Rejection

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

It's not nice when you receive rejection but sometimes you just gotta brush your shoulders off and and get on with it. Me and my mate went to Southport went to a nightclub which for apparently for two 33yr old men it's uncommon.

So a long story but I'll try and keep it short, my mate is on these tablets because he is suffering with anxiety and they sort of boost up his confidence so to speak so he went up to this girl waved at her and before he could even say anything she got her hand and pointed at his stomach and also then pointed at her ear and it was like your fat and I can't hear you

So of course I felt really bad for him because on the way home it was him who is driving so there's me knocking budweisers and desperados down me and he was driving with Coca-Cola in his hand he literally felt so down on the way home it was like how some people can be so cruel.

Anyway that Simon's rant of the day people can be so cruel and there must be an easier way to let someone down instead of fat shaming them full stop the worst thing is we are not even that chubby what I think I'm 15 stone 7 but I'm 6-ft 1

I think OP is focussing on the rudeness and harshness of communication rather than rejection itself.

Also, dressing it up as incompatibility is a bit of a stretch, as it sounds as though the lady in question didn’t share a single word with him, so pretty hard for her to have established that they were incompatible.

Night clubs are a very superficial environment, if you go with some mates and have a laugh and a good night, great, but if you’re going to go home devastated because a mean girl wouldn’t talk to you or dance with you, then definitely not the right environment for a night out.

Maybe stop approaching random women in nightclubs. If they wanted interaction with you they would ask or initiate.

It would save her from having to make up a reason to not talk to you (or your friend), and save you from the embarrassment of rejection. A win-win.

I don't have to speak to someone to know if I am attracted to them, or not... Why do you think talkung would be needed?

What so now men aren’t allowed to talk to anyone unless they’re prompted? Fuck off mate. Talk to who you want when you want and if they don’t want the attention then they’ll tell you albeit rudely seems to be acceptable these days.

True. But no harm in people being a bit nicer. A smile and a “no thanks” isn’t that hard really.

But I’m finding it hard to accept that a bloke has gone home upset because a girl was mean to him in a nightclub.

It can suck, but there are too many variables at play to take it personally. She may have had the ‘mother of all shit days’ and we’ve all said/done something unfair when pissed off. You just don’t know.

I meant for him to start viewing it as Incompatability not as a rejection, start positive thinking rather than stay in negative thinking.

I think she was rude personally. She obviously knew she wasn't attracted to him and that's totally fine, but to point at his stomach like that is really unkind and clearly crushed his confidence. She could have just smiled but shaken her head if it was really loud.

Yes, never talk to women ever, EVER, you hear me, men leave women alone, unless and I repeat unless they talk to you first and even then tell them how grateful you are that they acknowledged your existence. Men know your limits.

The thing is I know at this current time I am a little bit overweight I need to trim down a little bit before I start putting myself back out there. For my friend he just went in for the kill no pun intended. And for him to stand there and for her to point at his stomach it's like you're basically calling him fat. I just found it very rude for someone to do that

The key word there is compatibility.

Yes, you can decide from the far end of the nightclub that you do/don’t fancy someone. But that has nothing to do with compatibility. To determine whether you are compatible with someone you would need to know some information about them, get to know them.

Hence me saying that it’s a bit of a stretch to say that instant rejection is down to lack of compatibility. It sounds much more straightforward, that she didn’t like fat blokes and from a brief assessment had quickly concluded that OP’s mate was a fat bloke

Yeah, that’s pretty rude of her alright.

But when you say he has gone “in for the kill”, what exactly had he said / done?

This happened to me nearly all the time when I was a lot younger.

The problem is that after a while of the similar occurences confidence goes and then you just give up and feel bad about yourself. Downward spiral to low self esteme etc.

Yes - a single instance you brush it off but if that is all ever happens he could just eventually give up.

We all have feelings, guys are not supposed to show their's which just makes matters worse!

Looking from a different angle, he is better off without her if She has an attitude like that towards him, shallow and self centred. A smile and no thanks would have been far politer in the first instance. Fair enough if he wouldn't take no for an answer, but that was just plain rude of her if he was being genuine and respectful towards her.

Conclusion as others have mentioned: nightclubs really the wrong place. Be nice and smile at girls in normal life and hopefully He'll find one that smiles back!

