I don’t know. I raised 3 white boys and they are all in very healthy relationships.

Too many excuses! Get over it already

Who are these men who are terrified? is this a label that is hiding something else? What percent are we taking about here? I am willing to bet that if they are “terrified” about being rejected, there are many other things that are terrifying to them. Like waiter please, this is not what I ordered or this is medium instead of rare. Or letting your auto dealer know that the last time, the put to much oil in the engine and the specs says….

"A large number of my clinical clients, but also young men I've talked to in general, are absolutely terrified of women because they're terrified of being rejected."

This stems from a lack of self-confidence and self worth. A confident, prized man doesn't feel this way, he carries himself with confidence, and attracts females in his stride. Women pick up on a man's aura. A man need never to be terrified of rejection. What a man lacks in looks, he can always make up for by way of finances, leadership, confidence, and character.

Pretty sure this entire piece was lifted from Jordan Peterson.

Some cliches, justifications and an offer to get premium teachings for free. Hrm, professional competition I like and value. But: You can also learn all that for free from a genderbending queer witch, right here who tries to get back into the habit of teaching while looking for a job. BTW, how does the age restriction thing work in here?

I’ll let you in on a little secret. What I see in everyone — men, women, all of us — is that deep down we’re just looking for connection. To feel wanted. To feel loved. To feel like we’re the one for someone.

But the journey to find that can be rough. Rejection knocks you down. Sometimes it kicks you while you’re down.

Some people manage to get back up. Others feel lost.

And honestly, I think that’s something both men and women go through. It’s human.
