Im always in admiration of people who dont take rejection from a male or female badly and move on right away,i could never get over it quickly at all and it usually eats at me.....

Recently an acquantance of mine i spent the night with said the only reason she did was because she was really drunk my reaction afterwards was oh that figures the only way a pretyt girl would be with me is drunk and it shut my confidence back down again..

How do you get over it quickly when somebody tells you that youre not good enough for them??

I suspect that they were only into it for the sex or the money.

Well.. it is a matter of perspective.

I've had great relationships with some really attractive, cool women, who couldn't get enough of me.

I've been rejected right off the bat by some below-average looking girls who were "Plan Z" to begin with.

It would be foolish to think that there's any rhyme or reason to it. You can read these threads, and see that so many women have strong, quasi-rational preferences that are driven by whatever limited experiences they've been exposed to in the past.

Maybe she didn't like what color shoes you were wearing, maybe her old boyfriend wore those shoes, he used to beat her, so she thinks you'll probably beat her too. Maybe you paid with cash instead of your credit card. Maybe you paid with a credit card instead of cash. Maybe she thinks guys with your type of haircut are paedophiles. Maybe you are too old. Maybe you are too young. Maybe you were too intelligent. Maybe you said something stupid, didn't bring your A game.

Eventually, after enough encounters whose outcomes could never have been predicted, you are faced with the inescapable reality of: "Who f-ing cares?" Cry yourself a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

It would be foolish to think that there's any rhyme or reason to it. You can read these threads, and see that women have strong, irrational preferences that are driven by instict, and of course each one of them thinks their instinct is "right". Maybe she didn't like what color shoes you were wearing. Maybe you paid with cash instead of your credit card. Maybe she didn't like your haircut. Maybe you were too old. Maybe you were too intelligent.

You get over it when you know they're wrong.

Well, the most recent one is usually the worst one, right?

Well then, dwell on it. Wallow in the pity, bask in the awkward glow of rejection.

Sometimes the only way to fix the long-term problem is to push the present situation further into crisis.
