What would you estimate your rejection rate is?

[GoodMan32]

Its really not alarming. Its human nature. Here are a few ways to look at it:

-How many times does a guy on the street have to give his sales pitch before someone signs up? I bet the rejection rate is pretty similar.

-When I sold my last house, I had over 20 people come look at it. Three made similar offers, and I only accepted one of them because they brought more cash to the table and were less dependent on financing.

-When I walk into a public place I always scan the crowd for attractive women. Its very rare that there are more than 10% of the women there that I would even consider dating based on attractiveness. So on looks alone I have rejected 90% of the women there.

-Do you think a landlord accepts anyone that walks thru the door and wants to rent his property? For every 10 people that call, he won't even bother showing a property to half of those. Out of the remaining 5 there will be 2 or 3 suitable prospects that he thinks will pay rent on time, pass a credit check, and take care of his place. So 70-80% got rejected.

-According to google, a car salesman gets rejected by 70-80% of the people looking for cars.

The more you interact with the public, the more you understand rejection is actually pretty common.

ps. And this singles meet you went to you only asked one girl for her number and she declined. And you left mad after talking to the fat girl. You aren't even putting in the work it takes. I hope what I've shared puts things in perspective and you realize you are looking at this all wrong. Rejection is part of it.

The last straw that drove me to slam the doors wasn't the rejection from the skinny broad (or the fact the fat chick never offered me her digits). The last straw was the fact all the other broads I wanted to shoot my shot on were already getting chatted up by other men.

Rejection to what?

If I were to consider my swipe app rejection rate when I was on swipe apps, my soft rejections in real life, and my hard, direct rejections, my rejection rate would be over 90%.

Most leading PUAs have mentioned their rejection rates. Roosh used to mention how he took a ridiculous amount of rejection. Tom Torero used to say that daygamers would need to approach 75+ women to find sex. Mostly every approacher has gotten rejected a lot. The highest volume approachers take the most rejections.

Rejection by a broad when you express interest in her.

If you exclude swipe apps, what would you estimate your rejection rate is (asking because my cited rate doesn't include swipe apps)?

I totally believe a guy looking for sex through cold approaches might have to approach 75 broads before getting sex.

As far as getting a date, on the other hand, I wonder how many approaches a man would have to make (as a woman is more likely to consider a mere date through a cold approach than jumping straight to bed through a cold approach)

Some guy on here was telling me 90% of men get rejected 90% of the time.

I'd say the topic warrants a thread of its own.

Although I admit I could be wrong, I have my doubts about his claim. As a man who's been rejected over 90% of the time (and has extremely low self-esteem because of it), I was under the impression a lot of men have rejection rates closer to 50/50.

So I'd like to hear everyone's input.

"Rejection" implies that someone else's behavior is PRIMAIRLY responsible for our hurt fee fees. Not so: Our own (frequently distorted and insane)INTERPRETAIONS of events dictate how much, if any emotional pain, we experience over them

Talking here "She rejected me" vs "I approached this girl in the produce aisle, and she threw a pineapple at me, instead of doing what I would've preferred.... Drop her jeans and thong right there in the shop, and invite me to go to town on both her poonany and as-hole"

In the latter, you're taking accountability for your own thoughts and emotions, rather than giving someone else most of the power
