I could just hit the Quote button for about 2/3 of what's here.
I don't flirt. If I see a woman is good-looking, I immediately turn away and pay attention to something else. I don't look at her, or talk to her, nothing. I will do everything to stay out of her way except actually cease to exist.
To me, "gorgeous" means all of the following: she can do way better than a schlub like me; she knows it; she gets approached constantly by guys way more attractive than I could ever be; she is already attached to a well-tanned football player type; said football player is inevitably nearby watching her like a hawk for signs of infidelity; she would consider any form of interaction with me as a waste of her time, and an insult the football player might decide to seek redress for.
I'm a fairly large fellow but none of it is muscle. Even if I were the poaching type, which I'm not, I don't fancy my chances against Captain Quarterback. My tactic is to submit totally to the alpha male and hope he doesn't decide to stomp me out of pure spite. This is why I don't go to parties.
Call it cowardice if you like, but honestly, I don't find women who fit society's standard for physical beauty to be very attractive. The bad bleach job, the overly tight, impractical clothing, the almost inevitable vanity, to me it's all kind of meh. For the reasons I listed above, a woman like that would be a very bad match for me.
