Dont be sorry, I'm not. Not all of life's lessons are meant to be fun, easy, or pain free. That just is what it is.

I've never not acknowledged that getting rejected is not fun. It sucks.

Here's what I refuse about the rejection narrative:

1. Women can't understand what it's like to be rejected bexause we never get rejected. Try being a teenage girl the come talk to me.
2. It's the end of the world. It's not fate of the multiverse level drama. It's normal, every day drama.
3. Women are gatekeepers keeping you men from sex and love by rejecting you. We don't exactly lie awake at night plotting your demise. Better things to do.
4. Women get off on rejecting men. Does she really look like she's getting off to you while she's cringing away from the awkward encounter?
5. The rejection is unwarranted because "you're a nice guy". I refer you again to how offputting it is to be on the receiving end to random person come up to you and hit on you.

Stuff like that. That's what I disagree with. You men are not the only ones in these interactions and they're not something that was done to you. It's something that you chose to do and pursue in a way that WILL fail. You men continue making the same choice and blame women for that choice you're repeatedly making.

No. I don't date women. I wish. But I am, sadly, heterosexual. I keep hoping my sexuality will shift becuse women supposedly have a more fluid sexuality. Nothing yet, but keep your fingers crossed, yeah? If conversion therapy actually worked, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Throw it in reverse.

Some guy asked me out this morning. Didn't even ask my name or introduce himself again. He was salvaging some equipment out of a dumpster at a build site and asked me.ifnincoukd help him load up his car. I gave him a hand. He asked me what I was doing. I told him I was on my way to work. He said he'd drive me if it wasn't too far and if I'd go out with him.

And that was it. I have no idea if he meant a real date or if this was code for "I'll give you a ride to work if it's not too inconvenient in exchange for a blow job."

Honestly, how would you know.

But he's a nice guy who's just lonely.
