>actually being a pleasant person. That is actually a classic "nice guy" trope. Women want a guy who is confident in stating his attraction to them and who doesn't dwell too much before asking her out or after being rejected. Being "pleasant" only works if you naturally meet a lot of women and the woman asks you out. The reason for that is that platonic friendships physically take up time and limit the number of women you can meet. If you have five female friends, the likelyhood of one of them being attracted to you is practically zero, because the number is way too small. Nobody is going to have a hundred female friends so that one of them is going to ask you out. The economics of male dating just don't allow it to happen. >Basically: your list entirely excludes the right of the other person to...be a person. How exactly did you come up with this response? Honestly, it feels like you copy pasted it from somewhere else and are now responding out of context. How does splitting the bill dehumanise "the other person"?
