You're a single guy: you've been
single for a while (weeks, months or maybe even years), maybe you're still
looking for your first girlfriend, maybe you're replacing the one that got
away. But approaching a lady that interests you turns your insides out,
and adding in the nervous twitches, the sweating (and other uncontrollable
bodily functions) you are a physical and mental wreck when a girl appears
that you'd really like to meet and you find that you haven't the guts
to even ask her what her name is!
You are not alone.
Stepping out from your "safe place"
- the one that involves no one but yourself, after all you can't
disappoint yourself enough that you won't hang out with you, right? - and
being with people, especially those of the opposite sex, causes much
anguish for many thousands of men, in very possible circumstance, in every
ordinary happenings in every ordinary day.
This is because of your fear of new
things. It is not because of your fear of commitment, although family and
friends may try to convince you of that. Heck, you've had relationships
and they were going well, as long as they lasted. But once they ended you
just decided that you needed some time to heal, to "get your life straight
again". You lied to yourself about your emotional state so that you could
avoid meeting new women and being confronted by the fear you now have of
new things. And it has continued for so long that you don't know how to
start meeting girls again.
You need a new you.
A new reason to get out there and be
able to meet women. Maybe a good opening line or a funny joke to break the
ice. Maybe a new attitude,
a new way to look at yourself as others can se you rather than how you think they see you.
New ways to help you gain the
confidence that you once had and want to so desperately have again.
Reasons why men shouldn't be
afraid of women:
- Women are only people too, with
the same faults that you might have, despite what they may say
- Women put their pants on one leg
at a time, just like you do (when they wear pants!)
- The women you meet probably make
less that you do (workplace discrimination is alive and well,
unfortunately)
- A man just has to keep himself
clean, daily baths or showers, appropriate amounts of deodorant and
clean clothes, women have to "fix their faces" every day and sometimes
more than once a day
- A guy always knows which shoes to
wear
- Guys know that fast food
restaurants and drive-thrus were created to allow for more time for
bowling and playing pool, women think it was to help them get out of the
kitchen
- Men know that its more serious
when your bartender cuts you off than when your credit card company does
- A great car does not make the man
but it usually makes the woman
- Man hunts, woman gathers - man
buys new belt, woman diets
- A guy is ready for his picture to
be taken at any time!
- Women need men - heterosexual
women anyways
