I wish I could be nice and generous, but I got into my head that most attractive women don't respond to that. I think that started when I read my first PUA material based around being 'cocky & funny'. I feel like total crap and conflicted. I have this attitude of "society hasn't given me a girlfriend, so society can fuck off". Yeah, my entitlement is pretty extreme.
Today I saw this really homely but still fertile and attractive red haired girl in the laundromat reading a book, dressed down in a tee shirt but wow, that body. We exchanged glances and that was it. I didn't dare do more, because I have this idea in my head that if I approach ANY girl, it's "creepy, predatory, unwanted" etc. And I didn't want to embarrass myself around the old and ugly people in that laundromat for whatever reason or face some type of fictional persecution if I express interest in a lone female. Even if I could tell she was into me because she held the eye contact longer while I was folding clothes, it's like there was an invisible barrier so I got mad and left.
It's fucking ridiculous. 1. women are NOT flirting anymore and are NOT open and friendly, thus signalling men to approach and 2. men are creep shamed if they do try to nudge a girl to the next step of an interaction. I have to keep reminding myself of my own attractiveness, that I actually am attractive and well dressed, I'm much better off than most people around here and have plenty to offer.
I did get good rapport going with a female store clerk today who was into me and laughing, but 35+ so maybe that's why she still had social skills from a past era. This is all making me frustrated and any expectations I have are being destroyed. Another hot young woman who was socially inept interrupted me and her coworker helping me in a store trying to get my attention obviously but not in a direct way, so nothing came of that either.
And I started Stage 2 today. Woopty-doo.
