Now this isnt the first time i have or other girls i know have been called names from a guy just because you didnt want to talk to them.

I ask, Why can a guys attitude change in a second just cause he didnt get his way? Girls are not obligated to speak to every guy that approaches them, so Why do some men feel that it is OK to call girls names just cause the girls dont want to talk to them?
why can a womans temper change completely in a split second for seemingly insignificant nothing-issues? because women are human, and creatures of of feelings that just don't follow logic; just like men.

I dunno... I usually just smile and nod when people try to get my attention (even in annoying ways) and then I pretend I can't hear them. Usually they leave me alone after that, I don't think they really want anything from me. I am not much into ignoring people when they confront or address me. If they want confrontation, they will get it. But usually it's pretty harmless, juvenile stuff... like they just want a girl to smile and say hi, so they feel like they've got game (even if they don't). No harm, no foul.

Men are social animals and creatures. All men are not created equally in social deportment and grace.

I believe that the majority of men will realize that after conversing with a woman, if she doesnt reply and there is no mutual interest and it is time to vamoose. On the other hand there are the minority of overly virile bozos loaded with testosterone who cant possibly conceive of ever being rejected and act foolishly and immaturely if they are.

If this happens to a woman the best thing to is to ignore the rejected beast and move on. Being a male, I have had my ego crushed on occasion and its a part of life---you win some and lose some.
If you lose guys please dont make a spectacle of yourselves and get into a lather---this can result in trouble for everyone.

If those guys were hoter you would have exchanged phone numbers and we would be discussing wheather a threesome would be approiate on a first date. And you would never have gotten to experience the rejection behavior of these young men.
Women hold total unquestioned power in these matters. With power comes responsibility. Ignoring these boys was rude. Because you didn't feel like speaking to them is no excuse for being rude. You need develop the personal tools to defuse these unwanted situations. A word or two will do. Instead of firmness and humor you chose hostility and rejection. These are things your parents should have taught you. Sorry but your 'right' to not be bothered by undesireable guys is limited at best. Deal with it.

It's plain and simple; real men don't act like that. The guys you're referring to and guys like them (I've experienced it too) have serious issues. Be glad you didn't give them the time of day. Trust your gut girl.

I thought so too. Are their any threads here about average and decent men who get rejected and how they deal with it?

Thats what I'm talking about

I also thought this would help with maybe a dating scenario about people getting rejected. I can't even see how this would be a topic of consideration.

Those guys had no class but you also ignored them to begin with.

Still, they behaved way out of class, and no girl needs to talk to insecure jerks like those two, if I were the cop around there, I would have pulled them over and given them a ticket for public nuisance.
