It ain't necessarily about social skills. Let me ask you this: What am I to talk about with most foids? We have close to nothing in common. Close to no overlapping interests. While many here may lack in social skills, I'm fortunate enough to not have to count myself among them. Having to change your interests just to fit in is like saying "just become NT bro" -- it don't work that way.
You don't have to have things in common to be able to talk to girls.
Talking to girls is the same as having smalltalk. Ever noticed that smalltalk is never about deep topics? It's only about platitudes like the weather, or what you did on the weekend, or what you're going to have for dinner later or what your hobbies are.
This is something autists don't get. Communication is often not about what is spoken, but about what is felt. Talking with another human, being in touch with someone else, seeing someone smiling, showing interest in someone and having him/her interested in you, that's what smalltalk and talking to a girl is all about. It's not the literal words that are spoken.
Funny thing:
You don't have to have things in common. You in fact (and that is the hilarious part) don't even have to have a topic to talk about.
One of the easiest ways to talk to people is to just ask them questions. I tried it myself, and it's just so stupidly easy, anyone can do it and will see immense results. Just ask questions about the other person, that way a) you won't have to do the talking and b) you will look like you're interested in the other person and there's nothing that people like more than having others interested in them and talking about themself.
Like "cool watch, where did you get it?" "What did you do last weekend?" "Do you come here often" bla bla bla the options are endless, just ask stuff about them, you will see that they love that and you will love it because you don't have to talk so much. The funny thing is, the answer to one question is very likely to offer opportunity for the next question, so you will be sprialing into lengthy dialogues very very easiely.
There are plenty of books on the topic, plenty of articles, like there's just no excuse in my oppinion to be socially incompetent because you can literally study it and follow patterns of communication, it's not that hard.
