Lucky for me, all the women in my social circle are either married or back in Canada.

All I have is acquaintances.

How do I deal with it? I don't talk to them again. Once a woman rejects me, we have nothing else to discuss again.

Clearly this is the common usage on this forum. By much of the male contingent, anyway. Maybe we should have a "Definitions" thread.

OP , it sounds like you hit on every woman you know. and usually get rejected. So like others are saying, stop it.
They must see you as a pest or find you annoying ? Maybe try to work on your social skills ?

Actually there is not a single form of 'rejection' but a rainbow of different colors and degrees.
One of the hallmarks of adulthood and maturity is how you handle this.

If there was nothing dishonorable in my approach and my offer, we knew each other a short time and it was turned down with tact and sprinkles of kindness and finality, it's no harm no foul no blood. I don't HAVE TO shrivel up like a sea anemone and hide my face, because I did nothing wrong.

but I admits
sometimes da pride gets the better of me and to quote Thin Lizzy: 'if that chick don't want to know, forget her'.

I do the same.

Rejection is a part of life. If a woman rejects me and I see her again, I won't refuse to talk to her. To do so makes you look petty and immature.

Women who don't know you at all are likely to reject you.

Women who you know really well, you don't want to get rejected by 'cuz that'll mess you up.

So, the middle ground is women you kinda know, through maybe friends, meetup groups, work, fringes of social circles, etc. Most of those women are bound to reject you too, but the odds are a little better.

I have, on a good (or bad if you will) day run into a number of women who have rejected me. And if you get rejected by two or more women in the same clique/social group/meetup group/workplace, it'll get around and it's kind of embarrassing.
So, how do you deal with having multiple women who have rejected you in your semi-regular life?
I think you asked a really great question, and I look at it differently.

Count the number of odds that most relationships usually work out and last forever (not that I'm condoning couples separating at any chance); compare that number to the amount of relationships that are successful and do work out from casual encounters, to meeting those close in proximity (work, group of friends), verses random complete strangers.

The further you move towards meeting people in your closest circle of relationships (good friends -> acquaintances -> complete strangers), the higher the quality and emotional closeness the friendship is, the higher the risk of greatest emotional rejection but the risk is worth taking because the closer and stronger the bond, the more potential the relationship has sustenance to last.

Since most relationships do not last (the odds are lower) due to compatibility (varied by personality, shared life experiences, lifestyle, socioeconomic background, etc., etc.,) you have so many factors when what it really boils down to is.. you really have to take that risk, especially when the person is a close friend, because the odds of them being a stronger match are higher. Most people who are friends are our friends, because they share important values and life experiences in common and are better able to relate with us when they see life from a similar path.

Anything worth investing in is a risk, and if you lose out a few times that's okay. We all eventually have to let go of something or someone in our lives at one point, even our loved ones when they pass away. In hindsight, what's really there to lose?
