I blame romance movies and novels and such. It’s such utter bullshit, how the stereotypical storyline is that she rejects him at first and then he’s just really desperate persistent and then she eventually softens up and they’re married ever after.
Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand.
But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting. They want to have a partner they actually find attractive themselves, not just any partner who finds them attractive enough to persist through humiliation.
Some men take rejections seriously. If you blow them off then they move on. In some cases men find it really hurts because they know they’ll be good together.
Can we go back to when no Tinder, no social media to carry out these “modern” romance practice please? No more stupid romance movies. And please every country pass a law to put a disclaimer on Jane Austen’s books, saying “This romance story never happened.”

I blame them too.
The stereotype need to die.

“Some” is doing a lot of work in that statement.
Yeah, I met maybe 2½ in my lifetime.
