Outside of formal interactions, being at the checkout or cafe, I have never had a prolonged interaction with a woman. I fucked up really hard through high school and college and was basically the most pitiful loser who everyone bullied and essentially was mute from the age of 12 onwards because of social retardation.

I'm 24 now, I have more money than most people because I spent the time other people spent socialising and living their lives learning about boring shit so I have a good job. From what I see, most women only really interact in groups with men who are already their friends, I have no idea how to become part of one of these groups. I'm not convinced that meeting in bars is something that happens outside of movies.

Is it even possible to learn a skill that is so underdeveloped that I'd be awkward to the point of scaring people, in a setting where there are no women around me anyway?
