Metro is the biggest playa on SF, for sure. If not on SF, definitely in NYC..

Rejection only hurts if I genuinely liked her, and not just wanted ass.

So the key is to act like a sociopath?

Bingo.

It it doesn't bother you, you're missing an important part of your humanity. If you're so terrified of being rejected you don't ask her out, you're missing out on something that makes life worth living.

So she rejected you? You'll get over it. It's not the end of the world. Just find another girl and climb back into the saddle.

ya it's no fun. I am kind of pickier than I used to be (and probably getting less ass because of it), but I don't really get rejected that much any more. I also tend to approach a whole lot less women than I used to (yet seem to get introduced to a lot anyhow), maybe my strike rate is the same, but I am approaching less, I dunno. Thinking back, there was one at the start of the year that stung a bit. There was also one girl who did turn away when I tried to kiss her, she had a pretty valid reason which she explained then and there, and I took it really well, cos she totally had a point, and it was something I was in two minds about for the same reason...but I ended up getting there two weeks later anyhow. But otherwise, I've either done pretty well, or just not cared enough about who I was talking to to file it under rejection.

One of my friends growing up is a borderline sociopath and people loved to talk to him. He's gone through some career changes but when he was in door-door sales in High School he made bank. He pulled in like 500-600/week part time working for some BS home repair place. Thats damn good money for a Highschool student. Sociopaths do fantastic in both sales and pickup.

That applies to most things in life - if you don't try anything, you never fail at anything. It takes tons of rejection to get better at meeting/talking to women, and invariably the guy that's good at it has been rejected a lot more than the guy that isn't; he simply learned to handle the rejection, not avoid it, until his batting average went up. Part of handling it is not assuming that every woman you chat up is the love of your life, making every rejection the end of some great romance.

Lack of acceptance or rejection is just part of life. What you do with it is all that matters. You can either let it eat you alive or you can use it as a learning experience and move on. Like everything else your attitude towards rejection is more important than the act itself.
