I think the best way to go about this is turn it into a game with your friends/wingman.
Find out who gets the best rejection of the night and the next time you're out, everyone has to pitch in for the "winners" lunch or drinks.

That's actually a great mindset to put yourself into now that I think about it. Since you're not worried about success you just approach anyone, in true God mode style.

yh the problem with this sort of game game is that it's very easy to go too far

I have a dating profile. One of the images of me was taken at a driving range. A girl from several states away looked at it one day, so I looked at her profile out of curiosity. I noticed that she was sitting down in all of her pictures. In the final image I realized she was in a wheelchair. "Oh, now it makes sense!" I thought. Still, she lived too far away for me to have any real interest in.
A few days later I get this message from her:
Sorry pal, I'm not interested. I don't golf. Get over it.
TL;DR: A girl in a wheelchair preemptively rejected me from several states away because she doesn't like golf.

Too bad, I reckon you would have done wheely well together.
[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Well, that first message wasn't a good way to start things rolling.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Eh, well at least you know she wouldn't have let you push her around all the time.
Clearly it would have been a challenge for things between us to escalate.

No.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Wait, what? She looked at your profile first for some reason, so you looked at hers, and she messaged you days later telling you to move along, citing your one photo of you at a golf course? That is almost psychotic
[–]AnAdventureCore 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sounds about right for a dating site.
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
There are no attractive women on dating websites who are sane.
[–]guitartablelamp 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
To anybody downvoting this: have you or have you not been on a dating website? Respect this guy's opinion, because he has.
Attractive woman, you say? In my area? Must be a porn link.

[–]drsatan1 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I actually knew the girl, it kinda went like this.
"Hey aren't you XXX? We were in BXXX high school together."
"..."
"Wasn't your dad a teacher? Mr. XXXX?"
"Can I use your lighter?"
[She hands me her lighter. I light my smoke with it.]
"Thanks!"
It was really cold actually. Shows you rejection serves more of a purpose to the one chasing than to the one being chased.
[–]AmateurSanta8 points 12 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
She obviously froze up because she recognized who you were and remembered you. And boy, she used to have a light crush on you back in high school, but when you approached her now as your new and improved, suave as Fuck self she just froze up, she didn't know what to say. Full on deer in headlights, her mind was racing for appropriate responses, but none were found. And the moment passed, she still however creeps around your Facebook from time to time.
[–]drsatan1 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, thanks for trying :)
I tend to not think too much about these things, but that's probably exactly what happened.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Apparently the best thing to do in that situation is just politely exuse yourself. "i have to get back to my friends, but it was nice talking to you"
That's exactly what I did.
really cold
She literally froze up
[–]Heizenbrg 18 points19 points20 points 12 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
I was told straight up that I was "ugly as fuck". Everybody else heard and that got me extremely humiliated. That was back in middle school, but perhaps that could be one of the countless causes of my mental issues.
[–]reduser80 17 points18 points19 points 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
I'm 5'9, and a few women I've approached, even in my late 20's and early 30's, have just quickly told me to "Get lost, you're too short".
I don't mind people saying we won't be compatible because of their preference, but the rude tone of it is what bothers me.
That, and 5'9 isn't even that short!!! I actually have had several women tell me they think 6'0 is average. While it might be in other countries, only maybe 15% of guys in the US are that height.
[–]ENDRPHN 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Take advantage of it. It means you can do backflips easier. Practice them so that you're able to pull them off on the spot. Maybe it'll come in handy one day.
[–]offensivebuttrue_ 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yeah only in the Netherlands, the world's tallest people
so average for the world's tallest
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I feel you. I'm 5'5", essentially all of my rejection begins with being a "manlet".
The ducky part is that it bleeds into other aspects of life; both men and women view you as a child. Not a bad thing for hooking up, but which hb10 id just looking for a quick lay rather than a relationship?
One thing that does play to my favor, being short, is the the kids love me. Case in point: I volunteer at a soup kitchen beneath a church where, on occasion, I find a good looking girl volunteering for CWS. The kids from church come down and play with me (I actually think they have crushes on me). The light hearted, yet mature, way in which I engage them is something the other volunteers observe and can be used as social proof. Add to that that I'm friends with all the street kids who are always excited to see me when they come through to get some food, and all of the sudden I'm the guy who hasn't fallen out of sync with what's popular.
Essentially, while it sucks being short, there's not a lot you can do about it but locate an untapped niche for shorties.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What niche?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't know, find one. I like to relate to kids.
If I'm being brutally honest it really doesn't matter what your niche is. You're still short. It's like a fat girl; regardless of what sort of cool shot you're into, most people will just not be attracted to you and will treat you badly.
This. Face and height. Why would evolution choose to select for traits that are variable like muscles or personality? Women look for 'honest traits' that demonstrate good genetics such as bilateral symmetry.

