Hey guys, I've been meaning to cover this for a while now, so let's begin.
Has anyone here ever had trouble with overcoming failure? I've seen articles enlighten on this issue, but I wanted to see how many members of the forum have dealt with the problem? I'm not looking for a group therapy session here, but I would like to see what the mindset to have is. My problem is even though I know I should look at it as a learning experience, I can't help but get slightly pissed. Does experience help remedy this? Thanks to all who answer!

Short answer is, yes, experience helps a lot.

If you're new to approaching women and the girl you approach isn't receptive, it feels like a big hit to the gut. But once you gain traction, and actually meet a lot of girls you'll realise it's just part of it. Some will like you, some won't... and you're really just trying to meet those that do, the others don't get a second thought.

Have you ever used the an app like tinder?
You "like" all these women based on their picture and then never see them again... unless one likes you too.
Do you give these other girls another thought? Nope, you've forgotten them 5 seconds later.

There is no failure only experience. :)
