Its just post after post after post about how to attract this group, or that group, or why this group of women isn't into that group of men. How difficult could it be. Just go up to a woman, introduce yourself, ask her what her name is, make some simple conversation, ask the girl for her number, or out to dinner, or out to the movies, or whatever. If she says no, then move on to the next. Be yourself. If your of a different race than she is, it is no different than approaching a woman of your race. The exception would be a language barrier, but even that is possible to get beyond if there is enough interest. Maybe I am just use to confident and assertive men. I just don't get all of these lame and whiny threads.

The deathspell for men is shyness. It's impossible to get anywhere as a man if you're even the slightest bit shy


Don't listen to the BS here from the women. They would rather date a guy who is unemployed and overweight but is not shy vs a guy who is a great catch all around but is a little shy

Men these days don't have enough of what's called testicles to go up to a lady and talk to her.

People on the internet like to be dramatic and embellish. Usually it's their own sorry butts making excuses, dating the wrong people, or just plain bad luck.

They would date the great catch but shy guy if he'd give them a chance. If he doesn't approach them, they don't know he exists. He needs to approach them, as the OP said.

I believe Secretary of State Madeleine Albright famously referred to it as "cojones" in a speech at the UN. On a different topic, but same concept.

Whining about whining about whining?

Because shy people are boooooring.

I've had shy friends, and gone on dates with shy guys. It's no fun when all you're doing is sitting, twiddling your thumbs because the person you're with won't talk. I've been on dates where I did 90% of the talking and question asking.

Now, shy at first? That's great! I actually like people who are shy at first and then open up. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of people who are truly like that.

Plus, I LOVE going out and meeting new people. My friends joke around about it because I can be left alone in nearly any situation and it's nearly a guarantee that I'll be talking to people within a few minutes. Case in point, on New Years Eve we were in NYC and my friend and his girlfriend went into a falafel stand and by the time they got out, I had 3 new phone numbers and a place to crash in Brooklyn if I needed it. These were two girls and one of their boyfriends, by the way..so not random dudes.

I would prefer not to date someone who just stands there looking awkward and uncomfortable and who can't even say hi to a stranger. To me, that just means we aren't compatible.
