Does this soul-killing reality happen to you often? You're 99.9% sure they're into you and flirting, but once they see how you handle yourself and how you don't swagger, it's over. They back off. This has been my reality since I was fourteen. I used to think they saw something in my appearance that disagreed, but I've long since figured out what it really is. Anyone relate?

Yep haha, I've just turned the lack of swagger into it's own totally goofy nonchalant don't-give-a-f**k-what-you-think swagger. Be all, what, yea I'm goofy n clumsy, wanna fight about it?!?

It's the small talk and flirting that I can't get down..... :?

Of course. It's a difficult spot to get beyond.

Just keep trying and don't be afraid to try something new. If your instinct is to be passive, fight it.

Sick of being let down or rejected by women/men. Choosing the homosexual lifestyle may be a better alternative lifestyle. Do not knock something unless you give it a go.

Sexuality is a lifestyle choice. I believe almost everything in life is a lifestyle choice.

Maybe so. But these choices are there so we can find the lifestyle that we are most naturally inclined toward. Which then begs the question, is it really a choice, or just a discovery?

As far as sexuality goes, if you find it natural to suddenly decide to explore the alternative to your current sexuality, how could it be natural for you to pigeonhole yourself into just another arbitrary category?

If anything I'd say that it would be wise to try talking or flirting with people that aren't so superficial. Might be a more natural course than just saying "no woman likes me I better try men"

Women in today's society are usually superficial. They are mainly attracted to men based on: looks and/or financial success.

Women are far more shallow than men.

I might remind you that it's just as easy to say that men are mainly attracted to women based on their looks too.

Of course, these are both wild generalizations....
