Why be afraid of it?

Especially given that some people are vindictive and retaliative to rejection. When someone lashes out because of a no, I can imagine how scary it can be.

In some cases, it gets really violent.

Fragile Egos.
Fear of embarassment.
Lack of confidence.
Social anxiety.
Don't like the word no.
Take things too personally.
Etc.

Also I would like to point out, you're taken. Is this "issue" affecting you?

This.

Or, as Chow said, us womenfolk are just evil incarnate. Duh.

My motto is....be nice until it's time to not be nice." I don't have any issues with guys approaching me. The issue is with those who will not take no for an answer. Some guys have to have a building fall on them before they get it.

Right? I don't even aggressively reject stalkers, or guys who won't take no for an answer. I just quietly try to disappear after politely declining.

I wouldn't mind, but I prefer Wonder Woman (I have a thing for Gal Gadot).


But I'm talking about rejection and how crazy people can get over it.

Then you must be successful with women. If you think we're cruel and heartless, that would be a reflection of one who doesn't know how to approach, is super sensitive, and focused on having been rejected.

And if you think wimmenz are just big meanies, then you're Chow and some girl pulled on his ponytail.

Wonder Woman is a babe! I'd do her.

People do get crazy after rejection.I'm usually mad for a day or two Then I swear off men....then the hankering for men comes back.
