Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You're not a woman I'm guessing
I don't have to be a woman to know that men generally don't respond like that. This is silly.
I've never seen a man respond like that to being rejected, ever.
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.
Men don't. Boys do. All the fucking time.
That's absolutely disgusting behavior. Maybe I've been lucky with the people around me.
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
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.
