Can you take rejection?

I try to be civil as I can to the "INappropraite" men that write me.ie; too young, no attraction, or whatever. But, then they argur...Ugh! Please just be civil and don't call me sweetheart or honey-I don't even know you! CAn you take rejection-I have been rejected...as I am sure we all have had that experience!!!!

Being able to accept rejection and one's ego play an important role as to if one can be okay with being turned down. If one gets "shot down" too many times, it may then start to effect their self esteem. Women get turned down far less than men do because very rarely do they approach men (at least in the traditional sense) Women get approached by men far greater than men by women. Therefore, in general, a woman's self esteem is higher than a man's in that department....which could lead to a woman with a huge ego.

So....with that said, your rational is somewhat flawed. You can (or a woman) can handle rejection far better than a man because the woman (in general) has had far more success getting into relationships than a man (in general). And, they are more confident with who they are because they have been approached numerous times in the past. This past feedback for a woman helps their self esteem. The same as the lack of past approaches from women to a man helps to keep a man's self esteem lower.

However, that does not mean a man needs to be mean when getting rejected. :)

I think I got my point across here? grin

Thank you, Johnny...very well thought out points in the subject of rejection, ego, and self esteem.....But, more specifically...how do you handle rejection? or your rejection stories....
I will start...years ago I had a crush on the most beautiful man...named Guy....but, he was in lve with a tall willowy blonde who would not commit to him....I was immensely hurt by his rejection...good but not good enough. Very humbling experience....
Here on CS>, yes, I have been rejected....It was a bit ouchy, but I have moved on. I only hate spending a very long time writing someone then it turns out not right...seems a waste of time to write to someone for so long...getting hopes up that perhaps one will meet the "right one" someday-I wait...I get rejected and I do reject others...who do not suite me.....Big ego- I don't think my ego is in the way- I think I knw spefically what I want and when it happens I will know. Attraction has to be a part of anyone's relationship-without attraction...then one is settling.
Danke, FlyJames...Very nice Quote....I often say the only enemy we have is...ourself....doh

Someone repost my song please...my ancient computer does nothing...lol
Cal,

I didn't mean a person has a big ego if they turn down somebody. What I meant is a ego can help deter the sour feeling of rejections. And self esteem can lead into ego. It was a bit complicated what I was talking about and I was all scattered with how to explain it. That is why I asked if I get my point across at the end. :)

But as far as rejection stories.....lol....thankfully I do not have many. My girlfriend of 13 years approached me. :) However, I do recall one time...it was a bit dis-heartening. Now, I let the chips fall as they may. So in other words, I rarely do any approaching.
Oh no, I understood what you said, Johnny....ego does not have to be big to get in the way....lol.
Before my ex died she told me that ,Women are are hunters just like we men and some time one does not need to make the first move.

It works alot better when she makes the first move, then one is a position to say Yes on No.peace
Flyjames, I am old fashioned...if the man does not make the first move...it will never happen with me.....plus I am in the South.....manners are veryimportant and respect.....
Women are alot more subtiel than we men,
When she makes her first move most of the time we men dont see it.

I tried your method twice, they didn't take me seriously! They actually found it endearingdoh
Rejection is never nice and I can understand if someone is upset when a relationship or at least the attempt of a relationship goes wrong, but not "strangers" flipping the lid when you tell them here or in RL that you are not interested in a date with them. uh oh uh oh uh oh
Butters, do you smile too when you say the f word to them?confused
IFL, it sounds like you also carry a set fangs and claws somewhere on you too. laugh
