I’ve been thinking about the difference between girls and guys. Aside from the obvious I mean. From my perspective, A guy can never really be friends with a girl, either he likes her, and wants to get into her pants, or he really isn’t interested. It’s a strange thing how guys are always stereotyped as being interested in one thing, but I tend to think that’s ok.
So the other night I went out to a party with my wife, it was the Saturday before Guy Fawkes, and so there was fireworks, and a bunch of people were invited over to celebrate at a friend of mine’s. Anyway this guy works in a call centre, so he knows a bunch of women. Great angle if you use it, but he doesn’t. Anyway for as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in interaction with other people, especially how some guys seem to get all the girls. So I try to figure out what it is that these guys do, and do it myself. I do this when I’m out at a party, particularly if I don’t know a bunch of people there. This is what I think about a great majority of the time.
Anyway the bread and butter of my routine right now is getting me into interactions with women, you have to start somewhere right? so about for the last year I’ve been trying to get over what some people call approach anxiety. I was living in Wellington where the public transport is really good, and so some days when I had some courage, I’d sit next to a hot chick (or any chick), and try to get myself to start a conversation. This gets easier I promise. I’m not 100%, but I don’t feel like I want to puke when I talk to a strange woman any more. In fact it’s a real buzz when you have a great interaction with a woman.
I’m pretty sure women don’t think about things like this so much, so I guess that’s another difference between guys and girls.
