So point being, it's NEVER the womans fault!!
I don't understand. Your mom giving you instructions on repairs means she is blaming you? Strange story.

Men not being able to have babies has nothing to do with women approaching its within their power. Men do approach but after no success we want to see if women can do better and they don't even try. Thanks for admitting women don't approach though.

Your anger should be pointed at yourself not at all women in general because there are a lot of women who have just as much trouble dating as men and for the same reasons or different reasons.

One's lack of dates and social life is generally one's own doing so if one would quit blabbering on about
"poor me this, poor me that, poor me, poor me, poor me....." one's life would change.
Focus on what you do have, what are your talents, what are your interest, what groups can you join, and so on and quit believing that being in a relationship is the absolute most important thing in your life.
Do not attach your own identity around a relationship or lack of.
C'mon, it is way more common to hear of a guy being over 25 and never having had a girlfriend or still a virgin than the other way around, as in most likely there are more male late bloomers since women luckily get a head start in the dating game because they are valued for their youth more and don't have to be the initiator so social awkwardness and being introverted does not hurt a woman's chances as much

Means if I let the clutch out and floored it crashing through the wall, the last thing I would be doing is instructing someone else who most definitely is QUALIFIED how to repair it. I'd be embarrassed as hell and keep quiet. Even if my son is a licensed contractor.

1. Sign up for meetup.com and sign up for some groups that interest you.
2. Go to the meet ups. Go to just meet and talk to people. Some of those people will be be women. Again, just go to the meetups to have fun and no agenda.
3. Continue to go to the meetups for a few months. You will get to know some of the regulars.
4. After a few months, you should be friendly enough with a few of people. Suggest that a few of the group go out for a movie or a different activity besides the meetup stuff.
5. Eventually, you'll see if one of the women would be open to going out on one on one activity.

You can do the above or you can keep complaining.

Your wasting your time they don't care about the truth and like to compare men being unable to have babies and women not wanting to approach. Women are able to approach aren't they?

What's the difference?
Well, for most guys, "don't get approached" isn't really an option, because guys are expected to approach. So the real question is:

What's the difference between:

(For men) Approaching and getting rejected, and therefore remaining single, and
(For women) Not getting approached at all (or getting approached by someone you don't want), and staying single that way.

The most important difference lies not in the fact that both the man and woman spend their Friday nights alone, but how they got there.

The woman's ego doesn't suffer any hits, because she's always getting validated, even it happens to come from guys she doesn't herself fancy. She can legitimately tell herself, "I just need to wait till the right guy comes along". And in fact, this is exactly what lots of women do. Many women can, if they choose to, date around (and even sleep around), have short flings, be treated to expensive dates occasionally etc while waiting for Mr. Right.

The guy? Well, it's quite a different story there. Being actively rejected can (and often does) deal a much stronger blow to a person's ego and self-esteem. In fact, studies have even shown that because the mind tends to more thoroughly process and remember negative experiences than positive ones, the long term impact of consistent rejections can permanently deflate a man's confidence in dating (or whatever the endeavour of pursuit is). This should not come as a surprise to anyone that's been browsing these forums for a while.

I hope the above makes things clear for you. I doubt you'll accept my explanation, though, because then you wouldn't be able to claim "but we have it just as bad, don't you see?!".
