Yes and No
I agree we SPics are pretty strong to be able to face the things we face day-to-day. But I always found some way, when I possibly could, to maintain low visibility. I suspect others do the same. We often fail to assert ourselves in personal or professional situations, even when we're out there trying.
As a male, and having read quite a bit on the subject, it's the woman who generally controls the interactions with males. They signal availability in very subtle way, through body langauge for example. This is not a conscious deception---it's simply built into women. Men react to these signals with their own body language, thinking incorrectly that they are the assertive ones. Our course, as SPics I suspect we often fail to signal our interest in an obviously available female. The female may see us as uninterested or unassertive ( perhaps weak ). We often fail to compete for an available female. Not sure what people think about this. I suppose a SPic female may be unable or unwilling to signal availability in the very subtle ways they normally do. Again these signals are very subtle, but the male is programmed to recognize them and act. Let's face it. We SPics tend to hide, do things to keep people away from us.
Speaking for myself. I've pumped iron and exercised vigorously at times. I looked great, but I still rarely had the confidence to assert myself even then. Now, I'm weak, scared, isolated, lonely, depressed. Yet, I cannot break ou of this or even bring myself to _try_ to meet the love of my life--but this love is all fantasy anyway. The very unpleasant, unhappy reality that I _must_ live with is that I will never see this person, talk to her, meet her, or get to know her in any way. I'm still working my way through this--better to live in an unpleasant reality than a foolish delusion.
