Ok, now you have. What is your excuse for not joining that group?

Money is riding on this, hurry up.

Well when I'm hanging with my friends, we're not in an enclosed room doing a circle jerk. I'm usually outside near people and I have the opportunity to meet people.


What it comes down to is that, to me at least, no woman on the planet wants to be approached so I would just be annoying them to death.

Women want to be approached. This is just your bad 'tude.

Let me explain something about your friends. Your friends are living different lives than you are. They all have significant others and have a steady source of sex theoretically, and you don't. So long as you are not asexual, you want sex. You have to prioritize your sexual needs ahead of social time with your friends. They just don't have the motivation you do. Strike up some casual acquaintance-ships with other single dudes who are all about approaching. You need to be all about you right now.

Anyways, I'm not asking to be approached...thats a lot to ask for from decent looking women who get hit on 500,000,000,000 times a day. Why would you hunt when prime meat is served on a platter daily? I would be cool with just getting some signs of interest sometimes
OP, restaurants generally aren't a place to socialize. It can happen--socializing can happen anywhere--but not so much at restaurants. Shopping? Do YOU talk to women when you're shopping? YOU're the one who wants to make it happen, you should be doing the chatting, not waiting for someone to serve the woman of your dreams up to you on a silver platter. Working out? Could happen, but it depends on the gym. You, yourself, have said the gym is a terrible place to socialize. So why are you expecting women to suddenly become sociable there?

I find it odd that you're giving examples that others have given you in nearly every thread of yours, but that you, yourself, have rejected every time.

Women want to be approached. Why do you keep telling yourself they don't? Because it's a good excuse for not getting over your anxiety about approaching them?

It's funny how we dismiss every single location as a horrible place to approach women

gym - bad
Bars/clubs - the women are attention whores
when they're at work - Don't wanna bother them
When you're at work - Don't want to risk getting fired
Restaurants - no
Etc...
etc...
Etc...


When are we just gonna say that approaching is horrible?

Why do they go out of their way to show that they hate it?

Although my friends are mostly taken, they're willing to help me meet someone

Everybody in my life wants me to meet someone and they've all tried all they can do - my best friend owns a salon so he's introduced me to all his hairstylists but I seem to be helpless. None of those girls want anything to do with me.

My one friend gets approached by women

My roommate does the same things that everyone else does and has incredible success with it. He approached a beautiful blonde with "hi" once on a dating site and they dated for a while.

I could write an essay about world peace and not get a response, much less a date with an average looking woman online.

Hairstylists? OK, so your much-vaunted high standards don't apply to a prospective date's education level. Thanks for the memo.
