Which I can only draw the conclusions that I'm either really intelligent, are these girls are really dumb. I can't decide which one that is.

And that's not the only thing. What if I end up in a relationship. MY FIRST relationship. And it turns out to be a disaster and that rapes my ego and changes my heart? I may not know a lot about the actual mechanics of attraction. But I DO know that women are not attracted to distrustful losers. Maybe distrustful but aspirant people. But not distrustful losers.

Which is why I like to step back, look at the situation carefully and have a backup plan. Rawr.
