Rejection is the wrong way of looking at it. It's not really about rejection, it's about not being compatible. Not being compatible is just a fact of life, you can't be everything to everyone, and so if you find you aren't compatible with a lot of people it just means you have a strong sense of self and know who you are and what you want really well, this is a good thing. The goal is to be the one who judges the compatibility, and not the other way round, this way you don't feel bad when a conclusion has been reached.

I think a good way to get over AA is to seek to get 3 rejections under your belt before you "start." Go to a different bar to start just in case you don't want the rejections to hurt you, but just make sure you get rejected. Those rejections will be like a vaccination against future rejections.

My ski instructor had another version:

If you're not falling down, you're not trying hard enough.

His point was you have to make mistakes, learn from them, then get back up and keep trying.

Alternatively -- If you aren't getting rejected on a daily basis, you might just be really good at this

I agree with the sentiment but if your sole purpose in life is to pickup women every day then you're priorities aren't in order.

Look after your career, your body, your mind, your family/friends too. It's about quality not quantity.

Useful advice for a lot more in life than just picking up women.

Although that may be the best application.

wow, that's a great revelation.
