Men in general don’t, no. I wasn’t saying they did. I was saying that there have always been a percentage who will, and that this is not a new development.
I won’t disagree with that. Of course there are some men who feel entitled to physically attack women for rejecting them. I’ve opined that such monsters are spoiled from childhood and refuse to consider consequences (criminality). At least some of them have each had a parent who enforced their abuses against others.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I never experienced any strong emotion about being rejected for a date or continued, casual dating. There were also “plenty of fish in the sea,” and each had their perceptions and preferences. Can’t imagine any benefit from spending time with someone who doesn’t enjoy the company.
I did say no to sex with more than a few, though. Getting very intimate with acquaintances we don’t know very well can lead to serious troubles. Reminds me of an old, short film, where a man accepted a ride from an attractive woman he didn’t know. She either undressed somewhat or was already in her underwear (can’t remember which). Anyway, for no apparent reason, she drove them off of a shelf road and into a horrible crash. ;-)
