I doubt anyone rejects you due to not having children. Two of my best friends don’t have children and it doesn’t affect their ability to meet people.
Making friends is hard. I’d say you are doing better than many others. 27 women on social media? I probably don’t even know 27 people.lol
I am not sure you are shy and introverted if you could talk to that many people. I think making friends with people you meet online is hard. You don’t know them. How much do you have in common? What’s the common ground? I think maybe connecting via hobby groups or some type of mutual interests is easier. Maybe you aren’t connecting because you have nothing in common with these women.
I am not sure about meeting platonic friends online. If I was contacted by a random woman online and asked to go out with her, it would be awkward. And I am not shy. Maybe it would be easier if it was a group activity. Less awkward
I do understand difficulty of making friends. It really is hard. But there’s only that much time in the day or a week to hang out with friends so people might not have it in them. It’s not easy
And honestly some people just make friends easily and some don’t. My daughter makes friends with anyone, she’d be friends with lampposts. Like she makes friends everywhere all the time and she enjoys it. I don’t make friends left and right, but I also have no desire or energy for it.

Well, I’m definitely being rejected for something. I know that not everyone is going to like me, but come on now, I was rejected by 27 women online that I never met plus 5 out of the 6 women that I recently did meet.
Btw, I put a post up on this one site & a lot of women contacted me then. I then contacted the women who were interested in meeting me in person. I didn’t just message random women, lol.
And trust me, I’m shy & introverted. I feel like I have no other choice but to put myself out there as it is extremely rare for anyone to even talk to me, let alone invite me to hang out with them! I wish that people would approach me first! That has only happened twice in 25 years! I’m not kidding!
I almost always get ignored in groups & most other places, so meetup & group situations are out of the question. I hate groups so much, that I have fought my husband on attending weddings & socializing with his family & friends who I mostly despise for being rude & dismissive to me.
I really hate groups. I get ignored even at events to where a few people know me. I don’t know why that is. They’d rather talk to their cooler & more popular friends I guess.
One guy even ditched me at a party the whole night! I was his platonic plus one. My husband hates parties too. So he didn’t go with me.
I felt like such a loser. I’ll never ever go to ant party again, especially to where I don’t really know anyone there.
I’m dead serious about giving up on everyone completely. I’m sick of doing all the work & getting almost nothing in return for my efforts.
As I said before, I have had so many bad experiences that it’s surprising that I didn’t give up a long time ago. I’ve been lied about, bullied, judged, mistreated, etc.
I’ve had it with selfish people who try to use me as a free therapist too. If things with these women don’t work out, then I’m done for good.
