Argh! This kills me inside.

It's the same with asking someone out.
The worst that can happen is they say no, and if they make such a big stink out of it you were better off with someone else in the first place because they are douchebags.
- drewrv 15y agoMakes me wonder if maybe men get better at asking for raises,and dealing with potential rejection, because they often are the ones who ask women out.

- phillmv 15y agoNo. I think it's a good analogy, but the correlation stops there – I think I've asked a sum total of two girls out in my life. There are ample opportunities for women to get rejected as well. My theory goes that men as a rule of thumb have more opportunities to get into LOUD OBNOXIOUS arguments with someone who is SO WRONG that you can't let it stand. Somewhere in that process you learn to push a few boundaries. We're just conditioned to be/are naturally more aggressive.
