opportunities around you. A rejection should not end your nightprematurely. Second, it increases your perceived value. Say "It’sher loss" enough times and your brain can’t help but believe it,and soon you will start expecting girls to work harder to gain yourattention. Finally, it prevents you from wanting to change your gameafter a particularly bad encounter. If you have a solid line thatbombs on one girl, and you don’t think it is her loss, you may betempted to remove that line from your game even though it works mostof the time. The guys who wish to avoid rejection the most happen tohave the most pride. They think, "Why should I approach her andmaybe get rejected when she’s just a stupid bar rat who happens tobe attractive?" But if he is confident with his standing andability, there is no reason for him to care about what a random girlthinks. Pride is just another defense mechanism to protect the ego―itgives men an excuse to avoid failures that may cause embarrassment ordiscomfort. Guys with pride are actually hiding their fear ofrejection behind a "too cool for school" air that fools onlythem. A lack of pride teaches you to be a humble student, someone whoaccepts short-term failure for long-term success. A man without prideunderstands that rejection is okay because not every girl is able toquickly notice his many positive qualities during an approach. Eventhough most of your approaches won’t result in sex, you have to dothem anyway. You must go into situations knowing that odds are youwill fail. You have to accumulate enough experience so that you willbe 100% prepared for the times it will lead to something. You have tomake those ten long-shot approaches to get the one that turns out tobe easier than it looked. As you do rack up experience, avoid lettingyour historical averages dictate your behavior. It’s common tothink something like, "Well historically I have done poorly in thistype of situation so I’m not going to do it this time."
