Struggles with women

[Bingo-Player]

Most of my male friends either lack the emotional maturity to connect with women beyond basic physical attraction or are way too needy

I have a LTR atm but previously I would be guilty of placing way way too much expectation on women I barely knew ,

Getting sexual too quickly was also a problem I now realise that women have a very good radar for how much a guy wants / needs sex if she detects that in you she can start playing games because she knows your hooked

Agreed.
@Bingo-Player, you see that play and reverse-Uno.
You make intimacy their idea

I wouldn’t say there are many, but the biggest shortcomings I’ve seen are guys being too relationship-focused—thinking they have to act like a boyfriend just to get to the fun stage.

One mistake I was guilty of myself was setting the bar too high. I let a lot of women go because I only wanted the ones everyone else wanted—the social butterflies. I still kick myself for that sometimes, but nowadays I tend to give women what they’re looking for.

Right now, I don’t see many issues in my circle, but I’d say some can become shy or too outcome-dependent. There’s also the fact that some have little sense of style or can be very sloppy.