saw a girl in the crowd of a small show, she was stunning. We made eye contact several times, so I planned to talk to her before the night ended. She was talking with her friends so I decided it's best to leave. I waited and she went to restroom, as she was coming back I saw her and said "What is your name?" She said (I forgot let's say Kristen)Kristen. me: "Sorry, as soon as I saw your face I had to get your name" K: It's ok, you're fine tapped shoulder and walks away

A girl asked me, "Are you fucking autistic or something?"
[–]otherworlds 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Was at the bar, saw a girl who I thought was alone, went up to her and politely introduced myself and asked if I could buy her a drink. Immediately a pack of wild fat girls appears (her friends) and the leader turns around and goes "are you serious right now? Is this a dare or something?" The girl I was talking to just politely giggled. They all then walked away.

No need to be a dick to her, especially since you're lowering your value by getting defensive. He approached without calibrating and got shut down. No need to get emotional, embrace abundance and move on.

Telling them about my girlfriend doesn't help much. In fact, it makes things worse most of the time.
"Can you two kiss for me? Oh my God, that's so hot. Do it again."
I don't get taken very seriously when I try to be polite about it. I don't revel in the fact that I rejected a dude or that he possibly feels sad about it. Still, I need to get them off my back somehow.
And really, I don't get why dudes try to approach me, a chick who wears Nike SB Dunks, 30/32s from the men's department, a button-down shirt, and a fitted cap to the club. There are plenty of other obviously straight girls in the club. Work on them, not me.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Well at least do me a favor and say 'fuck off I'm a lesbian' so they know it's not their fault.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Okay, if that'll soften the blow at least a little then I can do that.
[–]ArmoredAvenger 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"Listen, I get that you're into me, but I'm gay and thus, not interested. Sorry." Takes about 3 seconds longer than "fuck off" and crushes less feelings.

This wasn't so much a rejection, but more a backfire.
I'm at this party, and it's lacking girls I'd personally hook in with, but there's 2 I'd consider. I take interest in the hotter one (let's call her M) by facepainting her (it was a UV light/rave type houseparty with glow in the dark paint etc, woo introductory kino!) and her tubbier friend (let's call her T) is making it so abundantly clear she wants me, forcing it by "playfully" poking me with a paintbrush, over the top laughing, to the point where it's off-putting. I ignore T because I legitimately believe I can pull M, and my very inexperienced mate, who thinks he's a wiz because he's read Vin Di Carlo's Pandora's box (which is only worth a skim at best), has enough pride to go "I'll hook in with M if you hook in with T" and unfortunately I complied, being drunk enough at that point and wanting him to actually get some, and he has too much ego to go for T (she didn't look that bad, being honest just by looks both girls were above him, where as if I were dating the friend, T, I'd be labelled as "dating down"), so already he's trying for the big fish from square one.
He directly asks M coming from complete scarcity, making it out that just because she saw me and T making out, she's obliged, like it's some kind of deal they're making. He doesn't kino, he doesn't flirt, just plays a nice guy, eugh. She, of-course, backs away, so I pick her up and put her back in front of my mate, he can't think of what to say and backs out himself. Uses me as leverage and I gracefully step aside, and assist, and he just gives up. She wasn't freaking out either, he's just a sucker that can't push it to the limit.
I got more than he did I guess but that mate just infuriates me. He texted T the morning after apologizing profusely, but it doesn't end there. He works with M, and told them both that he only "pretended to try" to kiss her because I wanted to get in with T. So now, I look like this guy that needed his help, when he was the pussy that couldn't pull or save face for shit, so I guess I seem lower to them than him now, even though, until his plan, I was owning it. I can let them both assume his little story, because I'm not that attached to my image, but for fuck's sake he sure knows how to let down everybody. Never winging with him again.

