I'm surprised at the people that believe our experiences and instincts should not be heeded. If even 75% of X always ends in Y, then it is a survival instinct that will make us react in Z every time X situation occurs.

Was this woman a little rude, maybe. Do we really believe everyone has to be pleasant and accommodating in every situation all the time? People have bad days, anxieties, fears and a host of other pressures that may influences our reactions at any time. Some people are just asshats.

The OP should not assume all women believe all men are trying to have sex with them based on his experience with one woman.

Sigh. A lot of guys would give the time of day to an attractive woman - their reasoning is that that is as close as they can realistically expect to get to them, and they have no further expectation or even hope.

I'll try to do that. But that pisses me off when women assume I'm like the last douchebag she dated.

Sort of like you assuming that attractive women are all the same?

Her reply was totally rude and terrible.

But it probably stems for the same experience most of us have.
Strange men don't get friendly with us or offer us help if they aren't trying to get some.
It's insulting, too, as I feel like we're not worth talking to unless we're gonna put out.

There may not be expectation but there is always hope.
What is their reasoning for not giving an unattractive women the time of day?

I have turned all of them down-save for one thing, and that one thing is a thank-you. So yes, whenever a woman makes an ASSumption that I expect her to play with my ding-a-ling in return, it pisses me the hell off.
No, it's not an assumption if the "rescuer" starts to attempting to pursue you romantically after you have stated you're not looking for neither a hookup or a relationship. On Planet Male, why does "NO" mean something other than "NO"?

That escapes me, I have no idea, perhaps these guys are misanthropes who enjoy being unkind to unattractive women.

I abandoned hope somewhere around age three.

Likely possibilities that come to mind include: dense. self-absorbed, uncaring, insensitive, misogynist.

Probably because they've dealt with a lot of people that are just trying to get in their pants. Yeah, women (and men) need to get over themselves. But it can be hard to get over yourself when you seem to be a magnet. Enough people tell you that you are something, you are likely to start believing it.

The same reason why on planet female, that pursuing a woman in this way is unacceptable and no means no if your unattractive. Where the very same behavior by some guy who you find desirable or etc is just a guy having self confidence? On planet female where they want to make it socially unexecptable and illegal for undesirable men to even have the right to pursue the act of trying to date or show self confidence. Where on planet female, rude undesirable behavior isn't defined by the act itself, but by how goodlooking a man is or how much money he has or jail time he served lol. Where on planet female everyone is psychic except they forget on planet male we are not. On planet Male no means no if your unattractive or attractive or etc etc
