Is this behavior abnormal? especially for a man who would like women in his life(I'm 23)? Not even in high school have I flirted/pursued a woman. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I made this realization just now. I was reading this book and it said a man should approach a woman who he is attracted to, by making her attracted to him by building attraction through flirting. A typical mistake beta males make is try to become her friend and then try to build attraction.

I realize I wasted so much of my life and missed out on a lot. All the girls(in my age group) I know are on a "high, bye" relationship with me. Initially a girl will tolerate my company but then later she will try to avoid or simply greet and leave ASAP.

I'm considering meeting with this one escort so I can touch a woman and gain experience with them quickly. Only thing stopping me right now is that I'm cheap.

You might try some counseling to figure out why you're off-putting to women. Try practicing light banter with strangers at the grocery store or coffee shop. Try to cultivate a sense of humor. That's really all you need, but you need to be comfortable with it.

YES thank you. counseling, I forgot about that. I remember talking to my medical doctor about my problems and felt some amount of relief. I think I should seek therapy before doing anything. I just hope it's not too pricey.

Some therapists offer discounts or charge on a sliding scale depending on ability to pay. Always ask about that. If you have health insurance, most insurances these days cover mental health.

Some MS and PHD students in Psych/Soc have part of their degree requirements counseling others. Check with Psych depts. at local universities.

You can always lower your standards a bit. We all had to start somewhere whether its relationships, jobs, etc. Avg looking women usually are often nicer, more fun to be around, because they cant' rely on just looks.

How do you get along with guys? Old people, children? If you have problems in all those areas, it might actually be a social deficit. I don't like to throw labels around nor play armchair diagnostician...but it can't hurt to ask yourself these questions.

If it is JUST women, have you had an interest in women in general before this point but was afraid of approaching them? Or were you just apathetic? Or have you never really felt a "pull" toward women? That makes a difference too (IMO).

Are you a loner? If so, do you feel like that's because you're afraid of/uncomfortable around people, or are you happy that way and it just feels natural to you?

Why pay for herpes when you can get them for free?
