Being a naturally shy, whimpy, awkward unmanly guy

Post Reply New Topic

I attendeded a travelling in high risk areas training session last week. The advice for dealing with muggers is to always carry a ten dollar note in your jacket pocket. If you get mugged, give it to the mugger and say, "this is all I have." They'll grab it and scarper.

This advice came from a man who had been in the army. If my guy fought a mugger I'd think he was an idiot

That's pretty good advice. Though there's always a risk that the mugger du jour grabs something of yours at random as a parting gamble, like a purse or some jewelry.

Still better than getting stabbed. You can cancel your credit cards quicker than a stab wound can heal.

You’re an inovert though. Retrogsmer posted about how his gf got in a accident and was mad he didn’t defender her, most here agreed he should have stayed and defended her.
Most people still think a guy should defend his lady.
I’m incapable of physical defending myself non less a lady, so it’s another red flag against me. I also am non violent so I would not attack someone for something they said to my lady. We also come from different cultures and nations. It’s common here for men to get in fights over so,e insult to their lady. Thst one guy got shot recently trying to defend his gf who was fighting with a guy over a parking spot. He felt he needed to physical attack a guy for fighting with his gf.
Another reason I’m afraid to ask women in public is if they have a bf there’s good chance he’ll hit me for flirting with his woman.

Diffence between a robber and muggler is muggle roughs you up or kills yiu. Robber just takes your money and leaves. Thief’s will grab your item and run.

Nothing whatsoever. In fact, I'd commend it. But speaking as a fairly masculine guy; if one takes a look at oneself and does not like what's there, the least manly thing to then do is to give up and wallow in self-pity. Better then to either work on improving your percieved flaws, or find ways to work around them. Earnest striving for self-improvement is a masculine virtue in and of itself.

Not if you keep calling yourself that.

She got into an argument with a guy. She wasn't in any physical danger.

So? Some women want the man to defend them not just physically.
Whole “you’re suppose to always take my side”

I didn't want to take her side. She may have been wrong anyway. I've got no time for nepotism.

Well some women aren’t going like that.

Oh, I posted in the wrong thread. Ignore me.

Ok. So this is making me think i really do have a chance at something good with my introvert guy. Yeah I kniow i just made this about me, but i feel like i dont have much of an edge over other women, why would he want me... because I accept him for who he is

I bet you anything he gets distracted by someone prettier and goes out with her instead even though she talks too much and wants too much attention and won't give him any peace and tries to change how he dresses. That's what always happens. Men don't want the quiet girls either.

If by "quiet" you mean "don't give the men any attention", then yeah, they're not going to want you. Men like attention.

I don't understand men. Why do you want to attract women that you're not compatible with? Is it just for sex? Do real connections mean nothing to you? Do you want someone that's always pulling you up for how you are and trying to change you just for sex? Is it really worth it?

I recall she said she invited the guy several times, that should be an obvious attention.
