>start meeting people in real life.

Depends on the country and person I guess. When I did try approaching women a few times, it was 10% angry looks, 30% awkward, 30% basic polite conversation to fulfill social obligation, and 30% friendly conversation. Unfortunately I'm not keen enough to pursue that 30% of friendly conversations by wading through the rest.

I know right? And tech is such a male-dominated industry, so presence of a female in your proximity is a rare event by itself. But, even if such an event occurs, as you said, interacting with a female is one hell of a minefield. Honestly, at this point, I cannot blame people for choosing to be gay. It is just so much easier to just talk to men, because you don't have to worry about all those mind games.

Its worth it to practice people skills. Maybe try signing up for public speaking classes or some other form of story telling?

What? There’s more to life than approaching women. The best relationships I had were due to friends hooking me up.

Frankly, your entire approach is wrong and kinda sad tbh

If you want to live life on your own terms, and don’t want to interact with people, you’re _not gonna get to interact with people_
