It requires you give up a little bit of humanity and treat it like a genuine, real and passionless game. You almost have to get to the level of ignoring the fact the girls are fellow humans and look at them more like hurdles or benchmarks to overcome
Sad to say, as a celibate, virgin-til-marrriage, nonplayer, earnestly seeking a good Christian wife, I had to get to the same point. The endless treadmill of baseless rejection was so soul destroying, that to avoid ending up suicidally depressed, eventually I just had to start looking at women as a prey-species to be dispassionately studied, tracked, and hunted, rather than as fellow human beings worthy of emotional investment.
Of course I was fortunately able to turn off that coldbloodedness once I finally found and married a good one. But it's sad that the runaway hypergamy, the impossible expectations, and the spiteful nuclear rejections of "Christian" women were so bad, that a Christian man almost has to "turn off" his soul til his marriage quest is over.
