Yes, if you behave like a horny buffoon you will actively chase women away. What's your point?
Trying to make eye contact with a lady, who then sees you, and quickly averts her gaze is actively chasing women away? If a woman wants you, she will make it clear that she wants you to approach her and send a tonne of IOIs.
For the record, there was only one time I made a digital photo of a woman's a$$ when she bent over. She turned to me and we started chatting. I found out she was married and then deleted the picture. The point is, she did not show any interest in me at all in terms of even talking until I took that photo. That means some contact must have happened without me tapping her shoulder to talk by doing that action.
Again, it's a non-verbal connection.

You seem to struggle with the definition of rejection. In order to reject, something has to be offered first. You offer a manuscript for publication, they sent you a letter that they are not interested in publishing your manuscript, that is a rejection. And that is a good thing, because now you can find another publisher for your book.
Being ignored is not rejection, but pre-selection.
Something you do yourself -- you select women you approach. If you see an unattractive woman and you don't approach her because you're not attracted to her that is pre-selection not rejection. If she comes up to you and tries to spark up a conversation and you politely listen and excuse yourself and walk away, you ended an interaction. Not what she wanted perhaps, but she didn't hit on you, so it's not a rejection. If she asks you for a date and you tell her you can't/won't date her, that's a rejection.
Let me present two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Either I, or lets say, someone else who is in a dry-spell for more than 6 months (voluntary or involuntary), like
@BergischerLöwe goes shopping, then the likeihood that we are going to get our goods and pay the cashier and have no further interaction is quite high. We see people who are minding their own business and don't want to disturb anyone. We go to work, ditto. People are just doing their own thing, maybe you might get a smile in and connect with someone superficially but that's it. Dating profiles look like a big effort to get some lackluster results. Did any rejection happen? No. Was there anything encouraging in the environ to approach and talk to women? Of course not. Is there justification in saying that you are not motivated? Of course, because you feel like you are enchroaching on another person's space.
Scenario 2: Lets take
@Hamurabimbi, now he has the chadlite looks. He goes grocery shopping then he's going to notice women checking him out. Someone might approach him or start a casual converssation or small talk while he's shopping. The cashiers are super-nice and friendly and make a comment that sounds like they could be interested. When he goes to work, again, women are super-nice with him and he gets office-sex play.
The point I'm driving at is that people are rather harsh with incel or nearcel because they are not motivated to approach. If they had the same level of pre-selection or attention as chadlites, then I'm sure, someone of the likes of
@BergischerLöwe won't be making threads that he has no motivation to approach anyone and people giving him allot of advice as to what to do to meet women. He'd have a girlfriend yesterday because he would be making approaches because he knows he's preselected.
It's like what is the emphasis on actually getting rejected. Is it like some legal process, you want to make sure you get that "no" so you can file it somewhere that you did something and now you can claim a million dollars or something?
Anyway, I digress,
@characternote has a good attitude, and he feels that some women (that likely wont' be conventionally attractive, or even have issues) might like you and think you are hot if you approach enough people. MTGOWs, however, would probably pay a hooker than bother with all that, or if its against religion, do nothing and write threads about not feeling motivated like
@BergischerLöwe. What can I say? I feel people make threads and bump threads because there is some disconnect / misunderstanding and we are not getting at the truth. Is really a sad thing and there should be more empathy as to why someone might not feel motivated to cold-approach.
