Women are never in the position to be rejected simply because women do the CHOOSING.
Don't a person do the choosing when they approach, instead of sitting back, taking whatever comes along and only hoping to get the person they want?

No gender is to blame. It takes two to tango.

Never take it personal. Even if they don't like you, it's probably because of something they've experienced in their own life that isn't compatible with you (ex: you're not tall enough because their dad was tall and they want someone tall, you remind them of their ex, your nose looks like their second grade teacher, etc.)

The bolded is all in some men's minds. The smart men know this isn't true; they don't set themselves up with a defeatist attitude.

Women do the choosing some of the time, too. Some get rejected, some don't. But most women take the rejections in stride better, it seems. Everyone's getting scrutinized and evaluated in this game--that part of it doesn't pertain to one party or another. Everyone's sifting and weeding, looking for a good match.

Stupidest reasons for rejecting somebody.

I wonder what stupid reasoning is used for ACCEPTING someone.

I know several guys who said to themselves, "This is the best I can do." And they were miserable, and sooner or later divorced.

Men are more bitter and take rejection harder because they get rejected more. It really is that simple

I squandered a lot of time sleeping around instead of focusing on what I needed to do to better myself for a relationship. Now, I'm not sleeping around, but finding it terribly difficult to bridge the gap into a relationship. In my sleeping around days it was a good way to pass the time, but in the back of my mind, I was still searching for the woman who completed me.
