      As a man, I’ve rejected a man and was sexually assaulted. I guarantee you plenty of women have had experiences like this comic.

          Probably so, I agree most men probably don’t reply like the comic but it’s not uncommon, I don’t think the artist was trying say it’s always like that but just something women worry about

      Do many men hit on you? Are you smaller than them? If not, that could be why you don’t see it happen.

      Of course most men don’t respond this way. But of those people who respond this way, most are men.

      This is so common. We don’t really tend to discuss it really cause it kind of harsh to be public about rejections, but it happens a lot.

      I had a guy ask me out a few years ago, I really delicately explained I wasn’t interested, and he took it really well and we had a hug. I told everyone about that for years because of how surprising it was.
