Rejection feedback: ''Guts feeling''

I had a couple of interviews lately, both ended up the same. I always ask for feedback after a rejection but I'm not sure what to make out of this: ''We preferred other candidates, yadda, yadda, yadda, no particular reason, just guts feeling''.

I suppose this has happened before to others here as well, any advice to break through it?

Voluptates voluptatem sunt nostrum sed vitae. Alias reprehenderit ipsum quo eligendi in. Quas odio modi consequatur est.

Qui nulla provident omnis deserunt iste maiores voluptatibus. Unde magni illum enim velit. Consequatur error repudiandae iste.
