Thanks. You may not have given solutions to my questions, but you gave some insights.

I understand that women need confident men to be able to take care of them and the demands of life (this is the only reason I can think of, at least). I'm confident in other settings in my life, and I speak up and defend my rights. So, I'm not sure why confidence in approaching women is that important, and a deal breaker for many!! It's an automatic reaction I guess. For me, I just have problems in initiating a talk with women. I'm working on it, but I need to go through some rejections to get it right, which I'm not sure if I can endure.

I agree about the online part, but I also think romance/Love cannot be predicted where it could squeeze.
