Do you have problems with the opposite gender?

[MikeyC]

But put me in a situation where I have to approach someone new and try to get them to like me? Nope, can't do it. Anxiety overwhelms rational thought.

That's a real pressure-cooker situation that people who aren't socially anxious couldn't even do.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. And never the twain shall meet.

Perhaps he should move to Venus?

I feel super ugly when I talk to guys, then I feel worthless when I talk to girls.

 

[lonely_drummer]

Oh man I am horrible with girls. I'm so awkward and can't talk to them. I'm in the same boat, if I was just better looking I would maybe have more confidence to not be so awkward.

 

[zruff740]

Yes. Actually, this past weekend I told the girl that I like that I like her. I kind of downplayed it and I'm expecting that she'll tell me she's not interested. It's causing me a lot of anxiety. I can't stop worrying about it, even though I can't control the situation at all.

 

[OceanMist]

I hate men.

This is one of the most sexist things I've ever heard. You hate men?

I don't hate women, but if I wrote "I hate women" on here I would be getting harassed, heavily criticized and maybe even banned just because I'm a guy.

I'm tired of so many people consoling women when the woman insults men and then hating a man when he insults women.

It seems there so much of society is tilted so that women can say whatever they want about genders or dating but when a guy mentions a peep about the same type of stuff, he's told to shut up.

It's weird, if I could go back in time I'd have predicted a life full of solitude and loneliness but I always seem to land on my feet in the relationship department. I find it much easier to have one than to have a friendship. So for me it's like the whole deal is reversed. Although the relationships seldom go smoothly.

Yeah, this is me. I remember thinking at the age of seven that I'd spend my life alone.

Still "land on my feet" may be an overstatement. I've always felt off balance, in relationships or out of them.

 

[Rawz]

Yeah, I'm nervous around girls. I'm nervous around everyone though. But I have a harder time talking to or just being around cute girls.

Although I would say guys 14-21 would be who I'm most nervous around.

I'm most comfortable around middle aged women--women the age of my mother. Is that weird?

 

[SilentBird]

Some, those who play mind games.

I'm most comfortable around middle aged women--women the age of my mother. Is that weird?

Not at all, well at least not to me. I'm a girl (20) but I am most comfortable around middle-aged men who are married.

I have always been able to get along w/ the opposite sex really well compared to women which I am one so go figure. I guess it's because I am not into shoes and shopping (oh so rare an occasion anyway) so that makes me not female i guess? Also I like to curse and get dirty and rough house so girls think I am not girlie enough idk and I don't care anymore. I like guys better anyways.

Hmmm. That makes a good 'type' for me. Not vanity & clothes, jewellery, stilettos or makeup, or buying. Girl who has trainers, jeans, and intelligent
= sexxy.
