As the advice usually goes around here OP, wait till your 40s& 50s and women will be throwing themselves at you! Lol

Having social skills is not the same as being domineering. A life coach might be a worthwhile investment for you. Alternatively seek treatment for your anxiety & join clubs like toastmasters where you're interacting with others & public speaking.

Wasn't you jobless and struggling to get a job in your last thread, OP? That you didn't want to work if you couldn't get a girlfriend? And now, you're roll'n in a Maserati, living in an affluent suburb and have a ripped body?

Do I have the right guy?

Why? You have already identified the problem. You lack social skills. So, work on that. Get someone to teach you. Read a book. Take a class. Observe what others do. Practice. Like most skills, you improve as you go along.

Too bad you're not an ugly, runty, half-broke guy, OP. Life would be so much easier.


OP is disproving the opinion of 80% of the guys here. Not that they will notice.

This thread reminded me of a recent convo with a friend. She had a really awkward situation where a long time friend tried to make a move. (We were all quite tight back in college. I lost touch with him a bit, but she keeps me up to date. )

Her: smart, bubbly, extroverted, likes to go museums, likes to host parties, loves to go to cocktail parties, enjoys meeting new people and connecting with people. Likes to live in cities and urban life.

Him: smart, quiet, reserved, introspective, hates parties and large social gatherings. Life plan is to do charity work in a rural place and retire.

So basically, she had a whole bucket of reasons to not be interested in him. There were two primary ones: religion (she learned the hard way that she shouldn't date outside of her religion), and disinterest in parties.

She goes out a few times a week to art galleries, museums, parties etc. She wants a partner in crime at the party or someone who is willing to tough it out and can manage the small talk required in cocktail parties. He hates those events and back when we all hung out would leave the party, hide off in the corner and find his close friends for a post event meal.

So for a woman like her, the quiet non-social butterfly is a bad fit. Now another one of my friends hates parties with people she doesn't know. She only needs one social event a month to get her fill. She doesn't like to live in the city. As you can see, she is a lot more compatible with him than my friend.

This is long winded way to say, it depends on the woman.

A dominating male is not what woman want...they just want to stick to the traditional script...a male that behaves like a man.
