Sounds like OP wants to be around people but not interact with them.

I suggested that as well a few pages back.

These days with all the carnage going on in the US in public places(clubs included), makes you look very odd and suspect.

Nothing wrong with being a loner, you want to be around people but not talk to anyone, go to a library or some other place where you really don't have to interact with others.

But being outraged that someone introduces you to a stranger at a night club...PLEASE...stay home.

Not only that, coming to a club and just staring at women is easily the creepiest thing a man can do in a club.

At least the OP came with a woman, even if a platonic friend, which makes him more appealing to 95% of the women in the club. But even so, **** (urinate) or get off the pot. You don't have to engage in conversation with everyone, but sitting and starting is a huge no-no.

So the OP is now a creep for NOT hitting on women, and quiet people should be confined to libraries?

Who the hell says I’m just sitting and staring? Even for a big guy I dance my a@& off and have fun. Usually when I dance with my friends we rarely get pulled aside by strangers wanting to talk.

I never said it about you. I was speaking in a general sense.

A lot of people go to clubs with friends just to get out and to have fun with their friends. Not everybody is there looking to hook up with a stranger.

You seem easily bothered by the posts in this thread.. Don't take everything so seriously.

Every shy guy I've known has appreciated stuff like that.
But it doesn't sound like she did a good job.
Tell her next time to tell the girl "my brother thinks you are really cute"
It works so well.

Shy guys might appreciate it. Introverts, not so much. There is a difference.
