Why Can't Men Take No For An Answer?
By: Omar Cook
I don't know what it is about us men, but for some rejection just doesn't sit right with us. Having a woman turn them down after they just built up enough confidence to say wassup can be a huge shot to their pride, and pride is the downfall for many men. Men are natural born hunters and by nature, women are the prey. Men see what they want and immediately our minds stop working, and we start thinking with the wrong head! The problem is, thinking with the wrong head that's not on your shoulders can get you in trouble! So why can’t men take no for an answer?
For whatever reason, some men have built themselves up to believe that every time they shoot their shot, women are supposed to respond the way they want them to. Confidence is great to have, but a sense of reality and rational is even better. It's 2018, and we're still struggling with dealing with rejection?
Men, there's nothing wrong with going after a woman that you think is fine and beautiful and all that good stuff, but be aware that yes, there is a chance that you will get rejected and you have to be ready to accept that! I've seen too many times where men will try to make on a girl walking by and shoot their shot and get turned down, and as soon as they get rejected, they say things like, "You weren't all that fine anyway" or "Why you acting stuck up?" So because that woman didn't want you, she's stuck up and she's not attractive anymore? If she would have given you the number, you would have been sending her all types of "goodmorning beautiful" texts! Men love to stunt to hide the embarrassment of getting rejected.
A big problem with men shooting their shot, is that we have a tendency to lack true critical thinking skills. If a woman tells you she has a boyfriend, and you reply back, "You can't have friends?", what really do you hope to accomplish by this? If this was your girl, and dudes were trying to get at her, hounding her for her number, would you be okay with her telling you "yeah I just gave some dudes my number today so we can friends"? Or is the thought process just to gather another number so you can add her to your collection. If a woman really gives you her number after telling you she has a man, what makes you think she won't give out her number to another dude after she gets involved with you?
Fellas, it’s okay to take rejection. There’s more than one in this world and there’s one that’s ready to entertain you and your nonsense. Not every woman is for you and it’s okay to accept that. Getting shot down is not the end of the world, and if you have any kind of game, you’re bound to rebound from one missed shot. Don’t stop shooting your shot, but pick your battles and accept that no means no!
