Latest rejection came from a Chinese girl. She told me that there is a straightforward blood connection between the ancient Chinese and the modern ones but as a southern European my bloodline is absolutely impure. Then she cut all contact and I dodged a bullet.

That's actual racism. I mean, not the racism we're used to hear that is just not racism, real true pure racism, that's very rare.

Wow... you really earned your title on this one.
That really was "Cringe Worthy".
You are the "Captain".
...but seriously, it's good to have a sense of perspective on missed approaches, however you have to limit how far you get into this humor upon failure mindset.
If you start enjoying losing too much then you will start to like it.
In your mind "Happiness equals Failure" which is at the root of how the beta continues to go on day after day losing over and over.
Maybe next time try letting it hurt a little more?
No pain, no gain.
The point of each failed approach is for you to gather data about reality and start to put together a realistic picture of what is going on and why it failed. It's like destructive testing in the lab where you crash a new automobile into a wall and see what fails. What matters is that you analyze the data and learn with each iteration how to "improve the product" as you go.
Imagine a bunch of guys in the lab...
"Holy shit that was great.. the entire front end got crushed... imagine how dead that passenger would have been... his bones would have been mangled... that's fricken hilarious."

On the flip-side it's a better attitude than:
"Holy shit.. the entire front end got crushed... imagine how dead that passenger would have been... this sucks, I'm not good enough at this job, I quit. "

One must just do your life and stop expecting highs or lows as a constant.
"Reals before Feelz" means your highs and lows don't define you.

Wow, great post!
How about "I made 90th post on TRP during last 2 weeks and mods didn't delete it"
or "I am living in my parent's basement and post shit on TRP and people don't notice"
or "I stopped lifting and became full-time keyboard warrior and only one guy noticed"
Thanks for your examples, but I think mine are even funnier!

Thank you for your appreciation! It's great to have another fan. Especially one that so consistently subscribes to my work. I'll be sure to let you know when I hit 100 posts!

I believe it was either GLO or Archwinger who wrote something along the lines of "stop being a clown" but it seems you're not only going the exactly opposite way but trying to make a religion out of it.
I love how you're hating on all my posts yet you're making a deliberate effort to go through and read all of them. I'm actually flattered I have you as an audience.

I've read all of them, of course. Those weren't exactly your posts, but many newly "enlightened" guys here do exactly as you do. Produce a lot of shit, sometimes getting some virtual internet points in exchange. It was Bulk_king11 who was the last one. Now you.
Good night.

I would find the humor in the situation.
the problem is its not funny. thats a coping mechanism.
[–]Endorsed ContributorAuvergnat1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
You're missing his point. His argument is this:
Girls love the bold and confident man and despite the hesitant and unsure man.
Your body language is more important than anything you say.
Fear of rejection makes you hesitant and unsure. This shows in your body language, despite anything you can say.
If you get to the point where you have the mindset that rejection is nothing to be afraid of, your body language will stop displaying uncertainty and lack of confidence.
Therefore, you should condition your mind to react to rejection with positive feelings (for example, that it's funny or trying to collect as many rejections as possible to "win"). Once the fear of rejection is no more, your body language will only be positive.

Got rejected a few weeks ago. Girl told me she just wanted to be freinds. I told her I had enough freinds and that I was leaving. She then asked if I wanted to go get something to eat with her. I laughed and told her that she doesn't understand how this works. Went home and laughed with my boys about it for hours.

You should have countered with how bout we go back to my place instead.
[–]disgruntledearthling3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes this - she was trying to salvage something from her failed shit test
[–]Senior ContributorSkorchZang2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It is hilarious. Gets even funnier when you laugh at it as you're being rejected by the girl, together with her.
to a complete stranger you just stopped in the street, who's trying to shake you off: "No! Please, you're gonna just break my heart like that?"
"So that's it? I meet the most perfect woman in the street, I get the guts to talk to her, and she just absolutely... destroys ...me. Goodbye, Icicle. You cold."
"If you look up heartbreak, there's a picture of me next to that right now. Well, go on, fly away. Fly to your...husband."

Two girls have broken up with me to "study for the gmat". Still trying to find the humor in that :)

Can't see the post, is there a way to see it despite it being removed ?
