How many guys would actually say no to a woman who approached them? I wonder what the odds of rejection are for women vs. men. I bet the rejection rate for men approaching women is like 80%, women approaching men is probably 20% if that. What do you ladies have to lose?

Really? That's what you think? When you think of a woman hitting on you - is she hot? What if she's not hot? What if she's overweight and has bad skin. You still think the rate is 20%?

Some women approach guys all the time, like Jet Jockey. They lose out most of the time. And it's not even about being overweight or having bad skin. It's simply about not being someone's "type". Guys brush women off all the time, as women do guys. Look around the grocery store or DMV sometime. How many of the women there within your age range would you be interested in if they approached you?

Get real. Serious reality check time.

Sure, there are a few women here and there that might dare themselves to ask a man out that is not their husband, long time boyfriend, or guy who has taken them out for a long time. But we can’t deny the fact that women are still a long way to go to say they ask men out as much as men ask women out. But hey, for those few that do, cool, keep it up. And for those that don’t, hey, that’s how they like to do it, go for it.

This is an assumption women make until they try asking men out (not the husband, boyfriend, long time date, etc.). But what we usually her specially around here is women who complain because they got rejected once and they thought it was the end of the world. Women should suck it up the same way they tell men to do so when they get rejected, shake the dust off, and move on to the next guy they find attractive, interesting, etc.

You're changing the subject. I was responding to ipfan's post, who said women only get rejected about 20% of the time. It's the vast majority of the time. And women do suck it up. That's just life. It's so routine that there's no need to post endless threads (or any threads) here on it. Grow up, y'all.

I am not sure if women suck it up when they share here how they completely stopped asking men out when ONE GUY rejected them. If men thought the same way no guy would be asking any female poster out. Can’t really find out if women get rejected the vast majority of the time if women do not ask men out the vast majority of the time. We can’t deny the fact that women are still way behind when it comes to asking out. But sure, there are some women out there who have asked men out (not a husband, boyfriend, long time date, etc.). Can’t say yet that women ask men as much and as often as the other way around but we may get there someday.

I've never been rejected - but my point was that it's not accurate to say that women succeed almost all the time and men succeed almost never. It really depends on the person.

My rejection rate is probably around 98% at this point, haha. 80% would be an improvement.
