David M. Buss
“An impersonal sexual orientation, which is typically associated with desires for a relatively large number of sexual partners, creates a high likelihood of rejection experiences… A relatively heightened sensitivity to rejection may lead to a subjective perception of frequent rejections irrespective of the objective reality.”
― David M. Buss, Sex, Power, Conflict: Evolutionary and Feminist Perspectives
