You misunderstand me.
I have plenty of friends. I want a girlfriend.
Yes, which supports what I said about it sending the message to a female that if she doesn't wanna be your gf, she can buzz off.
That's one of the best ways I know of to make yourself look like a jerk to a woman (from a woman's point of view).
I understand what Eve's saying. Which is also the vibe that I got from you, Leaning. It's almost like, if you don't get what you want from them, then you don't care about them - regardless of if they remain a friend to you. But just because a couple of people on a forum pick on that sense from you, doesn't mean everyone will. What we say isn't law, but we're just simply telling you what we're observing. As females, you can't deny that our words to you don't have
any weight to them at all, yeah? No, we don't speak for
every woman, and we'll never claim to, but our two cents are worth a little something-something towards how women may view you.
Also, that really wasn't word for word. She said what you
said was sexist, not that
you were. You're extremely quick to jump to defend yourself, when there's nothing to defend, and you often times end up putting your foot into mouth. I'm not trying to be mean, so forgive me, but perhaps you need to calm down, slow down, and pay attention more carefully. I sometimes read too quickly myself, and have to re-read things several times.
