It’s hilarious to watch women complain about this. Even women who are at some point in their lives are relatively forward only experience an extremely tiny sliver of the rejection men experience.

Also, you’d have better success as a woman approaching someone when you’re not all teenagers. That would go a lot better with 28-year-old men than 15-year-old boys.

Not like I kept an exact count, but I guess I’ve been rejected by a woman 3,000-5,000 times in my life. And had maybe ~100 successes (got the number, got a date, had sex, whatever). Let’s say 4,000 approaches in whatever form with 100 successes. So that’s a 2.5% success rate. I think that’s actually probably better than average, where it’s more like ~1%. That’s because I am extremely verbally fluent and that gives me an advantage.

But still, 2.5%! That’s not great. And that comes with a lot of danger of reputational damage and women who attempt to ruin your life for merely asking them out.

Women don’t know shit about rejection.
