It is estimated that more than 90 % (!) of all men would not approach a woman because of this fear.

This emotion is considered to be overwhelming by men. Women on the other hand do not seem to bother with this men having this because those men are simply dismissed as "not interested in me" or "not having enough confidence" to approach therefore not attractive.

I wonder:

1) Where is the fear of rejection coming from?

2) What is the best way to deal with it?

3) Do women have the right attitude towards men when failing to approach because of this fear?

both of them have no ability to think beyond what they were condition to believe in.

my dad however, despite being as dumb as it gets, always attempts to teach and show other people the way, i guess it's because he was the only one of 5 siblings to had some college education. dumbass flunked out though.

his second oldest brother, though, doesn't say much, and seems like a wise old fellow.

i feel depressed. what are the chances that you put 2 morons together and the kid would be able to escape the dumb gene. ]]> Relationships oahz http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694861 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694273&goto=newpost Wed, 29 May 2013 04:46:06 GMT Hello, I am a very introverted person and usually enjoy one or two close friends.

My whole school life I perhaps had just 2 or 3 close friends.
In college ofcouse I lost in touch of them and was all lonely. But it didn't mind me. I was busy in my studies and enjoying it.

This month I had my vacation and visited my cousins after a long time. My sisters showed such love and care for me that now that I returned home I feel a growing urge to have some close friends, hang out and share things.

I don't know why I am no longer happy with no close friends and no social life. I want to return to my previous state when I was happy alone. Is it really important to have close friends? ]]> Relationships jd12345 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694273 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694203&goto=newpost Tue, 28 May 2013 18:51:52 GMT I have been with my girlfriend for about a year and 7 months.

I love her and feel very emotionally attached to her and her to me. But recently I have been attracted to this other girl.

I don't really talk to the other girl because I fear that if I do I'll become more attracted to her. She's also out of my league.

I told my gf about it, and we currently took a break to see if I forget the other girl, but I just can't seem to be able to. I've been attracted to other girls in the past and fear it will happen again.

Point is girls cause me trouble, they seem to be my weakness. Should I tell my girlfriend that we grew apart, or is there still some hope? ]]> Relationships Julio R http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694203 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694153&goto=newpost Tue, 28 May 2013 13:10:51 GMT A 34 year old man in the tv - series "Virgin Diaries" claims to have been on 200 dates by the age of 24 and has no succes in laying with anyone of these women. Setaside the questionability whether the show is fake or not: is this possible?

We all know dating is a numbers game so for him to have been on 200 dates requires approaching thousands (!) of women. I find it highly unlikely that after approaching that many women he would have no succes. He claims to have made out with 11 women of those 200 dates. I have to be honest I haven't watched the show but only clips from it but looking at these clips he has virtually no problem approaching and talking to a woman.

What do you guys think? Is he for real? ]]> Relationships dirk_mec1 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=694153 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=693815&goto=newpost Sun, 26 May 2013 16:59:06 GMT Hello.

I am in need of anonymous, unbiased, 3rd party internet advice. :)

How do you know when it is time to say when?
Not going to go into vicious detail, but I broke up with my BF of over a year (we are both 21 year old college students), and then changed my mind, tried to come back and we ended up in purgatory. I still care about him a lot. But I something deters me from fully getting back together and I can't place it, yet I can't break it off.

We were partners in crime. I'm always scheming, and he is always encouraging me. When I had an obsession with mountaineering, he bought me a new ruck pack and we hiked. When I had an obsession with aviation, we on a whim went and took helicopter piloting lessons.

But something is not there anymore and it is painful to realize this. How do I let go? And how do I even know it's the right thing to do? ]]> Relationships CherryTrooper http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=693815
