I hope somebody here can help me better understand how to attract the opposite sex. I am an isolated human being and want to start developing new social skills.

I found out that making friends with an all-girls group is a source of headache; there is *always* a girl in every such group who loves to make drama out of nothing.

Not only that, but they would treat you as equal, friendship with them is limited and not socially fulffilling as friendship with guys.

Is this about friendship or "friendship"? Why in L&D and why only girls? :scratch:

Making friends is more casual and you can talk. With attraction, you must show interest. Its like casual talk but with more interest. So you have to know what you find interesting about her. You don't have to know, but its a lot easier to show interest if you know what interests you.

I meant to say that my motivation for developing social skills are girls and work (secondary).

Yes, it would be better if he aims making friendships with both genders.

Being friends exclusively with girls has its own...many disadvantages.

And it doesn't make you appear more attractive btw.
