The male ego is fragile.

Since men do the approaching, they are constantly exposing themselves to rejection.

When a man is rejected, it compels him to question his level of physical attractiveness.

When he has a mom and other doting family members that have told him his entire life that he is handsome, it is really hard for him to accept rejection from a girl.

It puts into question all the nice things he has been told about his physical looks over the course of his whole life.

He is so caught up in this negative hit to his male ego; he isn’t considering the possibility that her rejection had nothing to do with his physical looks.

You, and many a girl, have rejected men for a number of reasons.

Yes, there have been moments where you have rejected men because you didn’t find them to be your physical type.

But sometimes a girl rejects a guy based on where she is in life in terms of a lack of time to date, a lack of emotional availability, or being already taken.

Sadly, most guys who are rejected by a girl don’t think about these valid possibilities.

He gets too caught up in what he experiences on the surface, as he is more focused on the superficial aspects of rejection than the possibility of there being more personal reasons for a rejection from a girl that have nothing to do with his physical looks.

Narcissism can play a role in man’s inability to accept rejection.

Just as a man who considers a rejection from a girl as a negative hit to his male ego, a narcissist has the same sentiment but takes it further.

Instead of solely a negative hit to his male ego, he sees a rejection from you as an assault on his entire persona.

Since a narcissist is characterized by a sole obsession with oneself and an overwhelming desire to be admired and adored by others, he would see a rejection from you as an assault on everything he believes himself to be.

Not only have you gut-punched his male ego, but you are also sending a message that his whole aura and persona are not worthy of your attention.

A narcissist doesn’t like this.

Whereas a man who is primarily experiencing a negative hit to his male ego when you reject him persists for a little longer to change your mind by trying to seduce you with compliments and one-liners, a narcissist becomes downright rude and unrelenting in his rebuttal.

Instead of attempting to change your mind through seduction, a narcissist tries to make you feel as though you are much smaller than him and not worthy of his adulation, even though he was the one who just attempted to get you to talk to him in the first place.

When a narcissist doesn’t accept a rejection from a girl, he does everything in his power to put her down with his ensuing harsh and vituperative words so that he can reclaim his pride and nullify the rejection.

Since the majority of guys thankfully aren’t narcissists, it is more so the gut-punch to their male ego that compels them to not accept a rejection at face value and try to convince the girl to change her mind.
