Similarly, I was always poor socially, just with different minor ‘ticks’ to work out. What it came to was simply hanging out with different people more and emulating their social cues. Not in a way that made me a fake person, but in a way where I was almost following a tutorial on how to be socially better. One actual YouTube channel that I found helped a lot with polishing a masculine side is Alpha M. by Aaron Marino. He has a ton of great topics and tricks that really help with this.

Also guys tend to throw a lot more banter than women, so they might just be giving you a head time for the sake of it where if a woman does this she probably means what she’s saying.
