1. I know, and am friends with several very introverted women, one of them takes antidepressants because she has anxiety and she avoids spaces with crowds (even small gatherings trigger her), the other is diagnosed with asperger syndrom and has those typical traits where she doesn't shower or brush teeth due to "sensory overload". The third has no formal diagnoses, but is very passive, introverted and basically needs a partner to make all the decisions for her. All of them have very few friends, their life mostly consists of going to work and home, no real hobbies outside of netflix&chill and some occasional book reading.
  2. But there is one difference: they are rarely single. Yes, even the one who doesn't shower regularly. Maybe not the highest "value" men as in big boy corporate climbers, but average dudes with normal jobs - and I'm not even counting the guys who wanted to hookup with them, just those who wanted relationships. The autistic one had a farmer boy court her for years now, and she's leaving him on read. The anxious one has a boyfriend who drives 80miles in one direction several times a week just to see her, the introverted one just got herself a man again and is seeing where it goes.
  3. Its absolutely insane to me when women tell introverted single dudes to build a rich social circle but even in that social circle he shouldn't hit on his female friends - but build another one that overlaps with the primary one, and in that secondary social circle he should meet people who will take him to the third social space removed just far enough for things not to get awkward if rejections happens and close enough for it to count as a warm approach.

Do women realize how exhausting this would be for an introvert?
