Why do you say that? There are a lot of men who are fine with it and do it all the time. I am in the same boat as you but I dont' see it as society doing anything to me, I'm introverted and have a hard time with doing so.

The main things that changed between high school and now are my physique, social skills and style. In high school I used to be really scrawny, whereas now I work out and have a body type which would be described as very fit and attractive. In high school, I had 0 social skills. I am still somewhat awkward now but wayyyyyyy better than I was back then. I also dress much more in style now than I did in high school.
But unfortunately, society has things set up so that it is very difficult for guys past a certain age, even if they are attractive, to enjoy the same types of experiences that the attractive younger guys typically get to have. This is accomplished through social engineering and the idea is to push people into settling down and starting families by the time they are in their 30s.

I disagree. Society doesn't matter one bit when approaching any single woman. She is not thinking about your age, your status or anything else on initial looks. Well there may be some of that going on but there is no "social overlord" controlling society's actions or your behavior. This is all a perception thing. When you choose to either act or fail to act on feelings toward a woman, it's purely your choice. No one is coming out of a wall and pointing a finger at you for doing something that this "society" does not see fit.
