Could Women Cope With The Amount Of Sexual Rejection Men Cope With ?

Not when the studies are patriachal in nature, the dude carrying them out is a well known rape apologist yet u MRAs still fling his **** around its disgusting

LOL being female is NOT a priveledge you are very sexist for saying that.

I feel that "man-hating" is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.

A big reason for why mean get rejected more is because they don't pursue girls that are appropriate for their position, that is, they go for girls that are out of their league. If more men dated girls that were of a similar attractiveness men would report fewer rejections.


I've rejected countless boys/men over the years and it was only because they were less attractive than I or less financially stable.

I'm sure you can remember the fact I live in Australia and not the UK, if not, I'm sorry. I'm not in the business of making allowances for people with poor memories.

It's a good thing then I've lived in both the UK and Australia.

I wonder how much of a privilege being shielded from rejection is. Of course rejection is horrible in the short-term but by avoiding the risk of it altogether we deny ourselves so many great opportunities. Most people have a fear of rejection (there are only very few that seem absolutely fearless and don't care what anyone thinks of them) but while men are expected to confront theirs, women can more easily drift through life without having to face those risks. That's not a good thing for women. It doesn't just affect their romantic relationships but their career, their social life, other aspirations... Women's absence from public life is partly attributable to their socialisation in avoiding risk and is reinforced by them having much less opportunity to experience rejection in social situations.

I agree 100%. Many women (especially middle and upper class white girls) grow up with this mentality that everything should just fall into their lap. From when they are babies and treated like Disney princesses and parents never say no to never having to be the initiator in dating later in life. They grow up in an ivory tower where they are completely cocooned from all all the problems men have to face while becoming adults. This is why when they hit the tiniest bump in their lives they blame on sexism or some other societal bogeyman. Men are taught to roll with the punches and grow balls. This is also why you see thousands of 45 yo freshly divorced women on mumsnet asking others about how dating works or seeking peer approval for every little thing they do with their lives. They have never had to take charge in their life and they have the mental age of a 15 yo when it comes to these issues.

I grew up in Eastern Europe and let me tell you that women here are far tougher than their Western counterparts yet at the same time still manage to maintain their innate femininity.

Eww gross. Get your "agree 100%" away from me.

I agree, although I'm confused by what you say about the lack of opportunity. Make the first move with the next guy you like and you'll have created opportunity for yourself.

It's hard to put yourself out there when you know you don't have to do it. I'm not saying it's ever easy for men but knowing that you have to approach women if you want a decent chance of getting a girlfriend means you have to get over the fear. I have recently become way more confident and I don't mind approaching men in bars but the amusing thing is that I've started being approached way more so I don't have to. I don't know whether it's confidence, reaching my mid-20s or London but meeting men has suddenly got a whole lot easier

The worst type of bullies are those people who act like they're the victim and that is women to a tee.

Secondly I'm quite positive she would not have been defensive if Channing Tatum was talking to her.

Fact is men are nothing but clowns to most women. One of the questions I used to ask was “Do you need a man?” Out of the dozens of times I asked it, not a single girl answered yes. There is definitely not a single woman alive in the Western world who needs a man.

Don't expect feminists to sympathise with you, they wouldn't care even if they acknowledge it.

Must be be excruciating though for men who are constantly rejected.

Maybe they should just take the ****ing hint and stop harassing people then.

If you meant men then how do you know they are not trying to pull in a nice respectful way?

Women don't have to do a lot of things. They don't need to initiate, be assertive, confident, charming, funny, do a proper degree, get a well paid job, propose etc etc. They can just sit back and choose the ''finest candidate'', just like every other female in nature. You ever watch the nature channels? Males fight, dance, show off plumage, sing, croak and **** knows what else to impress the females. Women just need to look half decent. It's the privilege of being the reproduction bottleneck and the sex with the highest offspring investment.

Of course, things change quite a bit when women get older so enjoy the years you have left where you can still use your youthful/fertile looks because you won't be worth spit after that.
