It's quite possible rejection sensitivity developed as you said, but humans are always moving forward. We're not in packs anymore with alpha and beta castes fighting over food and mates. People with rejection sensitivity a lot of times are overly sensitive in every other way. They become artists, writers, musicians...there are a lot of ways to channel that sensitivity in the modern world. And there are a lot of beautiful women who are attracted to that sensitivity.
One thing I always notice is that people who are very (or pathologically) shy don't realize that all most decent girls want is another decent person. You don't have to be a rock star or pro athlete or millionaire to date most girls. The females who chase after these two types aren't worth being with in the first place. It's the same thing with shy girls - you don't have to be Megan Fox to get a guy who loves you.
