How to Avoid Being Rejected by Women (And Have Fun While You’re At It)

Let’s talk about it—rejection.

Nobody likes it. In fact, most guys would rather walk barefoot through Lagos traffic than risk hearing “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

But here’s the thing: rejection isn’t the monster you think it is. It’s not as scary as your mind makes it out to be. And with the right mindset (and a little humor), you can handle it like a pro. So, let’s dive into how to deal with rejection, why it happens, and—most importantly—how to avoid it entirely.


Why Does Rejection Feel So Bad?

Picture this: you’re at a wedding, decked out in your finest agbada. You’ve been eyeing this gorgeous woman at the small chops table. You tell yourself, “I’ll go talk to her in a minute,” but the longer you wait, the harder it gets. Your heart’s racing, your palms are sweaty, and before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself to stay put.

Why does this happen?

It’s because your brain LOVES to imagine the worst-case scenario. You think she’ll roll her eyes, call you out in front of everyone, and somehow ruin your entire reputation. But guess what? That’s almost never the case.


The Truth About Rejection

Most of the time, women aren’t even “rejecting” you—they’re just not interested, and that’s okay!
At worst, she might say, “Sorry, I have a boyfriend,” or “I’m not interested.” That’s it. No drama, no public humiliation.

The reality is, women are usually polite. They’re not out here trying to crush your confidence. So, let’s stop giving rejection more power than it deserves, okay?


Why Women Say No

Now, if rejection happens, there are a few common reasons:

  1. You Came on Too Strong
    If you approach a woman and say something like, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen; can I marry you?” you’re probably coming on a bit too heavy.
  2. You Didn’t Read the Room
    Maybe she’s busy or having a bad day. Timing is everything, my guy.
  3. Your Approach Felt Off
    Your body language matters. If you walk up to her slouched, mumbling, or looking nervous, it sends the wrong vibe.

How to Overcome Fear of Rejection

Let’s flip the script. Instead of fearing rejection, let’s focus on how to handle it like a boss:

1. Change Your Perspective

Rejection isn’t personal. Maybe she’s not in the mood, or maybe you’re not her type. That’s fine! It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

2. Start Small

If you’re nervous, practice talking to women in casual settings. Compliment a cashier at the supermarket or joke with a vendor at the market. Build your confidence one step at a time.

3. Have a Default Opener

Don’t overthink your approach. Have a go-to line ready, like:
“Hi, I noticed your smile from across the room. What’s your secret?”
It’s simple, lighthearted, and easy to deliver.


How to Avoid Rejection in the First Place

Here’s the fun part: there are ways to minimize your chances of being turned down.

1. Confidence Is King

Women notice confidence. Stand tall, make eye contact, and speak clearly. If you look like you believe in yourself, she’ll be more open to hearing what you have to say.

2. Start Light

Instead of jumping straight to “Can I get your number?” ease into the conversation. Say something like, “The party’s nice, but you look like you’re having the most fun here.”

3. Know When to Walk Away

Not every woman will be interested, and that’s okay. If she’s giving short answers or not engaging, politely wrap it up and move on.


Real Talk: Practice Makes Perfect

The more you put yourself out there, the better you’ll get at reading situations and handling conversations. You’ll also realize that rejection isn’t as bad as you thought.

And hey, even if it doesn’t go your way, you’ll have a story to laugh about later with your guys over suya and drinks.


The Bottom Line

Rejection is just part of the game. Don’t take it personally, don’t overthink it, and definitely don’t let it stop you from shooting your shot.
