We have all been rejected on those grounds and have all rejected based on those grounds.

Maybe looks...personality,not sure..maybe career wise,people sometimes tend to judge you by what you do for as living more than what YOU ARE.

Funny,when I was doing bricks and working security for a short spurt at the same time,different people judge you,and you attract different crowds.

Silly...really.

Years ago I had a new client as I was introduced to her, she stated she wanted someone younger and I told her she deserved someone younger and walked away.

Nobody ever rejects you though,they're rejecting what they think YOU ARE,but not you...never.


If you choose to pick that up,you're responsible for your feelings of rejection.

Rejected...ummm, probably no, ignored on here on the other hand, very likely all of the above, and many more reasons I'm sure. laugh

EVERY rejection involves one of those three things (other than, say, rejecting someone for being handicapped).

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by rejection. Do you mean "rejected out of hand," as in a first meeting, or rejected at some other point in a relationship?

I wonder if people experience rejection as being more painful if it's due mostly to one thing as opposed to another. For example, would it hurt you more to be rejected for your looks or for your personality?

I would definitely prefer to be rejected for my personality. I figure that's a substantive reason for being rejected. I'd rather have someone think I'm attractive but not their personality type than vice versa.

I wonder what others think about that?

On second thought, I was wrong - there are other things you can be rejected for. Heck, you could be rejected for your voice or the way you smell or the way you laugh. Those subtle things that fall under "personal chemistry" and aren't just about clear-cut personality issues.

Something that I've learned to my surprise is how important women consider voices to be. My own experience is that women who find me attractive like my voice, and those who don't like my voice don't find me attractive.

Man, to be rejected because of your voice...that would feel weird, I think.wow confused wave

Sure,I'll give you my opinion,because you can work on yourself,and can change your personality,but you can't change your looks.


Agree with you there,but in my opinion,its so much easier to accept others if you take the time to see them as THEY ARE...and not as YOU ARE,and if you do,you might find yourself a littler more understanding of them,and a little less prejudice.

You can't even change your personality really,that's changing the behviour,but not really CHANGING YOU.

Transformation,,,,CHANGE... only comes through Awareness...
My opinion...

And if nothing changes...
nothing changes.

Well, you can change your appearance by working out to a degree, and if you're really desperate plastic surgery.

In my experience, women tend to find physical strength appealing, but that and having a good body aren't the most important things.

It's hard sometimes to see past your own preconceptions, that's true. head banger

That's been the one big determining factor in going any further than friendship for me, and for many others, I'm sure. sigh

Hell, I was tempted to let you feed me to your crocodile, if you weren't so far away. blushing

Ambrose2007: Yeah, I never even considered that until a few years ago. And I never would've thought it mattered much what a woman's voice sounded like. But I must admit that some woman's voices do add or subtract from their appeal a bit.

Like you, I don't think that would be a deciding factor.

I'm guessing you like a deep male voice, Ven?


Oooo boy do I ever smitten
