It sure hurts a lot worse than some girl you met in a bar for 5 minutes turning you guys down for a date
Apparently, that's not supposed to hurt at all, we're supposed to be happy that we're 'good enough' for a booty call!

The only scenario I can personally see is the guy "rejects" you or an actual relationship and only wants you as a Bootycall
I put myself out there in subtle ways. I don't actually ask a guy out, but I'll tell him I like him or whatever. Only been rejected once, but boy do I remember it.

I see what your saying, But at least you can still physically intimate with that person.(and for the record I'm not talking about random ugly losers approaching you for sex, I mean guys who approached you, you found attractive but they just wanted sex) most men don't really have that option or Are presented with that situation, if your rejected by a woman your usually rejected all the way around. There usually is no "I'm not really ready for a relationship right now" but with No strings attached sex being offered. That's something I think women take for granted

I've asked out plenty of men, I've actually had 2 of them say yes, the rest have either disappeared or said 'no thanks'.
Your askin guys out though, and as long as you put yourself out there do that there's always potential to be rejected. A lot of women don't ask guys out or put themselves out there.... ever in their lives

And if they never get asked out, isn't that a kind of rejection?

Sorry, but being thought of as 'just hot enough for sex' but not good enough for a relationship is not a compliment for most women.

In fact, I see that as a huge insult.

That almost never happens though. There probably more examples of voter ID fraud in the last ten years then women who go there entire lives with no guys asking them out

Here's the thing though, and I might be going off on a rant...

There is a lot of women who Are "ok" if you will with that situation but IMO there's also a lot who go along with that arrangement and pretend thats what they want but deep down their lying(and this has burned me one or 2 times) They're thinking that even though She can't be with him in a relationship but least She can still be with him intimately. And I think that's stupid, you should never settle for what you want in a relationship. I respect women way more for not settling for that situation if it's NOT want you really want

This is my problem.

Time for a little self re-invention.
