And for the women out there - how many of these have you used? My guess is pretty damn close to all 10!

Top 10 Rejection Lines Given By Women (and what they actually mean)

10. I think of you as a brother.
(You remind me of that inbred banjo-playing geek in "Deliverance.")

9. There's a slight difference in our ages.
(You are one jurassic geezer.)

8. I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
(You are the ugliest dork I've ever laid eyes upon.)

7. My life is too complicated right now.
(I don't want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone
calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.)

6. I've got a boyfriend
(who's really my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's).

5. I don't date men where I work.
(Hey, bud, I wouldn't even date you if you were in the same 'solar system',
much less the same building.)

4. It's not you, it's me.
(It's not me, it's you.) --- MY COMMENT HERE - 100% TRUE! and women KNOW IT!

3. I'm concentrating on my career.
(Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.)

2. I'm celibate.
(I've sworn off only the men like you.)

...and the number 1 rejection line given by women (and what it actually means)

1. Let's be friends.
(I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about
all the other men I meet and have sex with. It's that male perspective thing)

I dont know why women feel the need to be so nice when a guy is hitting on them. All we hear is the rejection, so you might as well just say "NO", because if we dont hear "yes" everything else is useless. I have never felt better about myself after being rejected and thinking......Man if we only worked at seperate places thing would have worked out.

well Ace, most guys need you to spare their ego. Those type dont even hear the rejection in what you are saying. Then, there are the really nice guys whose feelings you dont want to hurt for the world but you dont want to lead them on for too long. So you let them down really gently.
Guys do the same thing if you think about. You wouldnt tell the fat girl with the great personality that you cant have a relationship with her because she is too big.
Or the old chick with no teeth that pinches your butt, you may be embarrasseed as hell but you would find a nice way to let her know that her advances are not appreciated.
Its all a matter of simple manners and upbringing. Most people are just brought up to consider peoples feelings.

I agree with you when it comes to letting girls down, but I just do not thing it neccasary for a woman to be so sensitive to a guy. We are use to rejection. I am not ashamed to say it, when I am single, I get turned down almost every night I go out. It does not bother me anymore. I have found my greatest success in approaching the most beautiful women in the place, because they are caught off guard and not use to it. Dont get me wrong I dont go up to them and ask them to go home with me, but I offer to buy them a drink or ask them to dance or whatever, but w/out the rejection, the "game" would be no fun at all.

Let me ask this......What is the real meaning behind this statement..... "I know I dont have my ring on, but I am married.".........I got that one not to long ago and was blown away by it. I mean why would you take your ring off and then go out? It was obvious that she was completly blowing me off and that is the only time I can remember in a long time a rejection getting into my head. I just kept thinking, OK she is married, but obviously looking to hook up, but just not with me. Then I was like, well I guess she isnt married, but wanted to blow me off. Either way, I was definitly thrown for a loop.

Well.. this is my top 5.

I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
(You are the ugliest dork I've ever laid eyes upon.)

I have a man in my life and he is VERY jealous.
(who's really Benito, my male cat).

I'm celibate.
(I've sworn off only the men like you.)

It's not you, it's me.
(It's not me, it's you. Where you REALLY expecting me to date a guy like you??)

My life is too complicated right now.
(don't want you spending the whole night or hear phone calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.)

Those are good ones Bite. except for the celibate one i never tried that. The absolute best one was used when i was having a particularly bad day and this annoying guy kept trying to get my name and number. With the straightest face possible i told him ""My name is Claire, it used to be Cody before the surgery." The look on his face was priceless.

"I know I dont have my ring on, but I am married.".........thats a good one. -----just a mean way of telling you have no chance---EVER. You know how some rejections leave guys w/ that little sliver of hope(i.e. I am not looking for a relationship RIGHT NOW). Well that is telling you that she is off the market for good, as far as you are concerned.

a few years back this cashier at the Ralphs store i always shop at was giving me EVERY sign she ws interested in me. i mentioned i went to fullerton for my mba - so she asked every now and then how i was doing. she also did one of the biggest signs a woman is interested in you - she laughed at a lot of the stuff i said that wasn't remotely funny.

i took this as a sign she was interested in me - but didn't want to ask me out. so i asked her out. by dumb luck i got to the store just as she was, too. so i figured THIS was the PERFECT chance to ask her out - and i did.

i wanted to hear "Yes" but i could have accpeted "NO"

instead what i got was "I'll Pass"

to me - that means:

If you were the last guy on the face of the earth i'd do a complete scouring of the planet and if you really WERE the only guy on the planet i MIGHT consider it - assuming nothing good is on TV that night, my hair doesn't need to be washed or my cat isn't acting strange"

So, women of The Rx, what does "I'll Pass" mean when you say it to a guy?

We really don't need the elaborate stories, just a simple, I'm not interested or no will do. Like already stated, we are use to it.

ive never rejected a guy in a hurtfull way. in every case im out with my friends and when im approached i will ALWAYS get on the dance floor with anyone who askes. but if im not interested i always say im with a private party for the evening and it would be rude to leave it,but i come here alot so maybe next time .ive never gotten the feeling someone left really hurt.

you have NO worries about me ever asking you out on the dance floor. if i ever ask you - or any other woman - out on the dance floor - it would only be because my BAC is about 0.40 - at least and since i rarely drink - NO CHANCE of that. the reason is i am very light on my feet - but heavy on my partner's because odds are damn good i am standing on her feet and since i am 185 pounds - and most women aren't anywhere near that - it won't take long for her to howl in pain more than if she put a hand on a hot stove
