Why Can’t Young Women Handle Rejection?

[Brian117]

Ok so I was out with some friends the other day and a young woman I’d say probably in her mid to late twenties approached one of my friends. She asked him for his number and he wasn’t into her so he simply said “you seem like a nice woman but I’m not looking for a relationship right now”. She seemed to get really annoyed and started making sarcastic comments like “well you’re the one who’s missing out”. Even though it was clear she was distraught about it. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen similar situations with young women when they get rejected and get angry about it.

I find it quite strange that a woman would just walk up to a stranger and ask for his phone number.
What happened to getting to know someone first?
Perhaps she was doing it for a bet?

Barsel - alcohol makes people do crazy things.

Sorry, Naomi. I should have inserted a :-) to indicate that I was teasing.

Barsel- I get the feeling most of the people on here are older (no offence at all), but it’s common for younger people to approach someone they like and ask them out in bars etc. obviously men do it a lot more than women

Barsel. You reach an age where you haven’t got long enough left to faff about getting to know someone. ;-)
