Reasons i have been rejected:

Having long hair. ( mid back length)
Having pale skin
Not wanting to smoke pot and "party"

The funniest one is the guy in college who didn't want to date me because a friend of his knew me in HS and I had worn thick glasses for one week my senior year. ( and then that friend asked me out himself.)

I have been too tall, too short, too thin, too happy, too something for tons of guys. It happens to everyone. You just have to realize that everyone will be rejected for various reasons, and you just need to keep searching.

I don't keep count of my failures; I just try to learn from them.

You can't be all you can be without being subjected to rejection. Those who haven't been rejected either are young without the experience, have settled....

That is exactly what I was thinking as I typed that.

Sorry. I meant it as a joke.

Probably a lot without me even knowing it. I know I've had crushes on guys who didn't feel anything for me, I've been dumped, guys have faded out of my life without explanations, etc. The stuff that most people experience. I don't have a count but probably not that many since I haven't even been interested in that many guys over the course of my life and I did my share of rejecting too.

My kids do OLD and it's a rough crowd. You need a thick skin to put yourself on display like that and kudos to those who make it work.

I don't keep specific count, but at least 200 times. Probably closer to 300.

When I used to go to bars a lot, I could easily get shot down 10 times in one night. Count women I've hit on at school, weddings, house parties, cold approach. Then throw in my female friends who have rejected me and acquaintances. I may be underestimating.

I haven't even been that aggressive and I have never done online dating. If I was more aggressive, it could easily be closer to 500.

But whatever, people are right. Nobody cares.

You're a 40 year old virgin who has been rejected a 1000 times? Nobody cares.

It's your cross to bear so to speak.
