Is this the goal then?

Why not just respect the decision instead of trying to manipulate her by acting cool?

I think women take rejection way more personal than men but handle it more maturely.

It doesn't speak anything though. Are you not reading responses? We expect you to behave with grace to rejection. We aren't going to say "Wow, I thought he would call me a **** and write graffiti all over the walls about me, but instead he just said 'ok, thank you' and moved on. All of the incompatibility issues are now gone and I must marry him!!"

Not going to happen. And if it does, that woman has entitlement issues.

I agree, but often rejection from a woman's standpoint does seem more personal, at least when you first meet someone. We hear again and again how visual men are and how appearance is #1. Personally if a guy rejects me, I'll think it's because he thinks I'm gross and disgusting, not because he doesn't think we'd be a good match.

I know that's not fair and a double standard, and hypocritical of what I said before, but there it is.

Oh my god, this. Mature women may still cry (secretly) and feel hurt and demolished afterward, but some men really take it to the extreme and become insulting. Women can internalize that hurt.

Your thoughts...
I don't even think about it I just find another woman that won't reject me and will like me for who I am PROBLEM SOLVED

Whether you act mature about it or not won't change a thing
Once I get rejected you better best believe I will not waste one more second talking to that person

if A DUDE acts like he doesn't really care, then if the chick is immature she starts questioning her own "whatever" and then looks at him differently, maybe?

I think in many cases the rejector is expecting the rejectee to be a little bummed out...NO ONE wants a crying begging scene, but damn at least be a little bummed...its worse when the rejectee starts doing cartwheels and hugging the rejector thanking them over and over

I agree with your first paragraph. Your second... Well, that's just crappy. I think most people know that rejection is hard, but I certainly don't hope the person I reject is bummed out. I wish them well.

If course I'm subhuman so Ill never have to reject another person again
