That's a pretty pessimistic evaluation of the situation if I may say so. I don't think the odds are quite that bad, perhaps, maybe 1/100 -- which is workable.moonshadow wrote:I'd estimate out of 1,000 women, maybe one might be okay with her boyfriend/husband wearing a "women's" skirt. Since the balance of sex power remains in the woman's favor, (we are the chasers, they are the chased) I don't expect this to change any time soon. Most men just want to get laid.... that's it, that's their reason for living, and they're not going to bother with anything that hurts their chances in that endevour.
I have very little trouble starting conversations with women, but the problem is that altogether too many of them don't acquit themselves well at it which puts me off the scent. I'm vastly more interested in finding a smart one (smart ones are vastly more likely to be forward-thinkers) than a classic "beauty". Classic beauty tends to fade with time; a powerful mind, unless something goes very wrong, tends to last a lifetime. Being the sort that cherishes good companionship much more than a simple swapping of bodily fluids, I'd rather go for brains and capability than cute and coyness. Real dolts self-select out very quickly so I don't have to worry about it, and the worst thing that can possibly happen from trying to start up a conversation is nothing -- which is what would have happened if an attempt wasn't made in the first place.
So the odds are long -- they always will be. Be happy with yourself, try in all matters to leave things a bit better than when you arrived, and be good to others. That pays off in the long haul. Furthermore, I'll point out that it's frequently better to be by yourself than with somebody that's a bad match; I learnt that the hard way in the years before my ex-'s ultimate demise.
