      Seriously, all the same ‘plays’ too:

      • lol rofl you think I was actually asking?
      • you’re ugly anyway
      • (if the rejection is based on you already being in a relationship) she’s ugly, you’ll never find someone as hot as me
      • (if you’re single) you’re gay/you’re a f*ggot
      • (slur related to your race, more common if the rejected is of a different race)

        Seems like you speak out of experience. Sorry for you. It’s sad that so many people forget how to treat each other respectfully.

          Mine and friends, yes. I appreciate the sympathy. I’m with the woman of my dreams now, though, so I’m optimistic I’ll never be exposed to it again. :)

      Thank you. This is just a reaction shitty people can have regardless of gender. If their fragile ego can’t handle a rejection they go to anger and insults immediately. So bizarre.

      “Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”

      There’s a reason Margaret Atwood was the person who pointed this out.

      One thing women does that men don’t… Is that they remember every single time you did something dumb, and they will use that as ammunition in every fight.

        First, this is not exclusive to women. Men can and do do this. Second, if that’s your experience then you need to hang around with better women. My wife does not do this, even in the very rare instances that we’ve ever had a fight about something. Probably because she’s a normal, mature adult who recognizes that people, including me, make mistakes now and then.

          Of course. Not all women will do this. Your wife doesn’t do it, that’s great. But we all have different experiences in life. Everyone gets treated differently. So all these discussions are is about our subjective experiences.

            That’s why we shouldn’t generalize so incautiously and shove all people of group X into one drawer.

      Oh no, emotions! I sure hope there aren’t some damning statistics about how many women die for saying no.
