At work I often see young women (25-30) have conversations with young men. These conversations seem to flow naturally, and sometimes the men say things that result in the woman laughing.
How are men able to converse like this with women? I could never talk like this with a woman, because since opportunities to talk to young women are so scarce in my life, I view the slightest interaction with a woman with the same degree of seriousness as a job interview; I cannot just let loose and have a fun conversation. Does this not make sense, when on average I get around 1 opportunity per year to have a conversation with a young woman? How can I be casual and have fun, when the reality of the situation is that it is one of a small handful of tests I will get in my lifetime, and if I fail them then the consequence is that I don't reproduce? I cannot see talking to women as being lighthearted and casual. No, it is a grave and serious ordeal.
