"BUT WHAT ABOUT MEN?!?!?"
Yes, by not explicitly stating that some men also have this problem, I implicitly meant that this was a women-only issue. You're one of the few who managed to see through my subtle deception, bravo.
This is the internet, someone absolutely would do exactly that.
I actually took the bait lol, all good.
It kinda is. Obviously it doesn't start that way, rejection is naturally unpleasant for everyone, but culturally, men are expected to initiate courtship. Unless you're an absolutely gorgeous man, your romantic experience will almost certainly involve at least a few rejections.
The average adult man generally has enough experience with rejection to be somewhat desensitized, while the average adult woman has quite possibly never actually asked anyone out, much less been rejected.
