What would you estimate your rejection rate is?

That you're devastated by the mere thought of rejection indicates otherwise

Maybe I should elaborate.

When I was in college, I was an absolute dog when it came to sex. Extremely desperate. Because I had no backup plan.

Once I developed my backup plan, I'm no longer the pathetic animal I was 12 years ago (I know I'm not supposed to discuss my backup plan on here. So I won't name my backup plan. But we all know what my backup plan for getting laid is)

As an example: In 2012, I begged and begged a one night stand (who I wasn't even attracted to) to give me a 2nd chance.

Another example from 2012: Some broad was having a long, drawn out text discussion with me. I basically told her "Just stfu and come over already. You could have been here by now."

No way would I go to those levels of desperation/thirst today.

This is a common experience. A lot of men don't have a backup plan.

The backup plan becomes porn & masturbation. That's not healthy. The porn & masturbation plan has become easier since the growth of high speed internet.

Specific to college, all the dorms at my university had high speed internet by the time I arrived on campus in 2001. Even in 2001-2002 (my freshman year), it was easy to get free porn online and develop an unhealthy habit.

A lot of rejection can turn a man to porn/masturbation.

Some men can persevere through the rejection and eventually get something out of it. That is often some sort of girlfriend and she might be mediocre.

I certainly utilized porn and masturbation in college. But neither of those were as good as the real thing (which is why I went to the desperate measures I did to get/try to get laid)

The fact my sex drive was at its peak back then certainly didn't help. Even though a lot of men would probably love to be 20/21 again, I'd have to be paid a massive sum of money to go back to being 20/21. Those were dark times for me.

Your college was ahead of its time. When I graduated high school in 09, my high school didn't even have high speed internet yet.

Your last sentence explains why a lot of dudes in college don't bother persevering (because in many cases, the only light at the end of the tunnel is a mediocre girlfriend)
