Monm82 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I've heard some women say on forums that guys not hitting on them feels like rejection. How true is this? Edited June 14, 2014 by Monm82
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I don't give it a second thought. Since I never meet single guys in every day life, not hitting on me is actually a good thing. As for not being approached by strangers on the street, I am actually grateful that they leave me in peace 2
Do_The_Herp Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I suppose that women everywhere are getting rejected millions of times each day, so long as they leave their houses and come into contact with other human beings of the opposite sex. I feel even worse for lesbians.. What are the odds of a random female hitting on a random other female? Unless she looks blatantly like a lesbian stereotype. Lord have pity on the non-stereotypical lesbian woman! Why aren't the majority of apathetic whiney self-hating threads being made by straight-looking lesbian women? 1
angel.eyes Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 If two women are out together, and one is being hit on constantly, and the other is essentially ignored by everyone, she'll feel rejected. I suspect that was the context of the comment. 1

I suspect that was the context of the comment. Well, so what, then? Replace the two women with guys at a bar, and one is getting ladies' attention or at least maintaining any interest they generate, and the other one's getting ignored. Same ****, really. This isn't some assigned gender role type thing. 1
angel.eyes Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Umm...why would rejection ever be limited to a specific gender? The OP asked why women might feel rejected. Where exactly do you see a question about men in the thread? Did you fail to read the thread title? The opening post? The entire thread discussion? The topic is women getting rejected. Geez! Go start the gazillionth thread on men being rejected if you want answers focused on men. 1
Phoe Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I get it, to a certain extent. I think it's a little different than that, but the general gist is there. I have always struggled to get any dates and it left a feeling of being "unwanted", which is a bit different from rejection, but unpleasant nonetheless. However, it was a different feeling than true rejection - being the woman making and approach and getting shot down. They are two different feelings and experiences. 1
