Yeah, I’ve had so many unpleasant experiences with that stuff from even before I was 18 that I tend to be wary of people who use the cold approach at all unless it’s a mutual thing. I typically prefer being friends with someone first. Based on his previous experiences over the years, it might be a good idea for Jamesy to focus on having more friends, especially female ones. A friendship could turn into a relationship or he could meet a friend of a friend.
Are you volunteering to be Jamesy's friend?
Jamesy, it is your lucky day. TP might be sliding into your DM's?

The mere fact that I’m a woman says nothing about who I would or wouldn’t choose to be my friend.
In general, I think it would help people form relationships with women if they had female friends, but that’s already been addressed by FXE and me earlier in the thread. I’m a bit puzzled why you quoted/responded to me in this fashion unless your sole goal was to mock me.

I wasn't mocking you.
I was just making humour of the fact that you seemed to be giving advice on Jamesy making female friends, but you also didn't offer to be his friend.
I was just teasing. I do know that you can give that kind of advice, whilst also having reasons not to be everybody's friend.

If Jamesy wants a female friend I think he should pick someone that doesn't take herself too seriously and has humour.
It doesn't sound like he will be picking anyone, but I agree with the sentiment.

Context is key.
I think that, perhaps, most of us could strive to avoid judging people as swiftly as we do. It leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings.

More of an aspirational goal than a real thing eh?

I suppose it would depend on the individual. We all have different personal goals and aspirations. It’s not a bad idea at least as far as WP is concerned though.
