Well, it's actually more likely that the type of men who are more likely to do this are a type(Not the type) more likely to approach women.

It takes courage to risk rejection - Or a wall of self-defense around you, which could be achieved by blaming the woman who rejects you.

Women tend not to approach men, and certainly not in the numbers that men do. Men simply have to. Those without real self-esteem have to develop defense mechanisms to handle it.

I have a trick, too: Be really, really, Zoolander-esque attractive.

It works for me.

I'm not feeling sorry for him in this scenario, I could care less he has problems approaching women. That doesn't give carte blanche to start hurling insults and embarrassing the woman in public. But they will do this and they didn't seem so low and self esteem depleted to me. So yea right.

and I never seen Zoolander

That happened to me once, a long time ago. After I politely turned her down, I just looked at her while she angrily said what she wanted to say (including the "gay" line), and then I walked away and went on about my business. I could tell that she probably didn't mean much of the vitriol she said...her feelings were just hurt and she lashed out.

If a woman makes an advance on me and I'm not attracted to her, I'm probably going to reject (nicely of course). Otherwise both of our times would just be wasted.

People show you who they really are. Just because you get rejected does not mean that you have to be hostile and angry. When someone acts crazy I think thank God that this person showed me who he really was besides the : Hey beautiful....... You're so sweet.... etc. which means I say what I think women want to hear but I really don't respect you or regard your feelings as important.

these are the types that think they are getting somewhere (or something) because you decided to give them a shot. they are not treating you as people, they are treating you as objects that can be moved around an manipulated until they give you enough of what they perceive you want. they feel like you owe them something in return for going out of their way to try and buy your affection off.

not much you can do but move on and laugh about it later.

I know I'm the only one in this camp with this belief, so everybody will disagree with me, but in my opinion to the women, suck it up. If men have to put themsleves out on the line 90% of the time than you'll just have to deal with our reactions. It ain't easy what we do, and don't act like women have never been rude to men when we try to approach either. I think most of us men have suffered an embarrasing rejection or two, so I don't feel sorry if a guy you rejected blows up in your face.

Who cares about them putting themselves on the line? Are you serious? And then you all wonder why women don't want to be approached in grocery stores, malls, public parks, coffee shops, public pools, charity events, pet shops, in the library, on the job etc. etc. There's obviously a 'consequence' for it if he doesn't get his way.

So meting out retribution to women tried to be polite when they're rejecting is the way to go about it huh? Do you tip all waiters poorly because you've gotten bad services from certain other waiters? I guess for those that go out of their way to try to make the dining experience as pleasant as possible for their patrons just have to suck it up after d-bag patrons after d-bag patrons decide not to tip at all or tip poorly.
