The thing people seem to think is that virgins also don't view women as humans. This again might be true for some virgins but not all. I don't see women as aliens. If anything I have more women friends than man friends. You're pretty spot on about everything you said though. I think something that is important to keep in mind however is we aren't shy with romance because we want to be. I'd assume many bad social situations caused us to become bad whether we realized it at the time or not. I remember one time I actually stood up to one of my bullies back when I was younger. The response? This guy was much bigger than me and he screamed at the top of his lungs, slammed the door open. Ran after me and threw a basketball right at me (he missed) like a fucking madman. He thought I was talking shit or something even though he was making me look like a bitch. Yes. I appear more confident now but bad shit that happen in the past can damage people. The problem? Nobody knows it has happened to you. They just assume you've never tried and have a bad personality or whatever. Funny thing is that guy who did that to me probably isn't even a virgin.

With that said. I do try to smile at women. I just want to find my way and believe I can. I won't give up.
