My son put it more succinctly: “just treat women like human beings, and it all falls into place.” Seriously, all the dominoes fall once you do that. Have give-and-take conversations with women, treat them with respect, actually get to know them…and then it become super-easy to engage with and attract women you’re interested in because guess what? You’ve already run the drill. The boy has several female friends. They do things together, make each other laugh, trust and help each other. That’s the foundation for any healthy relationship, including an intimate one. I mean, does it frustrate me that he just thinks of that super-cute and smart Sarah from Manchester as just a friend? Sure. But the flip side of that is that she’s one of his biggest advocates, looks out for him, speaks well of him to other women, etc. The bigger umbrella problem here is what is pointed out above: these dudes have no social skills AT ALL. They can’t even engage in decent relationship with other guys.
