But are they men? Have you seen gay dudes flirting? It ain’t the same. Sure, they’re people, what else would we all be? But they’re distinctively different from men.

Women are literally just people. Talk to them like you talk to other people.

They’re really not. Every person is different from every other person, but a woman is still just a person. And most people aren’t comfortable being treated like they’re different.
Be friendly and most people will also be friendly.

I mean on a base level of course you are right. But seriously? Men and women are very different when it comes to a crap ton of things.

I have many friends who are women, and a wife who is a woman, and none of them are significantly different for me to talk to than men. I don’t know what to tell you.
Sure there are cultural differences. Men are more likely to discuss some topics than women are, and vice versa. And there are stereotypical differences like women being more open with their feelings (though I’ve always been pretty open about my own as a man).
But I’ve always found that treating women essentially the same way I treat men has worked just fine.

Okay great, good stuff… Any tips for talking to other people?

Practice. Conversation is a skill like any other, you won’t be good at it until you work at it.

Sometimes, or an ass pic. Depends on context.
