Reminds me of a movie where he stood in the rain on his knees outside a temple so that he will be accepted as a disciple to learn Kung Fu.
So persistence will pay off in the end and you will learn Kung Fun or get a restraining order.

well from what ive seen is that a person needs to experience an equal amount of rejection and success. If a person only knows success then being rejected will be an unacceptable concept and will cause the person to get mad. On the other hand a person who gets rejected a lot will tend to reach a breaking point and lose it.

they think its good to be persistent. How foolish.

[quote=billabong79]Do you know what's more difficult? Rejecting. Like when someone likes you and you don't feel the same, you sorta feel guilty don't you?
I mean if I get rejected, my ego will be bruised for a while. But if I hurt someone that guilt just lingers and the worst part is you can't get rid of it.
but yea a no is still a no and should be respected. Whether its a happy no, sad no, angry no, silent no, awkward no, I don't know, no is a no.[/quote]

I've rejected some girls before and that was hard as heck. When you do the rejecting, it's like you're making someones worth, worthless and their world just crumbles down. On the flip-side, I've been rejected before not in the sense of asking someone out but in a self-worth typa thing and it's not fun.

You'll lose more if you've invested more into a person when you got rejected, the same can be said for relationships. << If you know that much, you should be prepared for an outcome, rejection wont be as bad when your feelings are mutual.

personally, from what I'm going through right now
some girls kinda make it out that they like you, send some pretty strong signs, go on about how they just want a guy that is nice and funny and all this other crap
and when you ask them out they reject you.
and you're just sitting there confused as hell.

Them guys you speak of take NO as an ego killer and reality makes them aware of that inflated perception they may have had of themselves

@xoqtprincessxo You win, I died laughing.

girls play way too many games to know when no means no. girls still think playing hard to get is still cute

its not that we cant, its because society has decided that guys must ask girls out and guys must propose, so obviously girls get to decide yes or no, thus the option for girls to get rejected is non applicable for the majority.

I wouldn't mind getting slapped by your meaty hands.

@xoqtprincessxo You sir; just for that, are my hero for tonight.
OT: You see... men and women are like the sun or like a badly set up alarm-clock. No matter how many times you say no they'll keep screaming into your face. Solution: wait in awkward silence.

I'm surprised this is a question that needs to be asked.[/quote]

It especially hurts when you get rejected multiple times which is a fate majority of guys have to deal with.
Or when you never get a single yes your whole life. After a while each no can either become excruciating or numbing.

Because rejection hurts.
I'm surprised this is a question that needs to be asked.

Because they are little imps with an entitled mindset.

So if it's so easy to be simple why don't you girls ask us. We men are supposed to be simple beings.

[quote=xoqtprincessxo]See a woman using her laptop in the airport. I notice it has stopped working.

My oppressive male heart fills with sadistic malice towards her

I walk up to her, grinning with savage glee

Shock and horror fills her face as she sees me looming over her

Her eyes brim with tears

She cowers and begs "P-please don't, sir..."

My engorging p.enis begins to rip the seams of my pants as I leer and say "Pardon me, but I couldn't help noticing you're having computer troubles. If you don't mind, I'm sure I could fix them."

Her eyes downcast, she mumbles "o-okay"

I savagely take her computer and begin to fix the rather simple problem as tears stream down her face

All the men around me begin laughing evilly and hooting like wild apes of Borneo, reveling in her oppression

I hand it back to her, saying darkly that it should be working now

Testosterone fueled ecstasy fills me as I watch her spirit crumble

She weakly takes it from my strong male grip

All the women in the airport are now forced on their knees from the oppression in the air

Defeated, broken, she feebly sobs "Thank you" as the last of her independence disappears

As I go to catch my flight, I smugly reply "It was my privilege"[/quote]

I laughed so hard at this

I wouldn't classify guys as being unable to handle rejection, it goes both ways and depends much more on the person than their sex. Also just because someone says no does not mean that you have to stop trying, I know a lot of relationships that the partner didn't like the person at first but over time they grew on him/her and they are now together happily.

The same goes towards girls

i think girls handle things like rejection more poorly than guys do; it's just in a girl's nature to be more emotional. There is this girl who has had a crush on me for six years now and is still trying to get me to be her boyfriend.
