That's not at all what she was saying. She's just describing the process by which women get feedback about how attractive they might be, just like some men take frequent "rejections" to be indicative of how attractive they are to women. Both genders experience this, both get negative feedback and process that. How much it affects them varies tremendously by the individual. She was simply responding to this post, by "techrium":

can we all agree that women RARELY get rejected since after all, they rarely APPROACH? And she was saying, no, we can't all agree that women rarely get rejected. Women get rejected all the time, in the way orangeapple described. Not to mention all the "rejections" (which women don't really define as such) when women approach and start convos with guys.

You completely misread Nila's post, too. She was just opening up the possibilities for men.



Oh well. Never mind.

Men are told when they get rejected that they didn't, maybe women should use their own advice since in the scenario we are talking about she never asked anybody out.

Possible means it actually happens there are many men waiting for this and its in vain.

That's exactly the point!

The first step to getting women to approach you and to initiate with you is to recognise that:

1. These are things women really do, and

2. If they are not doing them with you personally, there is a reason, and

3. You have control over the situation -- simply stop approaching women cold and, instead, change the thing that is preventing them from initiating with you. Hint: It is not your looks, height, money, or social status.

I want to really empower men, not give them fake 'empowerment' that is designed to feed their hopes while keeping them permanently dateless.

Yes, exactly. Women don't consider it a rejection. Even if they do ask a guy out and he declines, it's not a rejection, to women's way of thinking. Remember, most people are not each other's type. When someone declines your invitation, or ends the conversation prematurely (before you get to the asking for a number part), or walks away when you approach to talk, all they're communicating is "you're not my type". It's not a rejection. Rejection is when you've dated someone, and they decide it's not working out. Or you're in a relationship, and they dump you. That's rejection.

Do you decide what is rejection for everyone else, and even though I don't approach women anymore and get upset when they approach me when I did and they said no that was rejection and no other way to phrase it.

There's a huge gulf on this forum between how men define rejection, and how women define it.

It doesn't mean "you're not good enough". It just means you're not her type. It's not something to be taken personally. The way I heard one woman put it once, was helpful. She said, "He's an apple, and she likes oranges. It doesn't mean apples are bad, it only means she likes oranges. He needs to find someone who likes apples."
