>>63084319If you want to make friends in the specific way I'm pretty sure Shiori does you basically have to put all your effort exclusively towards doing things that women like doing AND accept that you might still tragically not get a quality partner or even one at all despite knowing all those women.
And show enough genuine interest in those things so you don't just come across as a creep.
So that means you fill a good portion of your free time crocheting or going to book clubs where women read feminist/queer/anti-racist literature, or doing yoga... whatever.
While also still appearing conventionally "manly" so spending the rest of your time at the gym or buying nice clothes or working on your portfolio.
You will probably have to give up a lot of your video games and anime, or only watch/play the stuff that is very much geared towards girls.
It's possible. A lot of guys do it. Many don't end up in a happy place, though. Even the ones that are insanely talented have problems.
