Yes, fantastic post and thread.
I can corroborate the issues about college. This stuff seems to be true especially in the higher-end colleges. The more academic and closer to ivy league universities are, the less sex is going around. In the UK, Oxford is the most chaste university, followed by Cambridge at second place.
The same is true for grad school. I’m currently at grad school and although most people here are smart as hell, they are also unbelievably underdeveloped in social skills. Or at least rather frigid.
I think the reason for that is not that people aren’t horny in those places (people are horny everywhere), it’s a combination of people being brainy, incapable of being in the now, happy with themselves and a massive, gargantuan EGO that prevents them from considering consulting boards like this one or from seeking self-improvement.

Today I messed up with this chick that made eye contact with me and smiled on several occasions.
I did not talk to her. I should have. And I regret it. Who knows what could have come?
I will use this as a motivator.
But it led me to a realization: I don’t fear rejection, but I fear the “awkwardness” that comes with rejection. I should realize that this is all in my head.
It is really all in my head.
It was silly, given that the thing was just a few minutes at most. And I could have easily started a conversation at any time. But I was paralyzed by my fear of the awkwardness. I need to overcome it.
Or I need to realize that it isn’t real: it is a self-created, non-real barrier.
