I only talk to guys with cocks bigger than 10 inches, and yes, I demand proof before the conversation gets started.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Okay, People...
PERSPECTIVE...
(A YOUNG member bares his soul. Whom of US was cool at 20??? Not me, for sure...)
The key word here is ATTRACTIVE.
I bat WAY FUCKING WAY outside the park, and always have. I am NOT a good-looking guy, never have been. (Evidence available on this site!!!) But I AM ATTRACTIVE... Why?
Well, I'm basically a good guy. I'm VERY VERY funny. I'm quite smart. I have opinions I can talk about. I'm kind and I care for others. I'm TALENTED in a way that others seem impressed by. (I think it's just shit I do...) I have a certain style that, to be honest, puts some people off. But I carry it. (I am BEYOND insecure...) But that don't PLAY in the real world so you adapt... I, (and this is REALLY IMPORTANT!!!) love women. My best friends, (with a few exceptions...) are women. I'm in my 50s NOW, but I've always been FASCINATED and pleased by females. I AM NOT IN ANY WAY a "man's man"... (I know FUCK ALL about cars, GOLF or FOOTBALL or MEN STUFF!!!!) I can talk about nail varnish for hours...
I'm NOT the straightest guy in the world, but I'm straight. (?)
I'm not HALF as confident as I PRETEND. (But I pretend very well...) And this is interesting, 'cos where is THAT LINE, from SEEMING confident to BEING confident? (Fucked if I know...) But WOMEN value confidence above EVERY OTHER TRAIT in a man! (NOT arrogance, as someone said above, but a quiet self-assuredness...)
We all are unsure about a lot of things. About others, about ourselves indeed. There are NO PAT ANSWERS. Except ONE...
"TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE..."
I think it was VERY BRAVE of this young man to talk about his issue in public. He spoke HONESTLY, perhaps too honestly, but I think he sounds like a nice-if-perplexed young man.
I wish him well.

Nicola: "Since WHEN are YOU nice???"
Me: "Fuck You. I'm cunting nice..."
There are several traits in people which can be attractive.
Physical looks are only one. If you married a model, and she was tragically disfigured, would you stop loving her?
This is a very shallow topic and matches the age of the OP. So the implied answer is that the OP is shallow, and people attractive or otherwise can read that.
I generally feel for the OP, I really do.
I've been on the receiving end of a few men trying to strike up a conversation cold. It's not easy and it's something that, as a woman, I've never needed to do, THANK GOD!
Realising how terrifying a prospect of starting a conversation must be, I've always endeavoured to be nice. Unfortunalty, some men see this as a open invitation to get a little friendlier. So, I understand why some women are immediately cold or in some cases cruel. It's not nice but sometimes, some men, refuse or are unable to read the subtle ( or not so subtle as the case may be) signals of a woman's disinterest.
Timing is everything, it's crucial. If women are in a group, laughing, having a great time, I'm assuming that men see this and want to join in...don't. Under no circumstances; it's like falling on a live grenade, messy.
Of course, this is dependent on the situation, girls on the prowl at a club will be more than willing to meet new people.
Women in groups, generally don't want men approaching, we are out having fun with our friends and to be approached by a man without any warning will generally result in simple answers and an attitude. I'm not saying this is right, but in general that's what you will get.
Some posters have mentioned meeting people through other friends; I have to echo this sentiment. When you're in a social situation where you're open and willing to meet new people, most women will take the time to involve themselves in conversation.
Of course looks play an important part in our initial attraction to someone. Its naive and rather silly to assume otherwise and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I'm sure you do it too, Lovingher17. But let me tell you, if you can make a woman laugh, be genuinely nice, looks will cease to be something she is focusing on. By all means change your style, there is nothing wrong with improving ones looks, but if your attitude is wrong, it will make little difference in the long run.
i think you may need to take a step back and seriously think about your approach.
You may think you're coming across as charming and interesting, but perhaps it's falling a little closer to being uncomfortable for those women you're approaching. Just think about it for a moment from her side.
She is with friends, they're having a fun time and then out of no where a man comes and injects himself into her conversation...
Anyway, something to think about.
One last point, you're dealing with young, immature women, not necessarily a nice species from memory; to men or each other. Give it time, hopefully they'll mature and you'll gain the skills needed to meet on a more level playing field.
Op....you might also want to look into improving your own body language.
