I don't think the 1/e strategy changes just because candidates have a chance of rejecting you.

Exactly, it is just taken into account in their evaluation. A person respecting consent will just reevaluate that relationship opportunity as 0 and move on to the next candidate or stay alone.

I think it does. For it to work, you'd need to be trying to find the first candidate in the 63% who would choose you back who is better than the best candidate in the 37% who would choose you back. If you can't verify that last part then it won't work I think.
