I need someone to explain this to me. I’m going to do my best to avoid venting. Here me out til the actual question.
Women are not nice to me, generally. Those that I do manage to hang out with ghost pretty quickly. Sometimes I see women showing genuine interest in men they clearly don’t know. I rarely experience this myself. Just a complete lack of effort. And I know what you’re thinking. Before you envision the author of this as an overweight, scruffy, computer hermit, that’s not me. Pretty normal guy. I can make most people laugh. I’m in shape.
When I do see it, and manage to bargain for time, we will hang out once and then they will disappear.
I am going somewhere with this…
This is true regardless of whether I have interest in dating or just being friends.
Here’s the kicker.
I noticed they (the distant, ghosty types) are all single. I have a few “close” female friends. They are ALL taken. After thinking about this I began to notice that, in conversations with female strangers, nice = taken. Romantic interest or not.
My questions are a) why does it seem so hard to form a relationship of any type with women over men?
b) has anybody else observed that single women are less likely to become your friend than those in committed relationships?
What the hell is going on? Forming friendships with guys is hard, but with women, holy shit. God forbid I would ever want more than that.
