Is it normal that i suck so badly at getting (and keeping) girls in my life

Im 27 never had a gf. I am skinny,average height, not bad looking but not super sexy or chiseled either.

Problem is despite my best efforts over many years i just SUCK. AT GETTING, GIRLS.

Ive met a lot of girls over the years and had many uncomfortable interactions. They are all a little different but i usually end up shooting myself in the foot somehow. I am too insensitive, or too uncool, or too uninteresting, or too awkward, or too inexperienced, or too arrogant, or too blah blah blah.... Sometimes it even feels like i cannot conpletely control the stupid things that i say. I will start regretting stuff i have said or done within minutes or hours even. I overthink everything and feel insecure about myself but never sure how to be truly confident which everyone says i need to be.

In the past i have tried working out, socializing more, changing my clothes, changing my mannerisms, etc. i end up with very few real dates and the ones that i do get dont make it past second or third encounter. I feel extremely inadequate as a result.

I am not technically a virgin, i have had sex and a few other brief sexual encounters, but they were all basically one or two time events. Nothing that lasted, nothing long term.

I just cant seem to get it right. And now im turning into a sad bitter depressed weak guy who lives on his own and does not have many hobbies or a social life.

    It would benefit you if your life outside of women was rewarding.

    Also stop giving a fuck about what they think. They're just people. Just like you, except with different parts. Talking to girls should be no different than talking to anyone else. Stop playing games.

      i know that you are correct but its not easy for me to do this.

      girls are different than guys, they walk around in tight dresses with boobs hanging out and tons of makeup on and they live totally different lives than me

      if it comes down to just treating them like anyone else then i do not think i would want to know any of them. i am not gay but i have never met any girls that are really more interesting than any of the guys i have known. They tend to be dumber, more superficial, and boring. i was never able to have genuinely fun conversations with them about things that interest me, like stock market investing or saying what i really mean about other people. If i say things that are even slightly sexist or racist or mean hearted (even if i dont think it is) or anything then girls just ignore me or walk away, so i end up walking on eggshells around them

      Plus from my experience they do not respond the same as guys that i have known in my life. It seems like they only stick around if i am displaying certain alpha behaviors whereas guys i have known do not give a shit about anything like that

        You see. You keep justifying yourself by saying it's the only way, it's the only way to get there approval. Stop seeking their approval. The girls you are trying to impress are simple bitches.

        If you're purposefully aiming for women who keep their appearance like that then you're failing. Plain and simple.

    Get comfortable in your skin. Learn to flirt. Learn not to care.

    Be yourself!! Don't TRY so hard to change YOU. Be true to yourself and you will be more comfortable, less awkward, and you will attract the right people!
