What I see a lot when a lot of my male friends get rejected, or stood up on a date, is a resort to anger (for my lack of a better term). Things like:

"Women are so selfish." "That's not fair! We had a date already!" "Why would she stand me up? Fuck women, I hate them."

The problem is that—besides the fact that hatred is typically a pretty useless emotion to outwardly express—getting turned down, rejected, met with LMR; it's all exactly like playing a board game.

There are tons of games out there (Sorry, Settlers of Catan, Uno) where there exists a rule that allows one player to screw over another player. In Sorry, a certain rule allows one player to send another all the way back to Start. In Settlers of Catan, one player can strip another player entirely of resources for any number of turns.

When a child is faced with this rule in these games, what does he do? Typically he'll pout, get angry, and say "That's not fair!" He'll direct his frustration and anger at the player who utilized the rule. Or he'll say he doesn't want to play anymore because he doesn't like games with rules like that.

Yet an adult who plays these games recognizes a fundamental principle: This rule exists for this game; I can't hate the other player who utilized this rule, because it's simply a part of the game. So instead, I'll find a way to work around it and still win.

Thus exists this mentality in the minds of the great men who are successful in the dating world. It's well-known to any guy who goes on the internet or has lived past high school that women will often feign interest—even accept an invitation to go on a date—for their own selfish reasons, whether this be their solipsistic need to have some new interesting story to write in their diaries; or a desire for someone to bitch to about her day, or have general companionship with; or even something as fundamental as the opportunity to fulfill a direct goal or gain access to a specific social heirarchy (e.g. a girl accepting a date in order to go to a party where she'll meet a bunch of way more attractive guys). We know this exists because tons of guys have written and talked about similar stories for hundreds of years.

So one is left with a choice. One can either be the child playing the board game, and pout and cry about how unfair it is. Yet one can also be the mature adult, and realize that this is a fundamental part of the game. Women will do this if they feel it will benefit them. And upon realization, one can decide to play in spite of the rule, and still figure out a way to win.
