I've heard stories of men who simply wouldn't take a polite no for an answer when asking a women out. In fact, I've heard tales of women that have been followed home, stalked, insulted, and even assaulted just because she was not feeling a certain dude or he simply refused to take a hint. I have one female friend who turned down a guy, and started to receive threatening texts and emails on an almost daily basis. Have any of you ever experienced this?
Just last week, I read somewhere that a guy shot a co-worker dead, because she turned down his request for a date. Then he went to a friend of his, to say he'd "messed up". That's what he called it. He did turn himself in, at least.
I find these hostile (even fatal) reactions mystifying. I don't understand the mentality. I'd like to see follow-up stories to cases like these, in which the guys explain their thinking process.

I have not...
but given the situation, I'd check off the box for a personality of narcism....case might be made for anti social...
they seem to only care about themselves and what they want...regardless of what the woman might feel or want...

That, and much more, I would guess. There seems to be not only a sense of the polite decline as an unacceptable personal affront, there seems to be an element of a control trip involved, as well. A "how dare she turn me down! I'm not going to let her get away with this" mentality. IDK, I'm just trying to get my mind around it. Anyone else have any insight?
I haven't experienced it, but most certainly many of us including on this forum have read plenty of it. Yet, it is something that is still not discussed enough, swept under the rug, or perversely, the women themselves are blamed or their experiences minimized by some pigs who take rejection as an affront to their 'manhood' and rail against those 'feminazis.'
If some guys actually want to wonder why some women seem reluctant to be upfront when rejecting a guy, or would rather tell him she doesn't think it'll work out, beat around the bush, ghost, or do similar non confrontational things, perhaps these guys should try to understand why.
He’s standing too close to you while you’re checking out at the corner store, as you wait for the train, as you’re ordering a drink at the bar, as you’re just trying to get home. You probably feel him before you see him, his presence hanging over your personal space like a thick, wet blanket. And then he launches into his spiel.
Damn, you’re beautiful.
Do you have a boyfriend?
What, your boyfriend doesn’t let you have friends?
Can I get to know you?
Will you have my babies?
I’m talking to you, stuck up *****.
Maybe he doesn’t even say anything — he just grabs. It’s usually empty threats, except for when it’s not.
