Woman Says a Man Tried to Hit on Her, Then, When She Rejected His Advances, He Said He Wasn’t Interested: ‘That Was the Funniest Thing’
He did not handle that well.
A woman from Southern California is telling a story a lot of people would be able to relate to, well, if not all, at least a part of it. Ash (@queenbaard) uploaded a TikTok video speaking about the time a man approached her at a bar and hit on her, but when she said that she wasn’t interested, he said that he wasn’t either.
“He got so offended,” Ash said, before noting that the man told her that he was just “trying to be nice” and that he would never “get with” her because she was “ugly.” He allegedly also said he thought it would be funny if Ash reciprocated his advances, then turned her down.
Ash said she started laughing at the man’s face after listening to this. Other people around them also apparently started to notice what was going on, and at some point, the bartender joined in on the laughter.
“They Cannot Handle Rejection”
Ash continued her story, mentioning that the man “walked out on his tab” and left his credit card behind. Ash let out a loud laugh after revealing this information (an “evil laughter,” if you may) and then said, “Men are so weak, so simple. I think about that sometimes.”
In the concluding few seconds of her video, she emphasized how her behavior as a lesbian woman contrasted that of the man, stressing that she handled rejection in a very different manner. She said that when a woman turned her down, unlike the man, she didn’t tell them that she wasn’t interested in them, but rather acknowledged that everyone else also was because they were “hot.”
This isn’t the first time someone has been mistaken for a straight woman despite not being one. A woman was notably put on a no-fly list for being intimate with a man, despite being attracted to women. People in the comments section of Ash’s post seem to have had similar experience like hers. One user wrote, “Happens all the time they cannot handle rejection.”
Another user said, “Some guy one time hit me up at a gas station and when I turned him down, he immediately started cussing me out, and I was like you good bro?” Yet another commented, “this happened to me and then after he was done insulting me, one of his friends tried to save face by being like “oh we don’t really know him, come over to our house please” ??? like was that a pickup tactic idk about?”
A Reddit Thread Discusses Whether Women Handle Rejection Worse Than Men
A Reddit user asked commenters whether they thought women handled rejection worse than men, and many people responded. One user wrote, “Depends on the type of rejection tbf. But in dating I would say yes they handle it worse. And the reason is simple some women have never been rejected because they aren’t the one the make the move. If you have no experience with it you tend to handle it worse,” while adding that he was generalizing to a certain extent and believed individual experiences varied.
Another user echoed similar sentiments and wrote, “Men face rejection on a regular basis, in many aspects of life. Women don’t face this same type of rejection. I’m speaking in broad strokes that aren’t representative of everyone experience.” A few others noted that the question wasn’t an easy one to answer and that several factors needed to be considered. For instance, one user commented, saying, “This isn’t a contest. It depends on the individual. Some men and women can be entitled insecure people with Fragile egos.”
Much like the commenters under this Reddit thread, Ash also didn’t hold back in her criticism of the man who approached her. Through her repeated gestures, she made it very clear that she wasn’t having any of it and found it funny that the man was offended after she rejected him. That said, it’s a common experience for women, and while things took an unexpected turn in Ash’s case, the circumstances for a Georgia woman were a bit more scary.
