Women rate 80% of men as worse looking than medium. In other words, for every 10 men your average woman meets she thinks 8 of them are hideous trolls. Once you have accepted you are a hideous troll to the majority of women you realize you have to just keep plugging away until you find a woman that places you in the 20% some how. It's like in Band of Brothers where Spiers explains his apparent bravery in combat: The reason you are afraid is that you think you still might live. Only once you've accepted yourself as already dead can your do what needs to be done.

You will be rejected more often then not.

I think some guys just hit on every woman they see thinking that, sooner or later, someone will say yes to them.

Agreed.. You do have to play within your league. If you're a 2 and hitting on a 10 your odds will be a lot worse. If you're lucky enough to be a 9 or 10 and don't mind going home with a 4 or 5 then your odds will be better.

Play within your league and you'll do better.

How do you know what your league is? Unless youre talking 9's and 10's it can be subjective to allot of people

You make it seem so simple as if people walk around with a sign that says im a 5 on their head..

That's bull****.
Women always want Mr perfect, even those I wouldn't touch with a stick when I'm desperate.

Especially women at 0-4 on the 10 scale will go overboard and settle for no less than the rich guy with the body of a greek god and face of a moviestar, preferably at least a duke or a count, etc.

Anyone who isn't getting rejected the majority of the time is dating under his league.

Why am I saying this? For one main reason, to me bars, clubs and the like where people generally meet, to me the guard is often up. Trust is an issue, so is danger. Its no surprise men get their share of rejections.
In the job I was refering to, its a semi position of power and an untrustworthy person wouldn't be able to do it. So when the women approach me the trust and danger issues are pretty much destroyed right from the get go.
Rape counsellor?

See this is the bad thing about women. They view most guys as gross unless he is tall, dark, handsome. Me, and most guys I know. The number of women we would do out of ten is roughly 8 or 9. So that makes men more accepting or just hornballs?
