Embracing rejection is a key concept I haven’t fully wrapped my head around, but I want to. I find myself being able to open almost anything, except the girls I really really want. If it’s an easy set and there won’t be a blow out I will go for it. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had no problem doing mixed sets and doing frankly whatever I want except the ones that I really am super attracted to. I think this stems from not having an abundance mindset because every night I go out it seems like there is only one girl all night that I really really want.

The problem with this is that I don’t practice going after the one I want because I’m afraid that it won’t work, but in reality it will never work if I don’t try. This is clearly only an internal struggle with myself that I must overcome and master. I am in it to get the best. Bar none.

No one can do this for me, just like I cannot do it for any of you. In the end, we must all face our own demons. No one can do it for us. We have to come to terms with this and accept it because I know that many people chase a magic pill, but in reality much of this can all be bypassed.

We have to level for ourselves, first we have to accept that we have to face our demons on our own and then we just have to do it. I know it’s way easier said than done, but in the end it is only you and your demon. I can feel for myself that once I fully embrace it and face down my demon the world will open for me.

When it really comes down to it in this life you have to do it all on your own. To shape yourself into your ideal version, you have to take action. Running on my thread of facing demons, I believe that something like this, the whole self-development thing, the real change will come only when you are taking action when it is the hardest for you. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. If something scares you then you probably should do it.

You don't actually have to embrace rejection, you just have to understand some things.

1. Rejection is inevitable. Somewhere, at some stage, a woman is going to reject you. So many factors are out of your control, all you can do is lay your cards on the table and see what happens. You cannot prevent every woman you meet from tuning you away, and you know this. So why does it bother you so much?

Ego. Pride. (bullshit)

You don't want women taking an adverse reaction to you. You don't want people around you to think you're a failure. You don't want your friends to make fun of you. You don't want her to think badly of you and tell her friends. Your fear of this is so great that in your mind it's better to avoid even the slightest chance of this happening... and that is what causes AA in the first place. If you say you don't care about any of that stuff, and you still can't approach, you need to stop kidding yourself right now.

Why do you care so much about the opinions of other people? Why do you let them dictate your decisions when their opinions don't matter and have no effect on you? Do you realise how ridiculous that is? If you know who you are, and you're happy in yourself, then you'll realise what I'm on about here. Do what you want because it makes you happy and because you want to do it. Fuck other people, they don't define you. I know I'm not a loser, and I know I'm good with women because of my experiences, and nomatter how much other people say otherwise it won't change a god damn thing. Rejection happens, it's not personal. Like I said before, there are so many things which are out of your control when you approach a woman:

She isn't looking for anyone right now.
She just got out of an abusive relationship.
She is having family problems.
She is having a bad day.
She is batshit crazy.
She is a lesbian.
She is waiting on her boyfriend to show up.
She loves her boyfriend and would genuinely never cheat.

And on and on and on... you have no control over these things. All you can really do is find out if she's into you, and you can only do that if you approach her. A quick word on boyfriends; they don't lie about that shit. If a girl is into you, she will not play the boyfriend card even if she does have one. Until the morning after, that is. They do this so the responsibility falls on your shoulders and they don't have to feel bad about it.


2. Rejection is necessary. Not every woman is suited to you, and if any of the above things factor into the equation then you're really better off not getting to know her at this stage in time.

Read that over and over until it clicks. The girl is doing you a favour by rejecting you, for crying out loud. I mean it, get this into your head and really realise it.

When you first see a woman the only thing you know about her, the only reason you approach her in the first place, is because she is attractive. That's it. You don't know shit about her... so why do you care if she likes you or not anyway? It'd be different if it was a girl you'd known for years and you were worried about fucking up the friendship or something, but this is a random girl you're never gonna see ever again. Why do you care? Oh that's right, it's your ego again. This comes back to accepting that not every woman is gonna be into you. I will say this again - all you can do is approach her and find out if she is or not. If you don't approach, you'll never know. What have you got to lose exactly? Stop worrying about your little ego, your pride being hurt. Shit happens, be strong. I approach every woman in the exact same way. I treat them all the same, and I've been turned down by some really attractive girls... other girls who were even better looking (and had nicer personalities) were seriously into me. It's not the approach, it's the girl.

And here's an interesting thing. Why are AFC's frustrated? Because they don't approach... not because they don't know what they're doing. If an average guy who had no idea what he was doing approached as many girls as I do, he would still get the same results... believe that. The only thing that really sets us apart from them is that we're actually approaching girls. You have all this knowledge, all this confidence, and you're not doing anything with it because of your silly little ego and the fear of your pride being hurt. Be a man, grow some balls and get your ass over there to talk to her.

Dude I can identify with AA when it comes to 10's. I have also had 10's and although there was AA in the beginning the real struggle is success with one. 6's, 7's, 8's are fun and are dispensable and can be forever sarged in the name of practice. When I'm sarging I'm thinking I'm ready for this girl, I have a plan of action, and the stuff I'm about to say/do works. Another thing that has helped me is to make a game out of being rejected. See how many times you can do it in a night thus putting you in front of more sets. Obviously I don't try to get rejected but you know what I'm saying. Having the balls to practice on a 10 is a small victory as well.

for myself, i'm not affected by rejection or anything because when i've approached and got rejected i was unaffected after it, but it still doesn't help my AA! For me i think its a run out of things to say, make myself seem stupid to myself than to others

i also go out and only see one girl in the club i like, i don't normally see more than 5 to be honnest so i can identify with what the 1st guys was saying.

Solomon II, GREAT post.

That should be a sticky, EVERYONE should read that. You make some great points, and that really puts things into perspective. Definitely something to keep in mind.

You do need to get more comfortable with rejection, but you really seem to care how the set goes. Who gives a shit if the set hooks or not. Rejection is not the enemy really.

The thing I hate the most is when you are in a set for 20 minutes that goes no where. A lot of people like Brad P. and others are using more high risk/ high reward type openers that work to their personality types. That way there is pretty much instant chemistry toward their type of personality or the girl blows them off.

So either you have a blow off, big deal, happens to everyone! OR you are in a set that is actually going somewhere quickly.

As for 8s, 9s, 10s... Its just a number inside your mind, and they are all little girls that want to grow up, place princess, and be swept off their feet. So get out there Romeo and get yourself one!

PS. HAVE FUN DOING IT!

Yes I completely agree. The 20 minute + set's going no where are the enemy. HAHA
