be gay or loving cock?
Yeah, they don't take rejection that well.
This is true sometimes, a lot of incels get mad when they see a guy rejecting a girl too and accuse him of being gay too. It's stupid.
@TiaraGlitzNeon
Yeah, just a bunch of brainles noobs. That's all they are.
Obviously.. i mean i have only been rejected once... Trust me.. not a good feeling
No more than men.
How a person reacts to a specific situation depends on the individual, not their gender.
Yes most women take it worse than men do because men are used to it. That's one of the reasons women don't approach men because they feel like they are the ones to do rejection and can't take it other way around.
I don't know about personal defeat because that depends upon individual but no one should take rejection personally
Depends on circumstances and how they presented the news, is how I take it. But a personal defeat? Not at all.
Women generally handle rejections poorly, especially the pretty ones. Many women take rejection like a very personal insult.
