how do you mentally manage rejection at the rate single guys get it just need to talk about this because i don't think it gets discussed enough. as a single guy in this scene the rejection rate is something like 95%+ on apps, 60-70% at events, and even when you get past vetting you still get the post-play ghost or the husband veto. that's a LOT of small nos every single week, year after year. how do you not let it grind you down. like im not depressed about it but i can feel myself getting a bit more cynical, a bit more guarded, a bit less able to bring real enthusiasm to a new connection because part of me is bracing for the no. anyone got actual mental hygiene tips for this not just "be patient bro"
