Also, the rejection is rough, but us guys KNOW you're going to go to your girlfriends and rag on us if you don't think we're attractive and turn us down. "Man, I can't believe HE came up and talked to me", "Man, like I would go out with HIM" etc.. Alot of girls do it, and guys know..

They're afraid to be rejected and/or embarrassed. Nothing lowers the self-esteem more than the first few rejections . . . especially if the girl is unsympathetic or avoids the issue (you hurt the guy more if you let things drag on or if you let him get his hopes up for no good reason than if you just come right out and say that you aren't interested, even if it doesn't seem that way). Deep down guys know that the possibility of rejection and embarrassment is there, but many cannot get past their own feelings to reach the realization that the girl might not share his feelings. Unfortunately, normal guys are rejected about 90% of the time. So if you see a guy who apparently has trouble making an approach, and you like him, try to help him out. Good luck!

Have you ever heard of rejection?
Or how about one of the following:
not looking like Fabio
not being rich or wealthy
not being very manly
being a nerd or a geek
or being too nice
So on and so forth.
But, do you know that the best guy that you will ever meet and probably would cherish you forever, is right under your nose and you do not even realize it. More than likely you know who he is, but you just dismiss him like he's not even there. Open your eyes a little and you'll see wonders that you haven't been 'seeing'.

Hmmm i guess its that age old fear of rejection... for some guys getting turned down hurts their pride...silly i know. As for me, i get myself in the mindset that the girl i want to talk to will think im not her type... i can get over that sometimes though... though why are girls afraid to do the same thing? New day and age right? Or maybe its just that we are more chicken then not lol

Women can have a tendancy to be mean. To some women it is not enough to politely decline a friendlyinvitation for company ( and I am definatly not the type to just walk away from a rude person)And I would never hurt a girls feelings who approached me regardless of what she looked like.

Well..Even if we are not the stronger sex..we still like to think we are and rejection is one of the worse things for most guys to handle. getting turned down for the football team or fixin up a speed bike and loosing a race just makes us more determined but let a woman reject us.....it either turns us into total dogs..(to prove we can get any woman) or it turns us welll its just sad...!!I'd venture to say that women may have and show more emotion but guys are more emotional and we don't hadle it well!!

As a guy, I honestly don't understand this myself. Having come from a large family of women, I'm not afraid of the opposite sex. Generally, from what I observe with other guys, it seems to be a mixture of awe and a fear of the unknown.

because most women are b*tches and we don't want to spend our time and money on that. the worst thing in the world is a friend that is a girl, so unless we think we have a really good chance w/you, we won't even try. it's best to never know than spending a lot of time and money on a girl and then you ask her out and she's like... no! and then she still wants to hang out... guys and girls have nothing in common! we only need you so you can sort out our feelings and love you and have you gratifiy our sexual desires. but we're not going to do that w/just some girl that's our friend.
