How much are guys scared of rejection?

More than you’ll ever know because even though it’s 2024 most women will never ask a man out. They still want men to do it. Some women have, so some women have experienced it. Especially if you have no experience. You don’t want to come off as “creepy” as most women would call a man if he was tongue tied or said something stupid. You have to understand that is one of the most vulnerable spots he will ever be in his life. But when he fucks up women don’t even consider how hard it was to try to talk to her, they just dismiss him as some creep.

I don't think that's a gendered thing, a lot of people don't like needles. I have heard that men tend to have a worse reaction, but I think that's just because women aren't taken as seriously if they react a lot to things that hurt or scare them, so they often learn to react less.

Everyone is different.

As a rule, guys are expected to make the first move, so we get to deal with it more often. That has both its positives (practice and familiarity) and its negatives (more owies)

WE GET MORE PRACTICE

We aren't. We literally face it every single day of our lives, More so if we are dating. Women simply do not face that kind of rejection. Its why they react particularly badly to it. Because daddy and mommy never tells them no.

That above was a recent interaction i had with a female who was trying to date me, im in blue.

Just as much as girls are initially, but it's normalized that guys are generally the ones that ask a girl out, so over time and experience we get over it, some more slowly than others.

Most guys aren't once they get used to it, and it's very easy to get used to it. Nobody likes rejection so in some way it always stings, but plenty of guys lost the fear since many have gone through it all the time..

It comes with experience. The more you put yourself out there to be rejected, the more used to it you get. It's a numbers game.

I'd rather be rejected upfront than led on or ghosted.

it's a numbers game, the more you ask the better the chances of someone saying yes.
Rejection is part of life, it happens, get over yourself and keep asking.
All it takes is one to say sure.

Very little on average. It's such a natural part of a man's life, I got over it in high school.

I was really afraid of rejection. I used to make a joke about how good I was with rejection because I had so much practice with it. I was really afraid of it.

[JacobJordan]

Not even a little. This goes right up their with such statements as "men are intimidated by women" no man is intimidated by a woman.

It's not rejection that's our main reason for concern anymore when it comes to approaching. It's the law.

Im not scared of rejection. Why? Because i know my worth and things im doing. You wanna reject me? - Sure, later i will reject you when you want something from me.

[OddBeMe]

Petrified. Not that you chicks make it easy.

Then bitch and moan about guys not asking you out. Why doesn’t Freddy Kreuger ever get hugged?

[Anonymous]

I was terrified. I tried talkimg to one girl. Now I even less likely to ever try again.

Many aren’t, they’re just tired of expending the effort.

The fear is real, but most (at least I do) get over it because they know nothing will happen if we don't.

[Kingofkings1992]

We don’t like it. Funnily enough, just like girls

MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE

[riverrat3]
