In this episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing explains why men have such an intrinsic fear of rejection. Mark breaks down how it’s wired into your DNA, a leftover from our tribal past that has no relevance in the modern day.

To help you overcome this obstacle, Mark reveals his strategy called “Rejection Maxing”—a practical method for systematically desensitizing yourself to rejection by going out and deliberately getting rejected in low-stakes situations. Showing how making rejection a game will not only dissolve approach anxiety but also build confidence, outcome independence. It’s time to flip the script and take control of situations that used to intimidate you!

Key Takeaways:

- Why fear of rejection exists in your brain and why it’s completely natural.

- How to systematically desensitize yourself to rejection with “Rejection Maxing.”

- Turning potentially scary situations into playful challenges that build confidence.

- Using persona and avatar techniques to practice approaching women without real-world risk.
