I was introverted and emotionally distant growing up. I grew up being compared to: Spock, House, Sheldon...basically the stereotype. I was an average student but generally remembered everything from classes, and grew up self-conscious about being a reference rather than a person.

Fast-forward to 28. Naturally I lack game. Sure one can read up on it, but it feels artificial.

public void onEvent (Event e){

if (e.getSource instanceof Woman){

ShitTest test parseEvent (e);

if (test != null){

this.invoke (responseMap.get (test));

}

}

}

One can dress the part, prioritize exercise over Minecraft, or otherwise perform actions where (input) -> (output), yet game requires a lack of conscious effort/trying too hard.

Besides repeated trial and error and building an immunity to rejection, how do you build yourself up against shit tests, become more attractive in what you say, etc?
