Nah, more like nuclear physics

Talking to any neurotypical, male or female, is far more complicated than performing brain surgery on rockets.
Trying to get them to date you just adds another layer of difficulty.

Actually, I have worked harder on improving my social skills than anything else in my whole life, and a large part of that is talking to women. Even if I'm not interested in dating them, talking to the typical woman in a friendly way is very, very different than talking to the typical man. It took me years to figure out how to talk to women in even a nonromantic way that would not likely be rejected. I'm kind of pleased with myself for having figured it out.

actually, no. bucephalus used his "skill" of talking to me like he talks to men, and it worked quite well. we are now living together
. the proof is in the pudding. it can be quite effective to talk to women like any other people because they are fellow humans and all that.

When I was a teenager I didn't talk about much except whatever obsession I had at the time, so it was almost entirely object-based. You can probably imagine that talking about atoms, or a cat's barbed penis (I thought animal penises were interesting when I was a teenager) would not be a good way of starting a conversation with a teenage girl, but I could usually find a guy to talk about that stuff with. My experience with women is that they like to talk about the emotional relevance of whatever is going on. Typically I get good responses with a girl if I find some sort of trivial subject to start the conversation, and then I ask her about herself and act like I am interested in what she finds interesting and what her dreams for the future are. A lot of guys would probably think I was gay if I talked to them like that.

i don't think very many unfamiliar men would comfortably talk to you about animal penises either. i believe you are comparing male friends against female strangers, which isn't the same thing. go ahead and try talking to a man about animal penises at a bus stop and see how he reacts to you. he *may* be polite but i sincerely doubt you would have made a new BFF.
if you think back to how you first made any new friend, it is a similar process. nothing gendered there at all.
