Actually, on reflection, if you're in a position where you could utilize a wingman, you're way beyond me socially.

That could work lol. Having the really social wingman to help you out, and you help him by making him look like a nice guy for taking his shy friend out. ::p:

My grandparents are fighting. They never fight : /

Ohhh, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it's not too serious - otherwise I'm sure they'll make it up soon. My parents don't fight often, but when they do it's pretty worrying, because my mum makes weird threats and walks out. She always comes back though and even if she won't talk to my dad for the rest of the night, it's always back to normal around here within a couple of days. If your grandparents are anything at all like my parents, I wouldn't worry about it. People sometimes say things that they don't mean when they get angry.

I hope they stop fighting soon.

Sorry if I'm being presumptuous and nosy, but if he hit on you, and got angry and insulted you because you rejected him, then he was never a friend to begin with. Not saying true friends can't develop feelings for one another, but true friends will always put your feelings above their own. I don't put much stock in "pretend friends" (people who have ulterior motives to be your "friend") because they're just looking out for themselves and don't give a lick about what you want.

If the argument was over something political or religious, and/or some current event though, well, unfortunately some people are incapable of discussing such things in a respectable manner without resorting to ad hominems. I've known a few acquaintances like that, and I just refused to ever engage them in those kinds of talks. It just wasn't worth it.

Anyway, I hope whatever the conflict is between you and your "friend" gets resolved soon. Good luck!

The conflict was him wanting something from me.. And that's the story of my life. Trust me I do know they don't seem like real friends. Happens to me all the time. People are friends with me to have sex with me or have a relationship with me or anything inbetween. Something I just have to learn to deal with. Makes no sense and makes me damn mad. One friend told me the other day "if you ever need to talk about anything you know I am 110% interested because you're so hot" so yeah that's great. People usually don't care about me having this problem with guys cause they think I'm complaining about attention, but It really ends up making you feel like worthless crap, no one cares what's on the inside

Which is why I don't trust anyone enough to call them 'friend'. Everyone is just an acquaintance. Just someone I happen to know... but I'm sure I only know them because they decided they wanted something from me.
It's hard to take people seriously and to imagine their feelings are at all genuine and pure-- I get it.
A sad truth.

Then what's the point to anything? If no one can or really wants to see past what you look like.. Or does it simply mean there's nothing there to see, in which case, what am I doing here! So sad that life has to be structured this way.

Luckily-- it's only humans who judge other humans based on their appearance.
There's so much more to dedicate your life to if you can't find a reason to live for human beings.
Live for yourself so you can discover what's out there.
^ I wish I could, haha- but when I think of living for myself, I wonder if I'm even worth it? Probably not. That is how I feel.

Yesterday I was feeling completely overwhelmed. I'm living in a new city, I'm having a hard time finding friends, and my life feels very stagnant. My weakness is women. I will do anything for them, especially if they are physically attractive. And when the one I've been making progress with pretty much ignored me, my world came crashing down. I admit it's pathetic. I wish I could better understand myself when it comes to women. I suppose it's just experience.

Today though I feel much calmer. I always write when I feel completely overwhelmed and venting my frustrations really puts my mind at ease.

It's when I hear things like this that I actually feel embarrassed to be a man. ::(: I'm cringing at the thought that anyone could actually open their mouths and say something like that. How could anyone fail to be offended and patronised by a comment like that?

@EnigmatiConduit- Yeah thats one of the trade offs to being attractive to a large number of people. Yeah it may make more people be nice to you, but on the other hand, they may care very little about who you are as a person. You would run into the same problem if you were rich. But the fact that you're emotionally vulnerable puts a big bulls-eye on you. Once you become more confident and independent people will be less able to use you for anything.
