• Why do I, as a desperate male, lonely and horney level desperate, stave of the attention of females when I’m not the one leading the charge? One of my peak experiences was visiting Torquay on an undergrad uni field trip walking with the sexiest girl I’d ever met. A busker was playing ‘I’m a believer’ at a market. It was magical. After the field trip she invited me to a coffee date - I agreed. I never took the initiative from there, and nothing happened. I had spent a week fantasising about her and enjoying her company, but her sexual aggression was somewhat intimidating. The same happened with someone I struggle to appreciate, recently, a girl who flirts with me on an ongoing basis.
