mesmerized Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Absolutely. The reality is most of us aren't perfect and have to learn through experience. Rejections can actually teach you a lot about what you are doing wrong and how and in what way you should improve yourself. There are always going to be cry babies that take rejections as the end of the world and start hating anyone and everyone. But the smarter ones ask themselves : What happened and why? Sure it hurts if there is nothing you can do about it or you find it unfair but there usually is a hidden lesson in every rejection that can benefit us in the long run. 2
suladas Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Rejection of someone you just met, who really cares? The sooner you stop caring about what people think about you, especially strangers the better off you'll be. Rejection of someone who has known you for months or years hurts much worse. 1

I always get this kick if i get rejected by a girl that i know, kick that tells me that i need to improve. (Mentally and physically)
MARK1957 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing at all.

When it's someone who has known you and you know them it becomes an issue.
CptObvious Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Depends on the way you strike out. If you run into a girl that doesn't want to date white guys, then there's nothing you can do. Just wasn't born to hit that If you struck out cause you a funky smellin, broke ass, scrawny chicken legged dbag in rags then you need to stop being so awful. 2
SensitiveTJ Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I was thinking about this, is there anything positive about it?. Like developing thicker skin.... yadda yadda yadda. When/if I ever get rejected, I'll let you know how I feel about it. Until then
Mrlonelyone Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 We missed the obvious benefit of a rejection. It means that the way is clear for someone who won't reject you. Someone better does come along, better in that they didn't reject you. 1
jcrew11 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I think it depends on how you are being rejected. Is it because you are unconfident and weakly approach strangers? How are you developing attraction or building a conversation that can turn into a relationship. Are you lacking grooming habits that make you ugly. Dating is a "game" for those that are failing because they need to practice and figure out why he is failing to create a relationship or connection with any of these women. Is it just looks? Are you asking out the wrong women? Are these women out of your league and too dissimilar to you? Asking out strangers is hard. Its far easier to ask out women you've built a platonic relationship with, as long as you can create a sexual self-image instead of landing in the wimpy friend zone. 1
mortensorchid Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 You learn a lot. You learn things about yourself, and about other people. Most are not as complex as you think they are, we all fall into the same behaviors and patterns. One thing I have learned is that people seem to have no principals, they say one thing but do another. Contradictions left and right. Realize what others are really about, acknowledge that you or the other party made mistakes, and take it with you. Whatever happens, hard as it may sound, it's hard not to be bitter or angry in general, life goes on no matter what.
