Because women prefer to be left alone more times than not.

Maybe they just don't want to talk to you? I don't talk to women often because I don't want to. I never realized it was a requirement to interact with the opposite sex.

Everybody should just stay in their bunker then.

Like I said, that's cool if that's what YOU want. A lot of people complaining about it don't really want that, though.

This is why I prefer doing things by myself over asking for a date. Women are so hostile now for no reason at all. Being single is so much easier in my opinion.

No, they're not. STOP IT!

There's enough time in my night to deconstruct some of this BS.

Are you out of high school yet? Because that's probably the only time in life where most people are gonna be mean *******s when rejecting someone. That and middle school, perhaps sometimes early college maybe?

When you're a few years into adulthood, MOST women will politely reject you. Maybe 1 or 2 out of 10 are gonna be not very friendly, but that's about it. If you experienced that more than 20% of the time you've been rejected, you've either been unlucky, you have a small sample size in asking people out or it might be you who is causing this.

You either sound like someone very young and who has only been rejected by high schooler's, had a bad experience or a few and are bitter or you're just breaking chops here. Maybe you've been watching too many movies too.

You gotta not care.
I'm embarrassed by a lot of things, getting rejected isn't one of them. Even when I had zero confidence, I wasn't embarrassed by that. Don't get me wrong, I probably wanted to avoid the person rejecting me after that. USUALLY I never saw the person after that ever again, so that took care of that.
For some, that's easier said than done. In some cases, it still mildly affects me, but not anywhere near at the level it used to be.

Though, this is one reason why I prefer OLD over IRL. Generally speaking, the women on there are single and looking, and if you match and start conversing thoroughly, then you can pretty much bet that she's interested.

Believe me, I've been there. I've definitely been there, man. I was never really embarrassed though, unless I had to walk by them again after that. Maybe then I was mildly embarrassed.

I definitely saw it as more of a blow to my self esteem and confidence than embarrassment.

And a lot of the times you get rejected, it's not necessarily an indictment on you. They may be in a relationship already. A lot of people get rejected and they think that they're ugly or whatever or it's something physical that made the person reject them.

I wouldn't say most, but the fact that this does happen (and I've seen it before) makes it not even worth the risk in my opinion. OLD is much easier.

Ask your 'boyfriend', unless you're afraid of any questions that might arise as to why you're concerned about being 'approached'.

Yes. But there are many men (and women) in the world who don't feel "good enough" to take these risks.
