Is it hard for a man to say No?

...to a woman who is hitting on him if he really is not wanting to get involved or is not interested?

I think women have a lot more experience than men at saying no.

As a man, how would you say no, or would you?

Would you say yes to anyone who really tempted you?

I can't speak from a man's perspective but I can tell you from my experience; men have no problem saying no to me. laugh

Yes. It's not easy to bluntly say no if that person is kind of a colleague or perhaps belong to a group you're part of. Though you are not willing to commit with such person you would also not want to hurt her feelings.

Good question Jennie!!..Can't speak for the guys, but I bet many of them have the same feelings we women have when it come to saying no...We don't want to hurt their feelings, but we know sooner is better than later in terms of protecting their egos and their hearts...I can't prove it, but I believe more men than women would wait till after they got laid to say it....Running for cover now....

There are indeed women I would say no to and have said no to.

I am not so loved starved that I would Love the one I am with....



Like this is supposed to be sexually appealing to me how?


Will I be provided a barf bucket or just aim for the floor?

I've always been pretty good at relenting to temptation.

If I'm hanging out with a girl... and we end up back at her place... and I'm really not interested in having sex with her, at least right then, I usually make up an excuse that sounds legitimate.

Usually when a guy says "I didn't want to hurt her feelings" it usually means that he didn't want to feel lousy himself. But honestly, sometimes it's just better to allude to disinterest than to come right out and say, "Let's not ~~~~."

No, if a man is not attracted to the Woman, he can say NO in a minute!!
Men have Morals too. And Many have to be attracted to a woman to even have sex. laugh

Here is a suggestion to men who find themselves in an awkward situation with a woman he wants to say "no" to.

Women are always ranting that they want a man to be honest and truthful.

Do that. Start by asking, "Can I be perfectly honest with you?"

Of course she will probably say "yes."

Then proceed to be honest. Tell her why you don't want to have sex with her or go out with her or hook up with her or whatever.

Some Examples:

I'm happily married, so I will have to decline.

I am in a committed relationship, so no thanks.

I am gay, so it ain't gonna happen.

I'm sorry, I'm just not interested.

I don't feel an attraction to you.

No thanks, you look like trouble to me.

No thanks, I've heard you are a stalker and a psycho. (:wink: )

I had to say it last month to an ex g/f; it was difficult because I did and do still care for her, but don't want to be with her like that anymore.

She would hug me and I would just stand there, she put my hands on her hips and I just left them there; turn my head away in case she tried to kiss me. Later she texted me if she still makes me happy, I told her not really, she makes me sad. She called several times to tell me she is in a better place and happy now and that she won't make me sad anymore. I didn't respond to those messages

This is not saying "no." It is merely presenting a challenge. Playing hard to get is a challenge for some women. She may come at you with new tools and weapons now...

Be warned.... practice a firm NO. Practice "Hell no."

Be prepared for a sneak attack.

And there is my personal favorite...

You are everything I don't want in a woman,

But also there is,

You are 100 of the only people I don't want to be around!

and,

I don't associate myself to people who are beneath me.

of course the best ones are the ones turned against women themselves like,

I just ain't into you,

and,

No just mean's no! You do nothing for me...

Like I owe anyone an explanation... Cold and to the point, just like women, no explanation. Just cold Pizza!

But There has been two times I can remember telling a woman having sex with her would be like me having sex with my sister. And at least three or four times I had to say I didn't want to go to prison!

We all have boundaries. Some times it is nice to be polite, especially when there is no spark or have other commitments. I know that is not my favorite phrase to hear when expressing interest. Heck, I'm getting old enough to expect and honor any reply. things do get better with age.

Can I be perfectly honest with you?....:tongue:

Seriously, I have experienced that when I do say "no" it not feels like I am the bad guy. The majority of women I say no to make me out to be that. Sure, it's due to hurting their feelings, but it also makes a man not want to be the "bad guy". Ugh! Decisions....decisions.
