From what I can see, you lack alignment with power. Doesn't matter why you do (at least, for the moment), but it seems you do.
You all are not going to get anywhere with this new age gobbledygook with me. So if that's all you have to give, you might as well stop trying.

If I brought over a woman who was like-minded and compatible with me to my group of friends and they kind of absorbed her, whenever I spot an opportunity--a break in the "absorbing"--I'd walk up to her and ask her if she'd like to do something
Umm... did you even read what you quoted? I told you that I tried this and she turned me down. Introducing her to my friends is the only way that I can have any chance of her getting to know me without being too much of a threat to her.

You said in your first post that you were devoid of all these qualities you think you needed, but perhaps the only qualities you really need are the ones you have, and you just need to align with them instead of disacknowledging them and trying to replace them with what you think you need. Perhaps you have a legitimate need for certain skills and knowledge, and in which case, it's up to you to go get it. They're not just going to fall into your lap
Isn't that exactly what I was saying in my OP?
