Men and Women...what is it that you personally have been rejected for when it comes to the opposite sex?...just list some things that seem to block you from getting to know a person you like of the opposite sex. What is it that they see on the surface about you or your sex that makes them just give up on knowing the "REAL" you?

that sucks...sorry to hear that they are blind because of this...as for me its always been financial stability..they always tell me I'm hansom and funny and have a big heart but when the job question or money questions come up the mood of conversation seems to change

I've never been "rejected" for any active reason that I know about---but I wait for them to come to me, so they have to show the initial interest.

i usually do that too...that's the best way nowadays i think...but on the occassions that i stepped out and made efforts to get to know them the conversations were great until i told them i delivered pizza as a job...they automatically assume that i have no ambition to do anything else.

It's a good thing everyone doesn't think like this because then NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.


I have been indirectly rejected for being scary. Long story short, in high school, Guy A dropped all thoughts of asking me out on a date after he heard about me berating Guy B in the middle of class. In my defense, Guy B definitely deserved the verbal lashing. Apparently, I was the only one with enough balls to tell Guy B what everyone else thought. I just didn't possess the tact to not come off as a ball-busting b i t c h.

Guy A and I are now friends. I no longer berate people in public anymore (unless I'm feeling particularly evil).

I have had some discussions with women, but upon finding that I don't want kids--and they already have them--they lose interest quickly. That's only happened ...twice...before it even gets to the point where we even consider dating.

I'm sure I've been passively rejected a lot more than this.

But hey, I got a face not even a mother could love.
