If you do not need validation from another human being, methinks there is not such a big problem. Not everyone is going to like you. And vice versa. Life is too short to worry it. words of wisdom there! Huzzah! If it bothers me that much, I go out and harass the horses in the pasture. They like me. |

I'm an acquired taste, and often a bitter pill to swallow....so it's a rare day in hell that someone even approaches me with interest.  love this and I agree w/ emo chick too I think if u are totally true to yourself, you may risk rejection because the emphasis will not be on pleasing the "other" or shallow motives, but on what you need from all of this and in the beginning I think that is best |

Well, I tried death threats by gnomes, but that got me into trouble with the local law enforcement. Apparently, gnomes are viewed as "bad". Death threats? It's all the rage these days.....just not via gnomes.

When I was young (and hot) I just figured the guy was gay.

How do you handle rejection, whether from a initial contact with a potential interest or a relationship? What's the best approach? I would lie if i said it doesnt bother me but i hide it very well. I get really hurt and sad depending on the situation but i just accept it and move on. |

Makes it easier if you really could care less what other people think of you. Either they like me or don't. Not my problem. I refuse to change to suit other people.

God I remember the first breakup I had. Man, that devestated me. I was 15, and really liked this chick. And then she broke my heart. As a dude, you don't cry. Or so the world says. But I know I did. Lol. It hurt. It stung. Being on the end of a rejection hurts bad. Hell. It hurts when you reject someone. I know it does me.
Anyways, even though I am older, one thing never changes. Being rejected hurts like a mutha. If it doesn't hurt you in some way, then you simply aint human. |

I think the very vocal and straighforward rejections are kinda sexy...I get emboldened by them.
I don't like the quiet ones though..when I have to use pliers to pull out what's going on... "hmm eh hmmm...I dunno...hmmm hmm" - that bothers me.

Try to remain optimistic, if you feel a sad mood coming on try to talk to someone close to you. This helps me sometimes. Otherwise do whatever you can to distract yourself....... Imagine how good you will feel when you meet the next true love, hopefully it will be your last then you don't have to feel miserable again.

I'm an acquired taste, and often a bitter pill to swallow....so it's a rare day in hell that someone even approaches me with interest. If we lived close enough, I would. Ha!! Excuses, excuses. There is a fair maid, and she is need of you. Hop on that bus, Guss, and fly over. I think this babe is worth it. If a man can do it, he ought not to stop himself, and in today's world distance, jobs, family, or even already having a wife ought to be no excuse. Errr...it ain't that simple....Mister... Firstly....you best be EXACTLY who you represent yourself to be...or the rather rude awakening might hurt... Secondly...who says I am in need of anything? ...and wife ditching is NOT going to win anyone ANY favours! Arm... I mean, erm... I can't represent myself. Represent: do a show or appearance for someone, or something, or some ideal or concept, like in the house of commons or the congress, where the delegate or elected guy or gal represents a whole bunch of people and their interests in a geographic area. If I represent myself truly, then I am BEING myself. That is not a representation. Only if I misrepresent myself can I be representing myself; because then I am truly acting or being present on behalf of someone who is not me (that is, not the true me). This is a bit confusing. Try to think of a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is representing a metaphor. If a wolf showed up in wolf's clothing, he would not be representing anything or anyone any more. In human terms we call that "fashion-make-up". ---- I hope I made myself clear. |

What the heck is anyone with a wife doing talking to people on here, looking for a partner, fine if you are just here talking to friends, But honestly if someone ditched their wife for me, I would be waiting for him to ditfh me for his next love.. Noway Hozay... |

Hmmm forgot to answer the question.
I have always just laughed when someone rejects me, its either that or cry, so laughing is much easier.. But if my man rejected me now ...What would I do.. Hmmmm, I guess he would probably have to get used to just having 2 legs  , as the middle one would be removed..Slowly and painfully.

I always wondered: What do women do with that part that they remove? Do they have further use out of it? If not, what is the fate of the part later down the road? - party balloon? - screw driver? - cigar prop for movies? - rear-view mirror hang-decoration for Camaros? What? |

A bit off topic, but for the record, as it has become necessary it seems, to spell this out.
- I am not married. - I have never been married. - I had had a steady girlfriend for nine years once, she got married then, then we did not see each other, then after she became a widow, we resumed the relationship, but it was rocky and on-and-off (sexual relationships are always on-and-off, if you get my drift), then we became better and better friends, and now, about thirty years after we first met (29 to be exact), we see each other on our birthdays only, and no more sex whatsoever, coz she's 80 and has become physically incapable. - I have my own health problems. - I have not: been on a date in the last four years, seen a naked woman in the last six years, and been in a relationship in the last eleven or twelve years. - I can back this up. |

Its been 12 years for me. I'm practically a virgin.
