AboveandBeyond Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I work in sales and I'm very successful at my job and I get rejected ALL the time. You can have the greatest sales pitch in the world and the best product and the other person could opt to go for an inferior product because it fits their style more. You can literally get rejected as man for any one of 20,000,000 reasons (most of whom you have no control over) Understand that and don't ever take it personally. Realize there's many many prospects out there. It's a big numbers game guys. You gotta do your best with a lot of different women to really have a good amount of prospects out there who are crazy over you as you are over them
Grumpybutfun Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 AAB: Vey good advice. I liken rejection to baseball stats, mostly batting averages. If you don't swing, you can't hit the ball, and if you strike out you can't stop because you need to swing to get the next homerun. In 1927 Babe Ruth hit 60 HR's, a record which stood for 3 decades. He had a good batting average and yet he still struck out occasionally. It is about being tenacious and not being afraid, because you will get your feelings and your ego hurt occasionally. It isn't the end of the world. Adversity makes people stronger and not so damn sensitive. Best, Grumps 1
ShyGuy5 Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 It is easy to disconnect yourself from the situation at face value, but when you get to know someone and get rejected by them it hurts. For example in a small town, if you know the girl and are attracted to her more than just catching your eye in a big city, then it is tougher to not be phased
MrCastle Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Gbf brings up a good point. Babe Ruth is considered an iconic slugger. The home run hitter of all home run hitters. He led the league in strikeouts 5 times in his career. The reason he hit all those home runs is because he swung. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. 1
