Men don't handle rejection good... or do they?

VladTheGlarus · 2025-03-25T21:46:56+00:00

Women hadle rejection much worse in my experience. About half are ok, but the other half call you gay, fg, say your dick is probably small, go fck yourself, throw a drink at you, yell, one tried to slap me... pretty much anything that they think can hurt you. I'm pretty sure if any of those women was in my weight class they'd get physically aggressive.

I believe women get far more violent than men when the odds are even or they have an advantage. I read that lesbian couples have the highest domestic abuse rate commited by partner.

Women don't handle rejection at all. They rarely put themselves in positions where rejection is a possible outcome. And when they do actually accept the possibility of rejection, they react terribly during the percentage of time that the rejection actually occurs. This is also true of a rapidly increasing number of men in the younger generations. Definitely not an "improvement" or "progress."

Women aren't used to being rejected so they handle it much worse.

If men go crazy when rejected, then females go out right ballistic

What's one more rejection to someone who is rejected all their lives?

Wylanderuk · 2025-03-26T00:11:26+00:00

Generally? Women.

JudgementalChair · 2025-03-26T00:45:56+00:00

While anecdotal and only an infinitesimally small sample size compared to every single male to female interaction in the world.

Of the dozens, if not hundred+ men I've seen be rejected, not one has reacted violently. Only one reacted "physically", but they laid down on the floor and pretended to be blackout drunk. It was ridiculous, but pretty funny to everyone else who witnessed it

Of the one dozen girls I've seen be rejected by men, 4 of them reacted physically, so 33%. Mostly clothes pulling, getting in their space/face, grabbing onto them and not letting them leave, etc.

Bonus round. Of the men who have been rejected by women, I've seen more than a handful be rejected violently by women after shooting their shot. Same as above, gotten in their face, pushed/shoved them, name called, created scenes to shame the guy, etc

Tireless_AlphaFox · 2025-03-25T23:04:12+00:00

When it comes to rejection, I think one's upbringing is much more important than one's gender. I feel like I've seen more entitled women than men, but that can just be a bias from my part

SatrapisMaster69 · 2025-03-26T00:01:34+00:00

I've seen many many women go crazy after a breakup that wasn't mutual. In contrast, I think I remember like two men irl.

UWontHearMeAnyway · 2025-03-26T01:30:46+00:00

Be in any long term relationship with a woman, and you'll find out really quick who breaks down from rejection.

There are some men that don't deal with it well. And there are some women that don't deal with it well.

But men are, in large majority of cases, expected to pursue, while women mostly don't, in the slightest.

Further, let's consider how women think. They will remember the bad men, and forget the good men. The men that respond in positive ways, they'll never even blip in her memories. The one, even if it was only a friend telling her about it, even if it's one of a trillion encounters, that responds negatively, that's the ones they'll remember for life.

This is an interesting thread I just came across. I've just finished reading a book that was written about 20 years ago by an avout feminist who went undercover as a man, well the plan was for 2 years, but only lasted 18 months. Her original thesis was to prove what she thought was the concept of male privilege in society. And what she discovered in the dating scene is that even she had trouble picking up women as a man! She ended up thoroughly disgusted and detesting the vast majority of women because they would surrily dismissed men before men really had a chance to approach and introduce themselves. Needless to say, the vast majority of her presumptions were catastrophically in error. If anyone is interested in this book, I will be happy to provide, as long as it breaks no rules in this sub, the author's name and the name of the book.

In both cases, men and women can become violent after being rejected,

but I think that men are more physical and women use more manipulation and threats to get what they want.

I have seen cases that when women are rejected, she threatens men by telling them that she will tell people that he raped her. I have also seen this with adult women and young boys.

michaelpaoli · 2025-03-26T07:34:12+00:00

heard women say that men go crazy when rejected

That's likely just from women that pick partners that are crazy or prone to go crazy, or they're outright lying, or their heads are messed up and what's coming out their mouth doesn't track to reality (e.g. like one that claimed I sent a military (style) attack helicopter after them ... oh yes, and in a very densely populated urban location ... except of course nobody else ever saw or heard that helicopter ... yeah, that and a bunch 'o other sh*t existed only in her head).

So ... 60+ years old, and in my life, had no shortage of rejections ... let's see, how many have I gone crazy from ... yeah, exactly none.

guy ended up being killed for rejecting a woman

crazy and/or violent doesn't much discriminate by sex. So, what else is new?

who actually doesn't handle rejections good: men or women?

I don't exactly see a huge difference, though at least statistically there's probably some correlations. E.g. I'd guestimate there may be more women that have a reaction of shock/surprise - seems to be some fair number that think if they ply their womanly whiles on (most) any man, that he'll chase after her ... and some seem quite surprised when that doesn't happen. I'm sure there are guys like that too, but their reaction is probably different. Anyway, I don't know that there's some huge majorly significant difference. But no shortage on both side of folks that react and do things that are quite inappropriate ... may be different, but generally all quite suck, and probably mostly to comparable degrees, but often using different methods.

Clan-Destin · 2025-03-25T22:39:41+00:00

For me it's not a question of sex, it's the immature people, the unbalanced people who do what they do but that's scarier than saying "it could be anyone who loses a temper or hides a vice..."

mrkpxx · 2025-03-26T06:54:23+00:00

Women don't take rejection well either; they only manage to shift the responsibility onto men, which often spares them this fate.

WanabeInflatable · 2025-03-26T08:03:52+00:00

I read these news, where did you get that she actually asked him out and he rejected?

In the news I read, he asked her out, she rejected but was so angry that he even dared to propose something, that she called her daughter (and her daughter brought friend). Together they toppled him and jumped on his head.

Most infuriating thing - criminal experts decided that man died from a loose thrombus and thus women weren't even arrested.

Top_Row_5116 · 2025-03-26T00:28:57+00:00

Both genders handle rejection differently. Its sexist to say one gender handles rejection worse. Lets be honest, everyone has their moments. Some men do get violent when they are rejected. Some women do get violent when they are rejected. Some men dont let it phase them when they are rejected. Some women dont let it phase them when they are rejected. That is just the way the world works.

NewMoonlightavenger · 2025-03-26T00:29:47+00:00

PEOPLE don't handle rejection well.

liquor_up · 2025-03-25T22:46:18+00:00

Well

Hotato86 · 2025-03-26T01:01:14+00:00

Rejection is a way of life.

Sitheral · 2025-03-26T15:27:14+00:00

Some handle it better, some worse. Depends on few things really. One is experience. Like with everything, you get better at it at some point. But also a lot depends on how a woman handles her part - it can definitely be done better or worse. Its a tricky thing too, being too nice isn't really good... young womans rarely know how to do it well.

alwaysvulture · 2025-03-26T15:28:40+00:00

Women handle rejection way worse than men imo. Real men anyway, not pussies. Real men would just brush it off and be like “well, it’s their loss” and take it on the chin. There’s really no need to have a tantrum about it, it just makes you look pathetic and needy.

CarHungry · 2025-03-26T00:19:40+00:00

Men are more violent in general, but unlike men women commit more gendered violence than any other type of violence. But men do more of every kind of violence than women, because of the way gender roles work.

People generally don't react violently to rejection, maybe manipulation, deceit. Based on statistics and my experience of women's behavior, I'm lead to believe they aren't all that afraid of violent men. I mean statistically men are much much more likely to kill eachother, and the more violent criminals are more likely to reproduce in the small windows they're not incarcerated.

RevolutionaryRip2504 · 2025-03-25T22:30:51+00:00

i think (from my experience) both don't handle rejection well. However, men tend to be physically aggressive while women belittle them and make jokes
