Arrogance and confidence are not the same thing. Though many people foolishly confuse the two. I do not possess low self esteem. I possess average self esteem.

Average is not going to cut in my friend. Average won't get results. You have to be different than all the other guys out here if you want what you truly desire. Head and shoulders above the rest. Otherwise you will just get looked over.

It's funny, because a lot of people will tell men that they have to do something over-the-top in order to get any attention from a woman. Especially the average looking to below average looking men.

If she isnt interested you have to have the mindset that it is her loss. You have to be so confident in who you are and what you offer that you see yourself as the prize. You have to be persuaded that for every no you receive their will be three other women looking forward to meeting you. It is all part of the game. YOUR MENTALITY DETERMINES WHAT COMES YOUR WAY.
The problem I have have with this line of thinking, is that there really needs to be some sort of foundation to build off of for the viewpoint that you're somehow a "prize". If no one has ever showed interest, if you have never received anything but a no, how do you know that you're worthwhile and/or have anything to offer the opposite sex? Repeated rejections do nothing to enhance confidence.

Beat a dog long enough and that's all it will know.

Part of the "try harder" tripe. Dance monkey, dance.

I've said this in different ways on this site, all you will get here is "You're a man, you should just shake those all off like it's no big deal!"

lol. Once you deal with the kinds and amounts of rejections that someone like I have dealt with, eventually you learn to just stop and find other things to fill your life with, without the idea of a relationship in the future.

I have a very difficult time believing that a man has been rejected by EVERY woman he has ever met.

Just cannot fathom this. If that is completely true and you have had 0% success with women you may

need to look at you appearance. Or you may need to approach women on your particular level.

Just doesn't make sense at all for a man to get ZERO INTEREST.

Haven't had any in a very long time man.

I don't have a "particular level". I don't think that level exists to be honest.
