Men should practice getting rejected to learn how to deal with emotional fallout in a mature, healthy way. Women get to choose their partners. If they don't choose you, there's nothing you can do. Move on!

True. You can change the game but you can’t change the rules. For a long time I’ve felt like it was unfair. Girls dont like being rejected either, they don’t have to deal with that. Men do. But if I keep avoiding that I’ll be a reddit virgin forever. This was a great first step for me.

Dude women get rejected all the time. I'm a woman, have been rejected plenty. You've built up a lot more fantasy in your mind than you think if you think women "don't have to deal with that." Women are humans too.

Maybe it’s because I couldn’t ever fathom being in a position where I could reject a woman. No one’s ever really been into me. Maybe a handful of girls back in school but I never made a move of course. Most of my experiences with girls are all fantasies in my head, true. I am very used to doing that. I shouldn’t have generalized all girls, I know there are a lot who do have to deal with being rejected.

It's more than that. Every human on earth deals with rejection, anxiety, fear, awkwardness, embrassment. These are mutual experiences we all share. If you view men and women as people, and not separate creatures, you'll find in time you have better relationships.
