I just cut a comment from, I believe, Dave, that is to the point.
Dave, I believe, expressed a complaint most of us males have. He says he talks to girls, listens to girls, and girls like to talk to him but he is sick and tired of their treating him like a talking buddy instead of a red-blooded guy who, like any straight man, has more hopes than a conversation.
I have talked about how inept we males are, because I have lived with that. But this is a case where WOMEN are just plain stupid.
It is the exact reverse of our mistake of being Macho Men with THEM. Us straight guys want to know that we are attractive to women. Women consider it a victory if we do NOT bed them, but it goes further than that. Women like to insist that none of us are good enough for them.
This is not a new problem. Many types of male BIRDS offer the female a little present when they are courting hem, like a fish or a piece of seaweed. The female bird usually refuses to accept it the first time. I have a strong feeling that this behavior was not invented yesterday.
In fact I think it goes back, literally, to the time birds had teeth and dinosaurs were at their peak.
So women are always bitching to each other that men don’t talk to them or listen to them. Then they treat a man who DOES like a eunuch.
But on the plus side, if you are on a first date, the best way to get a real relationship going is to just listen and listen and listen.
EVERY conversation with an attractive girl should include an invitation to meet for cup of coffee or a beer. Take the first refusals routinely.
One of them will eventually accept that bit of seaweed, or there wouldn’t be any birds left.

Bob, you can call me Dave all you want. I screwed up and forgot to add no spam at the top, the important thing is you saw the main point of my comment.

I think that you need to realize that with the younger set, the problem is worse because they are the first generation who has been RAISED as no difference equals. They even have to take gym classes together for crying out loud.

“…if you are on a first date, the best way to get a real relationship going is to just listen and listen and listen.”
This is total bullshi*. The best way to get the reltaionship going is to get her drunk, drunk, drunk, and listen to her giggle, giggle, giggle. I can tell you have had far less experience with women than the average red blooded american.

I have talked to women (when I felt like it) and listened to them (all the time) all my life and they’ve never treated me like a eunuch. In fact, they have almost always moved on me. Yes, I said moved on me. I have no idea what it is. It’s quite disgusting. They won’t leave me alone. They keep moving on me. No, Bob, they never treated me like a eunuch. I tried to act like one but it didn’t work. They moved on me anyway. Women are smart. A lot smarter than me. They seem to know what they want. Come to think of it I guess you could say that they also know what they don’t want.
Of course, women, like men, aren’t all the same.
Oh, I heard that thought. You think I think I’m God’s gift to women. Well, I’m not. Not by a long shot. I don’t think there are any secrets. Just be yourself, be natural never strained and that’s all there is to it. In my opinion.
Whoops! I gotta go. There’s some woman knocking on my door. I’m slipping out the back door. See ya.
