I (like to) think I'm a good conversationalist, but meeting women has become a big problem for me. I work in a male-dominated environment, so there's little opportunity during the day.

I've tried joining clubs, but I the 2 I've joined in the past have been disappointing due to their clique-ish nature. I try to become friendly, but it comes off as very fake (in my opinion) and generally sounds like small talk.

I'm not a big fan of bars either. It's weird because in pretty much any other context, I could walk up to a woman and make conversation. But in a bar I feel entirely uncomfortable. Probably because a) most girls group together, so it's extremely intimidating to approach them all, and b) because it's obvious I have an agenda.

I've also tried OKC, but I must be fucking ugly because - while I get plenty of girls looking at my profile - no one seems to want to respond to my messages.

I've become pretty frustrated with my social life, or lack thereof. I like being alone, but at times, I also feel tremendously lonely. And all of this really sucks because in the grand scheme of things I'm actually well off - I'm 25m with my own car, apartment, a good job, good health, and yet I have no one to share my time with. I tell myself to stop being a whiny bitch and feel happy, but some days the feeling of emptiness is overwhelming.

I'm not sure what advice /r/seduction has, I just needed to vent because I'm having one of those mornings.
