Rejection is what men get used to once they've pursued women for a number of years. It happens often to every single man out there-- even the best looking and rich, whom you might think never strike out.

Simply stated, rejecting men is what women *have* to do.

It's their filtering system for weeding out the large amount of incoming interest they get on a daily and weekly basis.

The rejection women mete out still hurts most guys, most of the time. But what successful guys do is not allow the pain of rejection to linger. Rather, they "Feel the pain, then move on."

That is the mindset you have to develop. Don't deny the feeling that comes from being rejected; just get over it quickly.

Furthermore, following rejection it's important to acknowledge the attempt you just made. Don't discount that you just tackled the biggest hurdle in meeting new women: making the decision to walk up to them.

Thus...

Celebrate the attempt, not the rejection

When a women shows no interest, deflects your advance, tells you she'll be right back but never returns, gives you a false phone number, or deploys any other of the many methods women use to reject men, it's time to pat yourself on the back. One thing you can tell yourself that will speed the recovery of the ego blow (which is what it is) is:

She says "No," I say "Next."

Give yourself credit for attempting to meet this woman. Most men freeze up when thinking about approaching an attractive woman, so you just showed some fearless behavior compared to your hapless peers.

In fact, once you get used to approaching women, getting rejected isn't that big of a deal. Your ego becomes numb to their reaction because you know that you invested so little, and that their instant-opinion has zero reflection on your worthiness as a person. After all, how can anyone's character and potential be accurately judged in under a minute?

So get out there and approach women. Concentrate on the act of initiating conversations, not on the rejection that happens to every male on the planet.

Celebrate your attempts. Think like a salesman or a baseball player. Both fail the majority of the time, but rely on their repeated attempts to become ultimately successful.
