That would be a bit of a barrier in getting to know someone...do you have any motivation to try to change that?

I had that motivation at one time. Not as much now. The majority of my social interactions, especially with women, end with me being humiliated, or me looking dumb, or me making myself look dumb, or some other variation there of. The things I'm interested in aren't anything most women care about (the politics and philosophy especially). I've had quite enough of being on the receiving end of rolled eyes, weird looks, and glares of derision for being the odd one in the group. So, no, my motivation to change that ain't so strong anymore.

Focus. Stay on target. The world depends on you, not on any mere woman.
