As a shy guy whos insecure about my looks and afraid of rejection its not something i enjoy but it is what it is..

My only problem is when people shame men for ever being insecure or doubt thmeselves about it as if were supposed to be emotionless robots with no feelngs..

Speaking for myself im 32 and never been with a women..it would be awfully foolish of me and next to impossible for me to somehow have confidence in approaching women and that women are attracted to me and stupidly think the next women i approach is magically gonna be attracted to me when for 32 years none have..

yeah just because life, society, the world owes me nothing, that i'm not entitled to anything, i can accept and deal with it(eventhough from the majority of my posts it sounds like i'm not), that doesn't mean i have to like it or enjoy it

I will approach a guy and flirt, talk, etc., but I absolutely will not ask a guy out. I need to know that he has the gumption to do that himself. The type of guy I like does not sit and wait for the world to come to him.

Then I probably would not be as bitter as this
That's not my reason. And I doubt many other women think that way. I want a man who's not afraid to take control.

Cool. I guess we think the same. A girl that just sits there and waits for me to take care of her is not my type of girl. I want to see that she is also interested in me and if she is just sitting there waiting for me to do it all then I take it that she's not interested in me. I will accept rejection and move on.

I find it hard to believe that not one woman has ever been interested in you in 32 years.

approaching a guy and flirting, talking, thats enough for me, because at least it will give me the "green light" metaphorically speaking, so i know you are interested and ask you out because i'm pretty sure she will say yes, and is it fair for women to expect the world to come to them too?

Bud. Just be a man once. Its not going to kill you if you hear no. Dating is a numbers game. Get over yourself of you'll stay a virgin forever.

Welcome to life. I am constantly gobsmacked by the ridiculously whiney wimpy young men that post in this forum. My son would shake his head in disgust.
