This is what I was thinking as well.

Out going, crazy-fun kind of person keeps you on your toes. Never know what is going to happen.

PLUS! If you stop what you are doing and are genuinely interested in someone's feelings they will sense you care. Then mentioning later what you talked about when you meet again like how their sick cat is doing will blow them away!!!

"He died. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!":cryi ng:

"Crap..."

Why do men have to be confident/assertive to get women attracted? Women don't have to be confident/assertive to attract men.

I mean, who is truly confident?

Well I do put myself out there. I've joined a few clubs, try to engage in conversation with people, etc. We're also constantly having people over at this house. I'm not sure what everyone means by being crazy and fun and outgoing... it's not like any of the socially-successful people I know go bear-wrestling each weekend.

As for those of you who suggest it might not be my niceness/shyness/whatever, what the heck could it be then?

Well, for one thing, you're also a discriminated smoker. For another, you don't ever want to listen to our advice as far as improving looks go or what really works for attracting women. You, like many others here, want to keep doing what you're doing and doesn't work, and succeed!

Meh there are plenty of smokers around this school so I don't think that's a giant issue. And the advice I get is either vague or conflicting.

e: And the point of this thread is not just with regards to romantic interests but platonic interests as well.

You may want to get off the bottle, too, if you're there again.

Probably has something to do with nature and how it operates. You know, we're animals after all. There is a natural order to things, and that involves the males seeking out the mates and showing off their tale feathers and assets whereas a female is the one who gets to choose. If you don't like it then sorry I guess there's not a lot you can do, maybe look into gender reassignment surgery. good luck.

You may just be pressing too much. Your feelings about "bad boys" could be showing in your social interactions, even if you don't notice it.

Either way, resenting your friend isn't exactly healthy. If you don't like the people you're around it might be time for a new social circle.