When you realise that women are on high alert constantly, especially in those situations, you wouldn't take it so personally. She may have clocked you and him a while before and had already decided to stop any interaction before it began.

You and your friend seem to use alcohol as a crutch.

Lastly, women have stopped being nice in order not to be abused in some way, get used to it.

Good point. Seems quite possible that she wasn’t pointing at his stomach, but was pointing at his cock and asking him to put it in her ear.

I get all that, and she may have been bored, turning down the 20th bloke of the night who had “gone in for the kill”, as OP put it, but a smile and a clear “no thanks” does the trick.

And this is why nightclubs are the most dreadful of all places to meet someone. Loud music, alcohol, communication problems, etc.

Plus you don't know if the other people there are there to hang out with their friends and just have a dance.

Frankly there are far better places to socialise, where you can actually talk to someone if you wish.

All true. Also, when OP describes the initial interaction as “going in for the kill”, it sounds as though the lads thought that picking up birds would be a bit of a formality.

Very true, the details are pretty sketchy, and the “going in for the kill” comment doesn’t paint the best of pictures of how the lads were behaving ... I am imagining 2 blokes in their mid-30’s doing a map of a nightclub full of much younger girls, and being seen a mile off by the girl in question.

I did ask OP for a more detail but he seems to have gone quiet, moved to a different thread looking for assurance that he isn’t fat.

We are not someone who scouts for the young girls I've always said that I prefer women to be older than me

All clear enough. But you are the one who described your mate as “going in for the kill” ... didn’t say “said hi to a girl” or “offered to buy a drink for a girl” or anything like that, but “went in for the kill”. Doesn’t really sound like a couple of mates out for a pint to catch up snd have a laugh.

So quite likely that the girl saw your mate a mile off and gave an immediate red card to save time.

Was she the first girl he had tried going in for the kill with? Or had he already tried his luck with other girls?

"When you realise that women are on high alert constantly, especially in those situations, you wouldn't take it so personally. She may have clocked you and him a while before and had already decided to stop any interaction before it began.

You and your friend seem to use alcohol as a crutch.

Lastly, women have stopped being nice in order not to be abused in some way, get used to it.

I get all that, and she may have been bored, turning down the 20th bloke of the night who had “gone in for the kill”, as OP put it, but a smile and a clear “no thanks” does the trick. "

No it doesn't, that just encourages more or ends in abuse for the woman.

To end this completely we went into 2 nightclubs and he for at the end of the night that he would see see whether or not he could get a conversation going with a girl I went for a night out not to pull but just have a couple of drinks and leave it at that

"I think she was rude personally. She obviously knew she wasn't attracted to him and that's totally fine, but to point at his stomach like that is really unkind and clearly crushed his confidence. She could have just smiled but shaken her head if it was really loud.

"

Totally! There’s ways to say things and decline an advance from someone.

Imagine if it was the other way round and a guy did the same to me. I’d be devastated x

So rude

I’ve had derogatory comments from guys in pubs and clubs when I was younger without even approaching them - comments about my weight and asking where my boobs were. It’s not nice, I hope you both manage to brush the experience off and not dwell on it any longer

I had to eject a creepy guy from a club the other night. He just wouldn’t get the message as girls were being polite. Grinding on them etc, did a circuit and kept going.

I shoved him away once already. Until there was no other option then to physically remove him from the club. I came back to half the girls mouthing thank you at me. So bare that in mind if a woman rejects you squarely. Just tired of creepy guys.

Ps I’m not a bouncer (anymore at least) but the guys working were all just kids.

"Maybe stop approaching random women in nightclubs. If they wanted interaction with you they would ask or initiate.

It would save her from having to make up a reason to not talk to you (or your friend), and save you from the embarrassment of rejection. A win-win.

What so now men aren’t allowed to talk to anyone unless they’re prompted? Fuck off mate. Talk to who you want when you want and if they don’t want the attention then they’ll tell you albeit rudely seems to be acceptable these days. "

Well, yes. That's exactly what happened. He talked to her, she didn't want the attention and now he's complaining about being rejected. Why is that her fault?

Sounds like he was moaning about the rudeness of the rejection rather than the fact that he was rejected.

Goes with the territory though, if you’re trying your luck in a nightclub you’re hardly going to get a polite letter breaking the news to you gently.
