Very hard to get to know anyone when I'm 19 years old in a bar and club town where you have to be 21 to get in anywhere. I got my group of people I hang out with from my unit, but there isn't exactly a population of females that are single that I can see myself with.

Edit: As much as I may be analyzing it a little bit too much, the circumstances that placate me being 5'6" doesn't help with my chances of attracting a female as the primitive psychology of females prefer the taller males as opposed to guys of an equal or lesser height. It's all surrounding the protective premise of tall male over a shorter female.
I really do wish that I could strangle mother nature if she was a real individual. Fuck this world.

...the only girls that talk to me already have boyfriends or have some other circumstance that hinders the possibility of a relationship such as fatness or ugliness.

bahahah! I love the phrasing here. Beautiful delivery.

Oops, I already said this. Ah well. EMPHASIS!

What are you like when it comes to socializing with the opposite sex?

What is your preference?

I mostly don't socialize with girls. Not that I don't like them - I certainly do. But they find it almost impossible to approach me because they get scared of the death stare I'm not even trying to give them and I'm very private so I just don't socialize much in general. And I hardly ever approach them because I feel I have better things to do with my time than try to create a conversation with a girl I probably won't be able to relate to easily. I do have one very close ENFP female friend but she is the remarkably rare exception in my relations with girls.

I'm very passive, generally.

I don't initiate conversations with people I don't know, generally. As such, whenever a girl attempts to talk with me, I tend to assume they want something from me. If it turns out they're just trying to socialize, I get confused and/or annoyed if I happen to be working on something (rare for me not to be). Needless to say, this puts them off.

The only times I'll really get into a conversation is when a work-related discussion devolves. Now that I think of it, "what's that you're working on?" tends to get a more positive response if the person is genuinely interested.

At the same time, though, I'm pretty much the same way with other guys.

I am allergic to giggle, OMG, like, I kinda like girls. If you know what I mean? But I have some great women friends. On the other hand, I have no trouble with the opposite sex unless they are douche baggy and arrogant for no good reason...then I like to put them in their place. Sounds very pessimistic, but there are a lot of people I get along very well with.

[Bogspirit]

easily enough to a point, and both sexes, but basically I am always looking to collect fun, interesting, intelligent people who are "keepers", always looking for the keepers!

[Emerson]

Same as with men, if they share interests with me then I'm away, if not then I'm going to sit quietly hoping that it'll all be over soon.

I can walk into a room of men and be completely comfortable and at ease...and am very confident I'm generally perceived as being "one of the guys". When I'm bored I like to flirt to see what kind of reaction I get.

I almost literally have no idea what to do when interacting with other women who I'm unfamiliar with, though. It's just...weird talking to another woman. Mostly because I feel like women are generally tepid unless they're...like me (rationally, I know this isn't the case, but it's my hardcore Judging element showing through).

This is me, too. Occasionally I find myself in a large group of men and women (family and/or friends) for several days at a time. The men all tend to go to one spot to talk and the women another (usually the kitchen - lol). I hang out with the men 9 times out of 10 because I have nothing to say to the women. Not that I don't like them, but I don't have kids, I don't want to talk about my feelings, etc. I'd rather drink a beer and goof around trading insults with the guys. I tend to be a bit of a flirt with men I don't know too well - depends on the situation.

I avoid females unless I'm directly related to them, or related via law. Historically females have attempted mating with me regardless of my relationship status, and as a result they aren't to be trusted.

[Intuition]

A machine, as always :) sincere, but flirtatious. Strong, but not overbearing. Attracted, but not clingy. Interested and if we talk and I like then I will pursue the girl directly and don't apologize for the fact I think she's a stunning hot babe and I want my tongue in her mouth. Immediately. :P
