Solobiker,

Why do you think older people are safe? They are not threatening to you? Because you don't feel as though you have to compete with them on any level?

Just curious.

You can throw me somewhere with a bunch of guys and I can function very well...I'll talk to them about fishing or hunting or football and feel very comfortable.

Trying to make small talk with women is impossible for me. I feel like I have absolutely nothing in common with them and feel totally lost.

?I'm guessing this is because I feel that I have to "compete" somehow with women because I am one? Or is it because I am different from the guys and feel that I have their attention?