[–]IllIIllIlIlI 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
you definitely take this whole thing way to serious.
At the end of the day it's about you having fun
Oh dude, I did have fun. Great party! However, if you knew this kid, you'd be a facepalm machine! Very nice guy, hospitable and friendly, but he gets on the entire group's nerves quite often.
Admittedly, once I posted I went "Woah, typed way more than I thought I did." The passion came from seeing him take it all so seriously, him feeling compelled to save face that much only draws more attention. In reflection, it gets frustrating is all.
Think of it like, someone on crutches trying to run a marathon, maybe?
[–]This1TimeBackinNam 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
sounds like you're freaking out too much. Just chill and bang the hot one next time.
What's Pandora's Box?
Boasting all seduction secrets like nobody's business (It's probably a good 50% of the read, marketing it) and defines girls as more or less 8 different types, and what one has to cover to get with whichever once you've categorized them. Di'Carlo's a disingenuous sleaze too.
I suggest reading what the RSD guys recommend, "Outliers" by Gladwell and "War Of Art" by Pressfield, particularly fascinating. Anything directly PUA, maybe "Magic Bullets"? Heaps of content in the side-bar! :)
I saw a black girl in a snow white costume, I approached and said "Listen sorry but isn't snow white supposed to be... white?" and she stormed off.
I found it funny :/
So...this got removed? Why? Or is this meta rejection?

I met this cute Asian girl at a club. She was on the dance floor, but looked super uncomfortable. I approached her and eventually got a good conversation going. She told me she was a tourist who was in town for the next couple weeks and gave me her number. Score... right?
Wrong. She invited me back to her hotel... only to tell me that we had to stay outside and play cards since her family was still inside the room.
I confronted her about everything. I asked her why she told me I was cute, why she gave me her number, why she let me take her out a couple times, and why she was so apprehensive about kissing me... and she simply quipped, "What, is my personality not good enough for you?!"
She went home, I found a hotter girl, the end.
[–][deleted] 25 points26 points27 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Um, maybe she just wanted to hang out? She doesn't owe you sex just because you spoke to her.
[–]HolographicMetapod 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When you are obviously (attempting) to date someone and they're brushing off all your advances that's not really the case. Maybe it was just miscommunication.
[–]VMikeL 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
TIL /u/supersooshi is an entitled AFC, and should never be taken seriously on this sub-reddit.
[–]drsatan1 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
He/she claims to be a lesbian woman actually, so that's kinda weird.
[–]VMikeL 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not weird at all. Still an AFC, still entitled, and still has 0 credibility in my opinion.
Judging from my first conversation with her, it seemed like she really wanted something. She was touchy, kept telling me how cute I was, was telling me that she was leaving soon... what would you think if it happened to you?
Sex was something I was hoping for, not something I expected. But it certainly did throw me off when she would call me up at night, only to have me take her to dinner and literally push me off whenever I would open my arms to hug her goodnight. "Don't kiss me!"
[–]Heizenbrg 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You also have to consider cultural differences, that plays a HUGE part in miscommunication. You should watch "Lost in Translation" with Bill Murray.
[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points-2 points 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
If she literally said fuck off I would have said, "Oh, so you like to fuck off the bed? Me too, hit me up sometime!" and winked at her. Then walked away.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
No you wouldn't have.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
You're going to make an explicit sexual joke that doesn't make sense at a girl who just told you to fuck off?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Yes.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Not if her male model boyfriend was standing right there.
