This popped into my mind while replying to another thread.
Obviously we all have gotten shot down, more that we have succeeded. The usual thing seems to be trial and error with your pickup routine, but who really knows for sure what the real reasons for rejection were? Even though projecting confidence is paramount, even the most confident person has had at least some insecurities in their life. Its just part of being human. At this point, I have developed a pretty thick skin and really don't care. Way back, I had a few that I just got over naturally, but wasted time since they were false reasons. For example: I have a higher forehead and it bothered me (my buddies call it a five head). It turned out to be a non issue. I joked about it with a girl that I had been dating for a bit and she said that it fits me well and she thought that I was handsome. I remember replying something like: "Who said anything about not being handsome" haha. Obviously, you want to project confidence, but you need to have a solid base to do so.
So, back when I started into the world of women, I am wondering if flat out asking a girl what the issue was (if it was obvious that she had NO interest at all) might have been a good idea. Even someone currently in a serious slump? Sure, you may have to brace yourself for the reply (sorry, but you remind me of Jabba the Hutt), but how else can you focus on what needs improvement? After all, you don't poll the wrong demographic in politics, so asking your relatives and friends probably wouldn't be a good idea, since it would probably just result in dishonest or sugar coated answers.
So has anyone ever just asked? Did you get an answer? Was it what you had thought?
