Why does dating advice inspire such contempt?
I find myself tensing up, getting defensive just reading these responses. Yeah, I'm bitter. Yeah, I get very little attention from women and roll my eyes at the way they look for the ever elusive "spark," while passing up a whole slew of good
quality men who I personally know to be awesome people.
But whatever. I'm done trying to argue or convince anyone that I'm a good, decent man who just can't understand or read women and who freezes and clams up in the presence of someone I like. They think I'm weird and nothing I can say or explain will change that. The fact is, they need the spark for it to work. So I'm trying to learn how to interact more effectively and successfully with the opposite sex. Trying not to take things personally: It's not me... It's the way I present myself, after all. Trying to relax and be confident in what I have to offer (harder than it would seem). It would be nice if women would meet me halfway, but I doubt it based on the responses here. So, I trudge on.
