Playing hard-to-get? Or being scared? LOL


It seems that (men & women) will take their experience, then lump everyone of that gender into one pile. Let's say that a man0 has been cheated on. The tendency (I've noticed) is for him to lump ALL women together, talk about how all women cheat, then wonder why he can't have a relationship.

The difficulty lies in realizing that not ALL women cheat. Not ALL men cheat. There really ARE good people out there. It's unfortunate that a person has to sort through the muck to get to them. And what some don't understand is that the good people probably aren't the flashy ones, aren't the attention-seekers, aren't the half-dressed ones. They are the ones that show up for work and take responsibility rather than take advantage.

The premise of this thread is flawed. Most women don't approach guys, therefore shy guys have less relationships than non-shy guys.

If he was eager to date he wouldn't be so dismissive of your friends either. I'd say this story is unrepresentative of guys who struggle to meet anyone.

I'm very shy to approach but if i'm on a date I make the effort.
He's a platonic friend so I have never dated him and had no way of knowing how he acts on a date (until my other friend told me)

And this also goes to a point that I have made previously about "nice/shy guys". Men who are considered "nice/shy guys" are not always just great relationship material whom women aren't giving a chance. I have always believed that many of these guys lack some fairly basic social skills.

The majority of women don't and I for one am glad they don't because the ones who try it are awful at it..

You said it's happened to you three times, and also that you can't tell an approach from someone making small talk, but either way you're rude to them. So who is being awful?

You know what you have singled me out since I have joined this forum. Even if I do something right you get on my case.. I can't have an opinion without you getting mad at me for no reason. I am rude to you because you have never been nice to me. Seriously don't respond to my posts anymore.

Maybe, but it's self-fulfilling because they don't get the experience. They also lack opportunities to prove otherwise or just learn more social cues through experience.

Yes, some may be real social lepers who women would rather avoid, but you'd like to see people at least getting a chance. Your friend had the chance and acted like a jerk, which also lets you down as a friend, so he stays single and has himself to blame. Many men don't even get a chance.

People "at least getting a chance"?

Seriously?

It's not my responsibility to give those who might not have had a "fair shake" in the dating world a chance. Life's way too short to be that philanthropic.
