A good friend of mine is very awkward around women. This bothers me because when he and I hang out, he sort of ruins it.
Here are some things I've noticed:
* his voice gets really high talking to women
* he has tons of female friends who he gets drinks with. Some are single, some are taken, but none view him as more than a great friend
* he claims he is seeing a girl but never mentions when they hang out or what they do
* we might be at a bar or at a baseball game and I might strike up a conversation with a woman. He will immediately ask "do u know her?" "Did u just start talking to her?"
* I like to date older women (I'm 25) and he doesnt understand the appeal.It's not that he doesnt find them attractive, it's that he doesnt get it "why would a cougar want to go out w a 25 year old?" Etc
It's there anything I can do? I feel weird giving him unsolicited advice especially when he has had a girlfriend before.

So he is awkward, so what? If when you look at your friend all you see are his flaws then you are no friend at all. Treat him like a human being or leave him alone.
It drives me nuts that people are not allowed to be human anymore. You have to be perfect every second of every day or face harsh criticism.

A better approach, rather than trying to change everyone else, is to stop caring about what other people think of you, especially strangers.

Sounds like you don't like him that much. He's awkward. Why is that such a problem? If I knew my friends were broadcasting this on this forum, we wouldn't be friends anymore.

Thank you! Not every guy can be this suave, confident guy who can seduce women.

You sound like a really great friend
