^ I assume you mean "outcome independent". It has to be mental and develops over time, and is different for everybody.
In my case, by opening and talking to hundreds of women, I realized that the rejections are rarely as bad as they felt in the moment. And the worst ones are actually hilarious stories for the future. So, for me its really a question of "what's the worst that can happen?". Nothing that bad, unless you're a complete idiot. Its really all a fun game, so I love playing it regardless of what happens.
Your mindset of thinking of yourself as the prize, as well as taking a more genuine interest in the women you approach, are both good. I relate to both of them. It just takes time to develop that mindset to where you genuinely believe it.
