This summer I went back to the U.S. for vacation. I hung out with a couple of my best friends and we all decided to go out clubbing. We decided to do this for our friend who was kinda lonely and was single and looking. So we went to this techno-dance club not far away from where my parent's live in California.

As soon as I walk in there, I realized I was really too old to be clubbing. As I am definitely off the market, I didn't have to worry about any meat-market pressures that come with a night club. But my single best friend did. So he makes his move to the bar.

He sees this superbly hot smokin' blond, who was just utterly stunning beyond belief. She was sitting by herself having a what seemed to be a sex-on-the-beach cocktail, staring emptily at the people dancing out there.

My buddy, failing to make eye contact from afar, goes in to grab her attention:

Buddy: Hey . . .

Girl: Hey . . .

(She said this rather reluctantly.)

Buddy: Would you like dance?

(Already her face began to contort with indignation.)

Girl: With you?? Hell fking no!

Buddy: Well that's not very nice! Listen. You see here's the thing. You see, I am actually gay. And from afar, I honestly thought you were a guy. Shave that upper lip, will ya?

I cannot tell the story well, but you had to have seen it. She gets up from her chair and flips him off and storms out toward the women's restroom. My friend has just ruined her whole night, I thought. I thought that was an amazing rejection comeback (BTW my friend is a metrosexual straight dude).

What are other rejection comebacks you've heard before or have used before? Do tell your story.

Guy: Would you like to dance?

Girl" With you? Hell effing no!

Guy: What?

Girl: I won't dance with you!

Guy: Dance? No, no, no...I said 'You look fat in those pants'.

How about: You shouldn't be so choosy. I wasn't.

A buddy of mine got turned down at a bar. She got up to leave and he yells, "You b***h! You gave my brother herpes!" It just so happened that the music was switching to a different song at that moment and everyone in the bar heard him.


Everyone at the bar looked at him. They then turned their attention to the girl he was staring at. Immediately 2 guys standing closest to the girl jumped backwards creating space. The girl looked at my buddy for a second, with the death stare, yelled a few obscenities his way and walked off.

The funny thing is that he got free drinks from the bartender and the people sitting next to him.

If the rejection was polite, no problem, there's someone else to ask. When the woman sneers at you and yells "With you?? Hell fking no!", then she deserves everything thrown her way. If you can't be civil, don't expect civility in return.

Um.. I hope you were joking about that, because if not it was just a d[i]ck move and not especially clever, nor warranted. The woman had kids and was obviously sick of your goofy 80s rock Van Halen wannabe crap. I imagine you guys probably looked something like this:



To me, you sound like a jackass and a nerd. "huh huh, dig this, man. Like a quarter century ago me and some dudes were rocking out hard and this bloated babe was all killing our buzz. I told her she was fat, and she started crying! haha! Right on man.."

So a hot woman has to spend the night being devastatingly insulted by whoever she doesn't want to get with? I think you call that...sour grapes.

I don't buy that. Hot women always say "We never get asked out because men are intimidated by our looks." And then when a poor fellow has enough grapes to go up to her to dance, she has to shoot them down like they are maggots.

I got a buddy of mine that gets shot down all the time because he has a speech impediment. Some girls will make fun of him as they turn him down. Those are the girls I can't stand.

A simple "Sorry, i'm with someone" can suffice.

Thats true. there are many ways to politely get the message across.

I wish Korean women would realise this. They don't want you to lose face, so they feign interest so as not to hurt you. They string you along, effectively.Then ultimately they just mystifyingly cut commounication dead. Why can't they just say " I'm sorry I'm busy" or something right at the start? so much simpler.

I guess I know how they feel. I'm always maintaining good relations with women who are interested in me even if its not mutual- just for the sake of being nice.

Here's mine with a twist of sorts.

Guy hitting on me. It's clear I want nothing to do with him. He gets even more annoying. I very plainly tell him to get on a boat to f***-offityland.

"You're a biatch" he says looking smug thinking he's just dropped the bomb on me and I'm going to get all horrified, crumble, and cry.

"No I'm not" I say leaning closer to his face "I'm a f***ing biatch!"

He sure wasn't expecting that Very Happy

Thats good Laughing

if a guy ignores the vibe and persists then he is setting himslef up for a humiliation, as I see it.

problem is Korean women don't give the same easily-recogniseable signals that western women do.
