Does hollering even count as approaching? Kind of feels like a half step between
"Let me holla at ya" is definitely a cold approach. Just a very specific one.

I find it funny and interesting that my very logical and pragmatic post went largely ignored- perfectly fine, just my opinion, of course.
However, here's my question:
Why is it that so-called rejection from a woman is so much more debilitating than all other forms of rejection?
What is it about this kind of rejection that develops a complex in certain individuals?
I'll be honest, and say that I just don't understand it. Like at all.
To be fair, your post was like 150 posts ago, in the middle of the night. I didn't look through every post that I missed while I was asleep, so I see it until I liked for it just now. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
That said though, I agree with your original post. Especially about going to social activities. Even just going to a friend's birthday party can be filled with opportunity to meet new people. My friend had a card game themed birthday party a few months ago and I befriended a woman who would have absolutely been my type if I wasn't already in a relationship. Kicked her ass at Uno lol.
And to your current question, I think it's because people place a lot of significance on finding a partner to settle down with. So rejection is seen as a failure to achieve that life milestone.
Which, I do understand to a certain degree. I got rejected a lot, especially when I was younger. Granted part of that was my own fault, I chased the girls that didn't want me lol. But at the time it really sucked always getting turned down.
