I'm not afraid of women. My main problem is that I don't like to inconvenience others if I can help it (for the most part), and so I try to avoid acting like a typical guy, and try to avoid making stupid passes, being loud and arrogant, etc.
Of course, as this means I don't seem very interesting to most girls, I try to not inconvenience them by having to deal with me...
'cause I'm stupid like that.

*sigh*

My girlfriend is too sexual. And I am too sensual. I enjoy a good long conversation in which I may delve the depths of anothers mind. Whereas she openly refuses to talk.

And of course, this all being at the grand old age of 16.

I hear you, friend. I hear you.

What kind of pussy is 'scared' of women?

Seriously, what does one have to fear from a female?

People here cite rejection; don't women as well experience that?

Rabies is the only good reason I can think of personally.

Unless someone does the approaching, they are unlikely to encounter initial rejection. Rejection later perhaps, but not initial rejection.

Being 'rejected' is no reason to fear women.

I've asked guys out before who refused and made up some bullshit line about how they were "too busy" or "involved with someone else".

This is after one of them for example would practically hang over me at a party like every word I said was gold.

We're talking 40 and 50 year old men here. Very sad.

I think a lot of guys rejected me because they were insecure and I was bright; and I didn't fit the tall/skinny/vacuous blond trophy wife stereotype.

I really don't understand the sort of people who find that atractive, but then again i like smart people.

I've never had much of a problem talking to women, as exhibited by the fact that the vast majority of my friends are female. That being said I am also known as "the safe one" in short, if one of my female friends walked up naked, i would offer clothes and a cup of tea.

Well, it's often said; 'men propose, women dismiss'. It's quite commonly felt by men that we're the ones that we're the ones that're supposed to parade around and try and catch someone's attention, while the women watch on and judge us.. that's a great deal of pressure.

I don't know if this helps, but many women feel similarly... I mean, we don't wear high heels 'cuz they're comfortable

Seriously, I was a pretty goofy looking girl in high school, so I do know how unfair physical standards can feel, and how much pressure there is to look good and succeed, etc. It definitely goes both ways. She's probably just as insecure as you are. (Not that you are necessarily insecure, I'm speaking generally here!)
