Believe it or not, there are times when even a Plutocrat is on the receiving end of rejection. What do you do when a group or an individual sizes you up and says “not interested”? No man enjoys the feeling of rejection, but here’s how to move past it.
Stay Humble
When faced with rejection the worst thing you can do is pretend that you never wanted what they were offering in the first place. It’s obvious you did. Don’t be petty, this will only solidify their reasoning in not choosing you. Equally bad is making excuses about why you didn't make the cut.
Whether it be a relationship or a possible career choice, everyone has their reasons. You may not agree with them, but you have to respect the fact that they did not see what you see in yourself. This is the time to ask why they had reservations and what could make you more attractive in the future.
The last portion is sometimes impossible in romantic relationships, but the first question will give you all you need to improve. Take it from someone that’s been there before, it does take willpower and inner strength to shake hands with people who have told you they do not want what you have to offer. However, Plutocrats understand if there is nothing else we have, it's our dignity and respect.
Get Motivated
Okay, they’re gone now…it’s okay to be visibly upset. If you actually care about someone or a position, you shouldn't be all hunky-dory after being overlooked. Natural feelings of disappointment and frustration should be acknowledged and released. A personal favorite of mine is going for a solo swim and proceeding to do my best Muhammad Ali impression underwater. That and a couple of laps usually gets everything out of me. The only thing is we can’t stay at the pool, we have some proving to do. Don’t fall into denial like the event didn’t happen, use that as fuel to take you to the next step.
Get Inspired
It’s important not to dwell on the last step, because it can lead to a losing strategy of determining one’s success by how you “prove” your worth to your rejectors. The worth of a Plutocrat cannot always be seen by the masses, and for some, it will never be seen. However, you do need that fuel of rejection to remind you of necessary upgrading. It’s time to become a student of the things you love.
Go back to the basics of what you find beauty in, and step away from isolation. It’s still not the time to conference with your second-and third-level friends; but confide in your innermost circle for the encouragement you need when you’re running on E.

Try Again
This is probably the hardest step in every man’s life. We are planners, we are conquerors, and we are strategists. If something has ill effects, most men logically never go near it again. That may be a reliable rule for things like poison ivy, but that’s not how life works.
It takes rejection for a man to understand that he may not get everything he wants the first time, and he will have to think long and hard about what he wants to make himself vulnerable in that way again. Often times men can bite the bullet for their careers, but turn uncompromisingly frigid in their personal lives. Don’t allow one woman to define the rest of the relationships in your life.
These guys are fated to end up with “safe bets,” or worse - no one. The lowest on the totem pole is the foolish men who spend a lifetime chasing women who only love to see men run after them. Remember, beggars can never be choosers, but Plutocrats grow to be more selective.
