If you care about your reputation you must understand rejection is somethign that can make you look really bad. Also, you must understand that rejection can significantly hurt your confidence, ruin your confidence even. And that will not only affect you with girls but your entire life. People talk about ego like it is nothing, but without an ego you are nothing. You must protect your reputation and you must protect your feelings. Any body can get hit by a punch, but who can dodge a punch and then land theirs (

I have a method that I think should give me a chance with anyone, but I won't tell you guys because you will say negative things to me and this will only discourage me and hurt my commitment to what has been successful. I'm just trying to expand my skills a little bit.
1.) I want to be more dominant, meaning I want women chasing me more.
2.) I want to reduce the risk of getting dissed or blown out.
3.) I want to work on isolating a little more.

you are projecting, this is something I doubt you have experienced but rather have read and formed a limiting belief based upon without the proper context,
being rejected in the past has lead to me getting laid, however under the context of social proof trying to game a girl beside a girl that just rejected you and is within the same social circle lowers your social value in that moment, under the context that you are just pussy hunting and have no standards, almost no girl wants to be that girl that hooks up with that guy that will just fuck anything he can get his hands on, neediness is not attractive, how ever being a sweet guy who just ''isn't her type'' can lead to her pawing you off on friends and playing match maker if she truly values you as a person

actually, if you have a lot of confidence, rejection will not effect you at all, when you sense of self is solid, the opinion of others has very little to do with your self esteem, since your self esteem is routed in your own self belief rather then the approval of others
having a low amount of self confidence will leave you lacking a solid sense of self, and being rejected under these circumstances will lower your self esteem, because you base your self worth on the approval of others to validate your ego by how you percieve others pervieve you
this is at the core of reactive vs non reactivity, core confidence is developed through experience and gaining reference points to develop your sense of self, if you have a low sense of self and are lacking self confidence you will have to endure a pain period to tame your ego, this is the toughest part is letting go of approval and pushing your comfort zone until you have so many reference points of being treated poorly and highly, that you no longer base your self worth on the opinions of others, there really is no other way around this, you have to internally change your belief system

the point is not the kill your ego, but to take control of it and realize you are not what you think you are, or what others tell you, you are, you are you, nothing more, nothing less
you can improve yourself, but you are who you are, the negative things people say, or the positive things people say, do not change this, just because you think you are amazing or think you are shit doesn't make it so, you are you, you have to tame this fucker so that he isn't keeping you in reaction to others, find who you truly are so you can trust yourself

but you are seeing this from an interesting angle, you want to not lose at all costs, rather then to win at all costs, this is all routed in prospect theory, you have to break free of social conditioning and release yourself from these limitations, if you are the most certain of yourself in a group of people, they will eventually fall under your frame, your repuation is what you make it, not what others make it out to be, this is a weak persception of your own reality, you must know who you are and be absolutely certain without a doubt of who that is, de-tached from ego, without reaction to others

you potentially have a chance with every woman you approach, the thing is though women are not robots, they are not all universally the same, they all subjectively value something different from the next, not every girl wants a dominant man, not every girl wants a social leader, not every girl wants to chase a guy, and not every girl will respond to the same ''tactics and tricks'' in the same way, not every girl is even available sexually, everyone has different personalities, and no matter what ''method'' you use, your true personality will always end up shining through, no matter how well you play the part of some other perfect guy, there will be girls that are not attracted to that guy, and girls that will be attracted to that guy
I am not trying to attack you here, just giving you another angle to think from, if you are open to that angle, you will always do what you trust in reguardless of what myself or other people say anyways, this is just some food for thought
