    We don’t actually know the rejection rate, I think. We can infer, but we don’t know who said what to who, or how, or when. Of course we can see marriage rates and relationship rates if we have survey data, but that is different. For example, as men earn less, they may have less chances to meet women or even think of dating or marriage, so the rejection rate might not be a useful figure.

      The sense I got was that it’s about perception, not necessarily absolute figures. And I’m sure the sting just compounds with everything else they’re struggling with.
