This time of year is my favourite...


i love Christmas time... but today I’m struggling bad. Weirdly I just can’t seem


to connect or strike a friendship with women. I’m not really sure why. Any males around? :(

Guy here, as my avatar would indicate, though my beard's white but not quite as long and I don't have a sword.

I envy you; Christmas isn't my favorite as it's when my foo (family of origin) violence usually put the hurt on me, as I explained in a long post here just today.

Sorry you're struggling, but you;'re not alone. Much support to you, and glad you're here.

I am not male, but I share your difficulty in bonding with women. As an adolescent and young adult, the absence of females in the field was one of the most compelling reasons for pursuing a career in engineering and science. I have only recently begun questioning my prejudice, but still haven't gotten too far in hurdling those prejudices.

Hey Loo,
Woman here, hope that’s okay. Just dropping off a bunch of hugs. Don’t know what the struggle is but if you need to vent, you know where the message button is. Hope whatever it is gets better soon so you can enjoy the season you like. More triple hugs~

Men usually make socialising with them easy to do

I'm with you on finding women harder to connect with, but have spent many years with women since I realised I wasn't bothering and it was ok

Mmm
