The following is an analogy of how men often handle rejection from the opposite sex vs. how women tend to handle it:

Men want respect, loyalty, honesty, and regular sex with constantly new twists. Women want provision, protection, and commitment, with sex being the reward that is given to a man for providing all of the above. Sex is the original currency, long before money ever existed. So a lonely woman is like a business owner who sits at the counter with the doors wide open, and wonders why nobody will enter. A lonely man is like a customer who sees the top shelf product but can never afford it. The female will put whatever signs necessary into her front windows to draw customers in, even if they distort the true product inside. What matters is making that deal, earning that profit, and locking that contract. The man will dress appealingly, save whatever money he has, and use his best negotiation skills to convince her to sell him the product at a discount price and allow him to break out of the deal and go elsewhere if he's not satisfied (standard business practice from both sides). So she views the customers who never come in as stupid, rigid, and afraid because they should be "smart enough" to deal with her but they aren't. He views the business as a lying, cheating, and greedy entity that is only interested in what he can give them. If he can find a way to live without buying her product, he'll either go elsewhere or never do business again.
