      I don’t have to be a woman to know that men generally don’t respond like that. This is silly.

      I’ve never seen a man respond like that to being rejected, ever.

        Do many men hit on you? Are you smaller than them? If not, that could be why you don’t see it happen.

        Of course most men don’t respond this way. But of those people who respond this way, most are men.

            Probably so, I agree most men probably don’t reply like the comic but it’s not uncommon, I don’t think the artist was trying say it’s always like that but just something women worry about

        This is so common. We don’t really tend to discuss it really cause it kind of harsh to be public about rejections, but it happens a lot.

        I had a guy ask me out a few years ago, I really delicately explained I wasn’t interested, and he took it really well and we had a hug. I told everyone about that for years because of how surprising it was.
