Many feel that tykes are fearful of [rejection] as relationship partners from genetic males and females. They therefore stay in tyke relationships to avoid rejection all together. This of course, leads to low selection of potential partners, and a small town gossip/[rumor mill] among tykes in a given geographic area.
Can also be used as a verb.
