You can't be rejected by women if you don't put yourself out there. If his entire 141-page manifesto/autobiography is any indication, he only passed that hurdle once in his life. Here's how it went:
Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if the reason she didn't respond was because his "Hi" was so soft she didn't even notice it.
She almost certainly did hear him; as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, our ears are exquisitely sensitive; if she did not hear him, she would have seen his vocalizations.
She rejected him, but, his error was taking the rejection personally. She may have been in a fulfilling relationship and not looking, or, she may not have found him "good enough". Either way, she did not reject him due to personal reasons; she did not even know him. She was simply fulfilling her biological destiny, as we all do, including him.
And to drive the point home, it doesn't matter why one person refuses the advances of another. I don't owe any stranger a thing, nor does any woman I try to flirt with owe me anything, and so on.
The OP's sense of disappointed, unfulfilled entitlement is the real issue.
