And ample resources with which to express. A suitable medium.<\/p>\n<p>Something I have noticed about my social interactions is that no one introduces me to their heterosexual women friends. I have noticed this, off and on, since adulthood began in 1990. Women enter the social scene and I evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I am among friends, or am I? I feel invisible, which is normal enough for me, except that I felt existant about 20 minutes ago before this girl (whose acne makes her look to be about 19) sat next to me. I instantly disappeared. My attempts to enter the conversation were shouted down. As always, I fail to compete on volume, and the loudest humans dominate. Now this girl thinks I am sitting here alone when in fact she is surrounded and being entertained by My Friends.<\/p>\n<p>I do not think anyone means anything by it. I think this is just the way men work when confronted with a reasonably attractive girl drinking alone at a bar. I do not think it is necessarily directed at me, though there have been times when it seemed the dudes were trying to keep me away from their night&#8217;s conquest.<\/p>\n<p>The women I meet through friends are lesbian. Those are the only women I meet through friends. Holy Wonder Woman, Batman, I did not fully realize that until now. I guess that makes me dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>That is my favorite line from &#8220;Jesus Christ, Superstar,&#8221; when the three priests, referring to Jesus, sing in unison &#8220;He is daaaaangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean I am the Messiah?
