Why does rejecting guys make them want you more?

It depends on his level of confidence and self reliance. If a guy is confident enough to flirt with girls on a regular basis he will understand that rejection is part of the game.

However if he is the type that gets a crush on that *one* girl who is "special" and takes weeks or more to work up the courage to ask her out then the rejection will be like a punch in the gut to him.

Conquest, challenge, trophy: All the things that guy wants in video game.

By rejecting them, you are the conquest challenging them to bring you home as their trophy.

Take note this happens subconsciously. And like a game that is impossible to win, they will give up after many desperate fruitless efforts..

I call bullshit on this most guys give up. Guys chasing girls is media stuff no guy in real life values a girl more when he's rejected instead it becomes More difficult to obtain. Guys give up pretty fast I dont think rejection increases interests it's More likely to just make the person sad they can't get u which diminishes later.

Its simply because the more difficult to reach the more desirable it gets for people

I think for the most part guys want what they can't have.. hence why they cheat

Cause god or evolution or whatever made us was like "Hey i'm gonna make a type of being that can't cook, can't survive on its own, can't reproduce on its own, can't make good decisions, craves sex with every fiber of they're being but can't effectively get it, has absolutely no point on this planet besides fucking everything that walks and everything else they just fuck up, has no respect for the rest of the planet, I'll give them mass amounts on shit to screw up and we'll see how long it takes them to die off"

If you reject them politely and with consideration, they think, "Gee, she's so nice, even her rejection makes me feel great."

So we are even more favorably impressed and intrigued. If you really want guys to go away,, you have to be at least a little cold, not too doggone polite.

I don't mind rejection; what I do mind is when I accept it and leave a girl alone, but then she gets mad at me and tries to get me to like her again. (What?) Women are crazy, I swear... >.>

[PiuBelloAmante]

lol doesn't work that way with me
But I have seen it happen

I guess it's because people desire things that are difficult to obtain...

[Takada]

Never seen this happen before. It's probably only done by desperate guys.

[genericname85]

for me never. if you reject me i start trying to get over you and that´s it. i will never make another approach.

[master_poop]

Makes me piss off elsewhere, I always think of guys who can't take no for an answer as slimy and creepy.

Human nature. If you believe the Bible, it all started with the first two people.
Wanting what we can't have is nothing new.

[YingKim]

I think this is mostly true for loser and desperate guys ^^

[Anonymous]

It doesn't make guys like you more. It just doesn't make them not like you

[Streamhopper]

The thrill of the chase...

[JaladinRumi]

your blanket statement offends me

[Izzex3]

Some of them think of it as a game.

[Drast]

I have never experienced this before.

[RajeshTheJeshter]

It doesn't.
