Or, this thread is rational?


OP, I have lots of compassion for your shyness. Feel better? No?

I suggest a fresh cup of coffee and a sandwich while you are reading.

Brad Pitt Bingo!!!

Why do you sad sacks always jealously hold up Brad Pitt as a banner for male attractiveness? Does that example come from those "manosphere" websites? The guy is OLD now! Few women in their 20s would find him attractive. women in their 40s, maybe...

Using this knee jerk example demonstrates your insular close-mindedness and tendency to parrot what you read, no matter how outdated the ideas. Time to live in the modern world.

I have been rejected by a lot of women. My shyness was never the reason I was rejected.

Most people have seen the change. Most people understand the change. Many women have gone through the change themselves. And yet, most people can't connect the fact that this change has altered the dynamics in men/women relationships. Men haven't had to change but women have had to. They have become stronger, equal, educated, and can play football, and fight in combat just like men. Women are now men- they are equal.

Women are now women who are equal. Being a man is not the default setting for society.

You do not understand the basic principles of attraction. No one gets "hot" because a guy engenders our sympathy. If they DO feel sympathy for you, the chances that they would ALSO be turned on by you is unlikely.

Does your arousal level for a woman go up if you feel sorry for them? The problem is you are for some reason assuming female sexual arousal is different than males, but it's not. Women want men they are hot for just like men do.

Well in fairness some men think that shy women are just " frigid " so........ im sure they could argue about compassion
