After being turned down, I initially felt like a limp love lance, lacking in confidence and feeling deflated. However, I soon realized that just because someone else doesn't see the charm of my love muscle, it doesn't mean I should stop believing in its potency. With a little help from my trusty heat-seeking moisture missile, I learned to embrace my own unique style and not worry too much about societal expectations of what constitutes an appealing cocktail weenie. These days, I wear my purple-headed yogurt slinger with pride, knowing that true love will come knocking when the timing is right. In short, while rejection can sting initially, it's all part of the journey towards finding a loving home for your very own passion pike. So don't despair, dear reader – your dream of becoming a respected member of the penis pantheon is within reach, no matter how many times Cupid may shoot his arrows elsewhere. Stay strong and steadfast in your quest for love and fulfillment, and remember that every man has the potential to become a formidable force of sexuality and satisfaction, regardless of any temporary setbacks along the way. As they say, the pursuit of pleasure is a neverending adventure, filled with unexpected twists and turns that ultimately lead to greater self-awareness and inner strength. Happy hunting, my friends! May your love muscles always stand tall and proud, ready to take on whatever challenges lie ahead. Together, let's celebrate the beauty and wonder of the human body, in all its many shapes, sizes, and shades of purple. Life is too short to dwell on past disappointments – let's focus instead on embracing the present moment and cherishing all the pleasures that await us around each corner. Onward and upward, fellow lovers of the phallus – may our journeys continue to be filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of delicious dicknasties along the way!

I think rejection helped me massively , not just emotional romantic rejection , which I have suffered many times , sporting rejection ( being dropped from a particular team ) , and Commercial rejection ( being sacked from a job ) , and I think even partial rejection from my mother , who really didn't want a 5th child.. lol lol.

Now any phycologist will tell you that is a melting pot ! But , I'm actually extremely happy about all now , because it all made me think differently , be far more positive and understand, actual rejection in its essence for example , relationships are broken for numerous reasons , and sometimes reasons you just could not even know about , this is a great thing , I can think of 2 straight up that rejected me after time that I can look to the sky and say " Ohhh thankyou so much " , same in sporting teams with others sometimes held in favor for the wrong reasons , exactly the same in Business ( I mean how many people do you know who were sacked from a job and went on to do far better , the family one probably being the toughest.

So , I think rejection is an important part of existence , we all actually need it , it forms us as people , allows you to look at things from a different angle , to come out stronger , to survive..

Why can a tiny street cat hizzzzzz and look frightening? She does it to survive.

And as much as I think participation is sports and the like is great , there is nothing wrong with winning badges either , its always a positive in the long run rejection.

How do you think it changed you?

Yes 100% I always felt rejected my whole life never been in a serious relationship yet it’s like I want it but can’t ever get into anything so I give up. I always feel like people hate me anyways so I just feel like I shouldn’t even approach anyone to try because I already know the outcome. It affected me in life big time it’s so hard to overcome it for sure! It has changed me a lot I feel so cold now, distant & detached

Yes even though it was a horrible experience, I did grow a lot from it and recovered some of my old self, I lost even before him. Me trying to be better for him actually helped me get a bit better for myself. I still have a lot more work to do but it helped get me out of what I felt like was my rock bottom.

Unanswered prayers are a gift from God.  Your brain can justify anything.  Your heart will flat out lie to you.  Your gut tells you the truth. It's rarely what you want to hear, but listen.

Sonorous · Answer

The involvement of every external factor in existence contributes to our continuous shaping. So, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when & how much. Moreover, examples of rejection don't even have to be overt ones. For the same reasons how we might guess if someone likes us or not simply based on their unintentional non-verbal cues.

Miristheiss · Answer

Changed me? No.

I did have a girl in high school I went out with for about 2-3 weeks and I was young, naive and dumb and told her "I love you". Not because I did but I just thought that is what you were supposed to do. Suddenly she stopped talking to me. I learned not to do that. I only ever told 2 other women that and only after dating for a long time. One long term girlfriend and my current wife.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Yes. Rejection for me as a teenager was something I had real trouble coping with. I changed everything. My clothes. my outlook on life, my physical fitness levels went through the roof. In fact the only thing I never changed was my friends! They were great, and still are.

JacobJordan · Answer

Not even slightly it ended up being their loss and they knew it and know it. They made snap judgment based on my appearance and many of them came crawling back days later upon finding out I had a lot of money. So then they got rejected and that may have felt pretty bad.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Each rejection I experienced had an incremental effect on me. I learned to not interpret rejection as a judgment upon me, and I learned to not care very much about rejection. All those rejections, ironically, led to me becoming more confident!

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I'm sure I've been rejected. I've had a long life. I can't remember any time it's ever happened, because it's not something that I'd ever dwell on. I would have moved on 10 minutes later it's not the end of the world.

Drew-1990 · Answer

Oh yes it has, I have always been shy and introverted but I have had some bad rejections just just a simple no that made it worse for me honestly. I'm getting more and more scared to ask a girl out because of them.

AaronKrieger · Answer

Not really, since rejection has never made me feel bad before. Sure, it stings a tiny bit, but it's not personal and I am just glad I didn't pussy out of doing it.

ManOnFire · Answer

Good question. Although I can't say a rejection has ever changed me, it has more often educated me. But going through break ups definitely changed me as a person, each time for the better.

exitseven · Answer

I imagine it made me more cautious. I always joke that I am good with rejection because I have had a lot of practice. It really is not a very funny joke.

Night_Descends · Answer

Well no. I just took it as it was and moved on with my life.  Did you like the person a lot?

LiamJHayden · Answer

No. Rejection is part of life. I just move on. Of course I'm not the type who spends weeks or months plotting and planning, so when she says "Not interested." I have very little invested.

Billlewis · Answer

Oh, most definitely; I've reinvented myself as an obedient personal servant and pay pig.

SolitarySolace · Answer

A rejection in the form of an ex parte ppo for a false accusation changed me quite a bit. Gave me a fear of women as well as resentment

Joshydavid25 · Answer

It has, not just one, but overall rej has changed me.. Some for the better, and some for the worst..

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Yes! Although it was more the technique used. Repeated, aggressive, degrading, publicly abusive and demoralizing treatment will change anyone.

Yeah, it showed me that initiation fucking sucks and it rarely works. No wonder women don't like to do it!

Anonymous · Answer

Yes in my early twenties I experienced rejection both relationship wise and professionally (work). And it crushed my confidence. But eventually I grew stronger from it and found love and a great career. It made me better.

Yes. Rejected transformed me from Beta to Alpha.

No. It has made me aware of a lot of women's motives. But no one can change my heart.
