Why did Alain feel he was so inadequate to women?


Five minutes with her and I'd feel like an insect. I'd vanish into the woodwork.


What do you think Alain meant by this statement? And what made him feel so inadequate around women? I mean he was an intelligent and good looking man and yet he felt inept and awkward around them.

There is only a split second between existing and being a mere memory.
