    I was trying to become socially a good person for friends, to become socially favourable towards girls

    Those are one and the same thing. Women aren’t some other kind of beast that you have to learn about, they’re just people that you need to unlearn some distinctions about if you ever want to connect with them. Same goes for men.

    When I hear another man talk about men being chimps when chasing women, I hear excuses for stereotypical and often violent behavior

      When I say chimp behaviour, it only means unhinged, uncivilised and primitive behaviour with no moral or logical control over self. Basically put, how animals mate in the open. That allows no excuses in my book, the same way autism does not give someone a license to insult or harm others. Usually conservatives can use it as a phrase to cloak stereotypical behaviour, which is not exactly my intent.
