When all one has encountered is the negative, how are they supposed to focus on something they've never experienced?

They should have a super rep selection for this post. Rep + 12.

Although, it's not all men. Some will always do well. Which, is good for them, can't playa hate.

To be angry with her for having choices is like being angry with the fact that there are flies in the world or that the sun is shining. If she makes the choice to not reject very many men then some of the men who come after them are going to be offended by that and that often has a lot to do with how many choices hey had. If men weren't hitting up on women though, they wouldn't have any choices so the obvious solution is to stop hitting up on us. There. Problem solved.
Yeah, it understandable and stands to reason an attractive looking woman is going to have a lot of men to pick from. And among the most sought after men too.

Me, personally, I have no beef with that. Actually, I'm not sure I have beefs with anything other than lies. I've heard too many of them. America is full of them.

I don't hit on American women. But like feminist women, or women that have been raped once, feel for women in x position (or just for being a woman), I feel for those American men hated KKK-style by the female population of the country and her side kick males.

I don't care what they say. I learned from their play books. Rule #1 in their play books: oppose him/them at every turn.

So, I say to myself, get myself convict fit, change my last name to Mohammad, arm myself, spit on the flag, and provoke your enemy to draw his firearm. And when he does, there'll be no tears in the end.

I don't know what it's like to think about rejection all day, or even on a daily basis. Honestly I can't remember the last time I ever thought about rejection, probably the last time a woman told me to kill myself again, which was some time ago.

Also, I've never thought about a woman's sexual past, or how many partners she's had, or how often she's turned men down. It's never been anything I've ever cared to think about.
No Prince, it's like I tell my students when I'm giving the whole class trouble--"if you weren't doing what I'm getting onto you all about then I'm not talking to you.

Lord knows there are mean people in this world and not all of them are men and not all are women. 50/50 probably. You've mainly been exposed to the nastiness of women and I've primarily been exposed to the nastiness of men. I had one man drag me back to the bedroom and attempt to rape me at a party b/c I wouldn't go to bed with him. No wait, that happened twice only one of those times he was going to drag his friends into it too only some of them got smart and realized that was going to be real trouble and stopped him. These were innocent college parties. Well I guess not so innocent but the kind that normal kids go to, not the crazy wet t-shirt ones you hear so much about. Both were first dates and the second one had ignored me all evening until he was ready to get laid. Nope, there are just mean people out there and women have to be smart and reject men and sadly they often reject the nicest ones.

The numbers here are kind of over the top

My guess would be between 1-4 times a month for an average girl who is not very flirty.

I think people are overestimating social contact. First we interact with a lot of the same people on a regular basis and second most men don't ask out random strangers out they just saw at a gas station or supermarket. Not even here in Miami, and not even if you look like Megan Fox. Third a good amount of men are not single and/or are hanging aroud with their girlfriends. So no, it's not as common as people claim in this thread.

The fact that you can even begin to compare a woman saying no to a date with the death of your mother is exactly the problem here. It's normal to have a grieving period when your mother dies, but not when you get turned down for a date. You only have one mother, but there are billions of women in the world. When one says no, you ask out another.

Reading the frustrations evinced in this thread, I say facetiously, with a curt and condescending grin - but really, only partially so - that the comprehensive solution is - wait for it - Sharia law! The highlights include:

- strict separation between the genders, in all walks of life
- arranged marriages, often contracted by the parents while the future bride and groom are still infants
- severe penalties for extramarital sex
- formation of couples based on what's best for the village or tribe, and not the two individuals

Then, men would no longer fret over being rejected. Women would not grouse about being approached by undesirables. We'd no longer roll our eyes over sexual themes and sexual exploitation used for advertising and for pacing the culture. Men would rest assured that attaining some threshold of financial success guarantees scoring a bride, social skills be damned. And teenagers would have no awkward moments over sexual hangups.

What's not to like? To prepare, begin by weaving sturdy baskets for holding stones to throw, and start drying strips of leather to make whips. The more delicate fabrics will go towards making burkas, and the best steel for branding-irons. I see a new economy rising, and a marvelous social order that dispenses with the tawdry trappings of reading body language, online dating, primping and toning, pickup-lines and cocktail party banter.

There are 52 weeks in a year. Four rejections every other weekend = 4 * 26 = 104. (There are more than 4 weeks per month.)
