ROFL. I swear, some of the stuff you come up with sometimes. It's hilarious.

How can I get a guy like him?
It feels like it would be really hard, since there are so many other girls he can choose from.
What do you have to offer that no one else does?

Actually, hold on.

I think there is a reason you would like a boyfriend like that. Perhaps to have all the girls envy you?

Maybe you should ask yourself why you want a guy like that?

If you want a hot dude.... man the hell up and go for it... same with how men have to deal with it.
I did, he left me for his weights.

Because a truly socially awkward woman isn't going to be putting herself out there be approached by anyone, and even if she is approached, her anxiety and awkwardness will keep her from making and sustaining a connection with the guy. "Getting a boyfriend" isn't a one-time event. Just because someone says "hello" to her doesn't mean they're dating.

Yes but the guy is expected to lead the conversation so that can make a socially awkward women more likely to open up

To quote a line from one of my favorite shows, "Did you grow up in the woods? Are you Nell, from the movie Nell?" Have you ever had a conversation? You need to get off the internet go be among people. Talking to someone who's so awkward and shy that they can't keep up a conversation isn't appealing or the basis of a relationship among normal people. A conversation and a relationship involves two people, and they both have to play ball.

^^^

Guy is expected to lead the conversation, take initiative, pay, romance, suggest where to go, not be cheap, etc. Is this a good or bad thing? Opinions will vary but so far this is what women generally speaking will prefer.

because real manly masculine men do take intiative , I don't understand how western white men moan and complain about feminism but then act all girly and want a women to pay for dates, approach them etc most of these guys are loser bums


lol that's why I date older guys , and black men im tired of all this feminine im scared to approach a women talk I see from young white guys.
