Rejection

[hyperhammy]

I have just realised something that I find amusing: men never reject women*...
I know, most of the time the male is supposed to ask out the female, but I'm not talking about that.
I was hanging out with some friends and this girl just decided to hold this guys hand. The boy has never shown interest in her and even talked shit about her a couple times. By now they are a full blown couple.
Are women just more selective, or am I missing something? Opinions? Do boys ever reject girls?

We're men, we're complete whores.

ive found that if a guy breaks up with a girl, then they "mutually broke up". if a girl breaks up with a guy, then the girl dumped him. its like women are supposed to be completely better then us in every wa- oh wait.

I would reject a girl I didn't like, a close friend I'd say "hmm, this could be a good idea, I'll try it".

But just a random girl, ay, never.

Nope, we're just men.

Men never whore, they just score.

Men seldom reject women, because women seldom court men. Our society has it as a custom that men court women.

However, I myself, have, whilst playing cupid/matchmaker, had a case of man rejection.
You see, there was this girl. Not at all bad looking, fun and a little goofy. Then there was this guy. Tall, slender, handsome musician, who she had the hots for.
I, with a pretty good track record for successful matchmaking decided to help her get him.

And he flat out rejected her advances. They're still friends, and she still wants him I think.

Weird.

I always let the girl make the first move. I'm too afraid I'll fuck it up if I say anything.

Well to me women are more selective these days, considering most like to take things into their own hands. While some guys just think "Yup, you did it again man, another has fallen for you... enjoy it while it lasts"

 

[Mechsoap]

because most the time, a man is maybe doing it in hope of intimacy or sex, not choosing a partner for lifetime, or both...

Sometimes it happens. However, cultural norms mean women tend to be less focused on sex because they believe they ought to be. Men are actively encouraged to be driven by sex. As a result, though both parties are equally desirous of sex, the man is more forward about showing it, which gives over a lot of the power to the woman. She feels able to say yes or no, whereas the man feels his masculinity is compromised by saying no.

I think it depends on the man though. If the man is good looking or if he gets a lot of attention from the ladytypes, then he's going to be more selective with the women he dates. He'll reject a lot of women, sometimes for totally arbitrary reasons.

I know loads of guys who have rejected girls, especially for relationships.
Granted women reject men more often but in my experience that's because men are generally the ones to make the first move.

Sad but true....

It´s like this in the rest of nature too, isn´t it? The men dress up, build nests, bring gifts and beat the crap out of other guys
too impress the women and then stand around and wait for her decision.
There are exceptions to the rule to be sure, but as a rule I think it´s true.

EDIT: And because we are wired to have sex as much as possible, we don´t say no as much when the chance offers itself...

I am pretty sure there have been many times when a man has rejected a woman. I rejected a woman once about a year ago when I was studying for a test during my break between my college classes .It was mainly due to the fact that we only talked three times for about a month and then she tells me she liked me. That creeped me out because I hardly knew her so I told her I was not interested and avoided her after that. In my opinion I think she was playing a trick on me to try and hurt me.

Try that. It's a shiny [ ] command.

OT: Believe it or not, that's not true. I was recently asked out by a really good looking girl, but I chose not to. I have never had been in a relationship, either. But I really don't have much experience with this stuff.

No we aren't.

Scoring a hot chick is hard, so if we do succeed, we look like heroes.

On the other hands, chicks can get men easily, so they are called Whores.

HOORAH.

SEXISM.

Has it really come to this?

The more attractive someone is, he/she has a higher "right" to be more selective? If so, then why in the world do people tell me bullshit about true love and crap like that?

It's high time people understand why the divorce rate is so high - it has to be because of shallowness.

Not so much the "right", but the "ability" to be selective. If one is limited to few or no options, one has fewer options to reject and therefore must be less selective about the conditions. Conversely, if one is presented with many options, personal preference becomes a much larger factor in the selection process, and it is more likely any one of the options will be rejected. (Beggars can't be choosers)

Unfortunately, it works as a double-edged sword. When one consistently has many options, one tends to devalue the selection he/she makes because "there's always another option". Conversely (good word, isn't it?), when one must choose from limited options, one is far less willing to reject it. (A hard fought victory is by far the sweetest)

Men seldom reject women, because women seldom court men. Our society has it as a custom that men court women.

Also that.

I've rejected quite a few women in my life. Attractive ones too.
