I think some guys enjoy talking to women just for the sake of talking to an attractive woman. But maybe most of those guys are already spoken for, and are just enjoying the interaction without any intent of it going further. idk. Sometimes it's just fun to have a pleasant exchange with someone, share a laugh as a day-brightener, then move on. Maybe that's more a part of the local culture in some parts of the country than in others.
At this point I'd be more than pleased if an interaction with a woman who I found cute led to even a solid friendship, but not sure of those chances.

It wasn't recent enough for me as it's not on the front page.


There's likely some guys who enjoy talking to gals just for the sake of male ego boost of having an attractive gal's attention however I doubt that's the majority of guys that are talking to gals so understandably it seems reasonable to think guy talking to her = guy wanting sex from her. I generally don't see most people talking to each other it seems few people seek pleasant exchanges the exchanges have self-motivated tangible intentions especially opposite gender exchanges on the part of the guy.

Seems lack of options and desperation has led you to the point where you'd be pleased with female companionship without sex hence why generally I find most guys aren't pleased with this or seek this.

I've never been to any type of social event where there is more women than men.

It seems any place where men and women are supposed to meet up and interact there's significantly more males there. The reason is men are much more desperate, look At online dating, clubs, parties etc for example

Well part of it is my lack of experience, and hence, being willing to take it one step at a time. Unfortunately, I could see a situation where that hurts me, but oh well.

it really comes down to this:

If you easily give up, then you never really wanted it. Your on here complaining and creating all these stories and beliefs around the topic of women, but your not actually taking steps to making your limp desire a reality. People have given you ideas here and you've shot down them all.

Here's an idea for ya: go to charity events. Go to art galleries for shows. There, if you do those two things and actually TALK to women when you are there, you will eventually find yourself a great girl who you match up with.

Or just sit around on the internet complaining about how life is so unfair, your call.

My frustration comes in knowing that if I don't start talking to random girls (even considering people I meet while doing activities like volunteering random girls/women), I can go through life with practically no contact with the opposite sex at all, only exchanging pleasantries at a restaurant/store where they work. This is because none of them are bold enough to start a conversation with men, and this goes doubly for those on the lower half of the attractiveness scale.

I can't believe this thread is 13 pages long and is a redundant topic in his other threads.
