Do you fear getting rejected?

[belamy]

Second chance.

 

[Curiosities]

Rejection itself is fine, it's the awkwardness after it I fear.

And I tend to find being friends with girls much easier than being friends with guys, even though guys are easier to read.

Personally, rejection doesn't scare me, I just accept it as a fact of life and try to live my life however I want. Most people I know however structure their lives to avoid rejection - they won't go to bars very often, they don't put a profile picture on websites, they never approach guys they think are attractive. I think people need to come realise that everyone has different tastes and that there is no universal attraction. So what if some guy doesn't think I'm attractive - doesn't mean I'm ugly... lots of typically hot men have found me attractive, but I don't find them attractive. It's just the way the world works.

 

[Fucker29]

Yes, I do.

 

[Lawnmowerman]

I can't say I'm necessarily fearful of it, but it's a fact of life I'll have to live with.

 

[winterknight]

I've never even had the opportunity to be rejected.

 

[youngnihilist]

With men yes I do.

With women, I have no sexual interest so I don't fear anything from them. That includes nonsexual rejection or difficulties. Meaning I don't really have much investment. In that way it's nice to be around women since there's no worries or fears, though there's never any sort of intense, deep connection.

From what I've heard, women let you know when they are interested. They make it clear. Men, on the other hand, are secretive and scheming, never telling their true intentions or desires, never letting out any information unless doing so benefits them directly. It's an endless guessing game with men, that gets old fast.

I have to say I completely disagree with this as it relates to men. 7 times out of 10, ESPECIALLY when there's alcohol involved, most guys will make it crystal clear whether or not they're interested.

 

[payit4ward]

I dont find men to be scheming or secretive at all in my experience they are pretty forthcoming about it and tell you if they are interested or not. I dont fear rejection after all it happens to everyone and you just move forward with your life and know that not everyone you encounter is going to like you.

 

[AngelFromAbove]

No. I am the consummate reject, so I am used to it. As far as the women vs. men idea, I've found both to be the case. If a man or woman was not direct about it, the woman was very immature and the man was usually closeted.

 

[Edward Twinkletoes]

I don't really fear rejection. I just don't bother anymore. I don't need sex often enough to put up with somebody else.

But yeah. Women are a lot harder to seduce. Especially if you're an ugly bastard like me with really nothing to seduce them with. I'm not charming, I'm shy, I'm broke, I wear whatever I like and it's never anything stylish. I often don't shave. All the things women don't like. There's just no point in trying.

I don't necessarily fear rejection, although I might dwell a bit on why I was rejected. I generally deal well with rejections.
