Charlatan, you are probably right about me being "non-threatening", and I would also add androgynous.
MechCow, I think I know what you mean, and I think it goes with what Charlatan said about being non-threatening. Could you explain what you mean by putting them on a pedestal with regards to my bitterness?
So, um, how do I stop being overly-respectful and androgynous? I try my best to tease girls, and they often respond with this shocked look on their face, hit me on the arm and then laugh (for example). I tried to learn a lot from interacting with girls I don't find attractive, the ones that don't 'put me under their spell' so to speak, and I have to say that it's like night an day. The problem is that my mind often draws blanks when I'm around attractive women, especially during the first minute or so. It's during this time I find myself "flying by the instruments" and relying on socially acceptable polite talk. Once the converstation starts to flow, I'm ok, but by then I've made a bad first impression.
