I've all but given up on women
Dammit. It seems that whenever I try, I always get shot down. Oh wait, it doesn't seem that way. It IS that way. The more that I get involved, or rather, the more that I get attracted to a woman, it seems that when I either get shot down or she goes with someone else that the (emotional) pain just cuts through me like a knife. They say that it gets better as you live on, right? That with each rejection you learn to not take things so personally? Not in my case. It seems that with each and every time I lose, it hurts more and more.
I just really don't know what to do anymore.

Well........noone likes a whiner. So suck it up :D
In all seriousness buddy.......Seems you may be wearing your heart on your sleeve. So youve been rejected. The key is to not dwell on that. You have to keep trying. Any rejection is painful. Here is something that has helped me. You ask someone for their number/to get drinks/to go out sometime, etc. They shoot you down. Whats the worst that happened? Ill never see the person that was never interested in me again? And if I do see that person I wont have to interact with them? Not that bad of an experience as far as Im concerned.
The more attempts you make at something the more chances you have for success. The more you second guess yourself and the more reluctant you are to make those attempts you will never find out if it could have happened. Meaning you will never know if that one girl would say "Sure let's do something." As far as Im concerned it is better knowing then always wondering what could have been.
Just my take on it.............lol Don't know if it helped.

Could be the type of women you're trying to get with. If you sit down and think about all of the things they all did to show you this was coming, you'll notice a pattern. Then think about all of the things you did when they started showing you they weren't interested, you'll notice a pattern.
Then it's time to break both patterns. To do that, think about all the women you kept on a string (I hope you've had that experience), time to do more of that and less of what you were doing to get hurt.
Keep trying, change is good.
