I've noticed women generally handle rejection worst than men. Not just in dating... but in general. This was brought to my attention again when I finally met up with this woman I had picked up last week for coffee yestersday.
We met at a coffee shop in Downtown DC. After chatting for a few minutes she said she was hungry and wanted to go to a restaurant. I declined but she insisted:
Her: "But I'm really hungry. I don't see why we can't go to a nice restaurant"
Me: "Well if you're that hungry my apartment is only a few stops away on the subway. I'll cook some food for us."
Her: "Wow...haha so I'm like a cheap date huh?"
Me: "No.. I paid good money for the food in my apartment".
Her: Come OONN.. lets just go to a restaurant.. It'll be fun. I heard Matchbox has great food. Its not far from here."
Me: You know what? I'm not really feeling the attraction. I'm sorry, but I think I'll get going.
Her: Oh..Yeah.. you're too broke to take me to a restaurant aren't you? Great another broke loser...
Me: Not at all. I just treat my wallet like lost women treat their legs: I only open it when someone demonstrates value.
Her: You're a pig! I'm leaving. Don't call me!
And off she goes. A little dramatic don't you think? And its not the first time.
On my end there are many many.. instances where a woman will flat out refuse to go a long with something I want. But when its reversed.. it seems a lot of women can't take NO for an answer.
