Being on the interviewing side is a lot easier emotionally than being the applicant. Being the applicant is the way a lot of men feel about trying for a relationship in our culture because of the expectation that the man take the initiative.

Women go through a lot of crap in our culture, things that wound and hurt, that doesn't mean men don't get a share of hurt sometimes too.

Would you want your children to come to you for emotional support if they were feeling a deep sense of rejection?
