One thing that’s weird about being a man is that you get rejected constantly, so you expect it. But perhaps the strangest thing about being a man is that most men get rejected fairly regularly by women they have expressed absolutely no romantic interest in of any kind and aren’t even attracted to.

What is that, preemptive rejection? I don’t think most women know how often that occurs, even though they are the ones perpetrating it. Is telling men “no” who are not interested in you at all just some sort of fun game? I don’t get it.
