It just depends on how you’re framing it, honestly. It’s much more obvious when people are frustrated about rejection rather than… not going on a date. Besides, this isn’t really a gendered issue. Young people are less interested in dating. Getting rejected is generally nothing truly personal, however it’s very clear and a turn-off when people act as if there is some ulterior motive or socio/psychological reason
You can vent but lowkey why are you doing it to us. Women are fed up bc guys are constantly making it our problem. It’s different if it’s a close female friend ig, lowkey in that situation she should be a bit more sympathetic. But most of the time when men complain about being lonely they end up blaming women and if just gets exhausting to hear about
There’s just a huge difference between “man, I shot my shot and it didn’t work, I’ll keep looking for someone who is interested in a relationship with me, because that’s what I want” rather than turning to “all women are the same, nobody wants a real relationship, men don’t want to ask women out because they always say no” stuff. Not saying you did, but wanting a relationship is different than pursuing one optimistically
