    If someone rejects you and in their explanation they say that “you’re a nice guy but”, don’t believe them. They just don’t yet realize that they don’t have to explain themselves, and they’re grasping at any words they can use that are generic and non-confrontational. Which is understandable, don’t judge them for that, just move on with life.

      Sometimes I want to explain myself because the person I’m rejecting is my friend and I want them to have a sense of closure because I like them

    It’s ok to feel hurt if you get rejected.

    It’s not ok to go full Joker and hurt other people because you were hurt.

    It’s not that hard right? Like where are guys getting this idea from?

      sometimes women are especially mean and insulting when rejecting men…
      i don’t think it’s super common, and it’s a natural response to all of the men trying to be “players”….
      but i think it comes from there, and then deciding all women are exactly the same as the worst experience they’ve ever had with a woman.

        I sort of get that. But after what I went through with my ex wife, rejection seems so tiny compared to what a bad relationship can put you through.

          a lot of misandry comes from bad relationships too…
          it’s similar to the racist mindset… they have a bad experience with one <whatever perceived race here>, and then all of “them” are bad….

      Oh my god, seeing that dude always makes my skin crawl. This man is the epitome of the evil that lives openly where I grew up. I don’t understand how anyone who believes in Satan doesn’t immediately see it when they look at him. I don’t even believe in Satan and I see it.
