Mate, seriously, if you want a girlfriend get off the computer and get out there! Thats the only way to really up your social skills.


I understand what you are saying you see its difficult I'm in the process of having counselling/psychologists to combat my self hating/low self esteem at the moment so its easier said than done. Hopefully in time I can become more confident buts its tricky because I'm worried I will be too old to have a girlfriend because I'm not sexually experianced enough by the time I "repair". :frown:

Thats why I've been considering using escorts to deal with this problem in the mean time to overcome sexual inexperiance but in reality don't know how wise that is.

It seems to me like your feelings of worthlessness due to your depression are what are causing you to believe that you will never have a girlfriend.

There really is someone for everyone and you will meet her one day, so until then concentrate on getting into a better mental state with the help of your councellors etc, rather than looking up escort agencies. Escorts are paid to pretend they like you, which would probably only make you feel worse in the end. Don't waste your on that.

Most women enjoy sex more when they have an emotional connection to a guy, regardless of how many porn like moves he can pull in bed, so your being a virgin is not a bad thing, and when you do get a girlfriend she will probably be flattered that she is the first, not one in a long line of dunken one night stands.

Peace out - A town x

* I meant to say ---- "don't waste your virginity on that"
Greetings... I came across this post just by mistake... I had a GF back in 1994 when I was 14, that lasted for a week. LOL. I have not kissed anyone since - 1994. I am a short 5"3' computer oriented guy. I also own a house and have lots of DIY projects now completed.. I learned confidence and validated that confidence by getting some of the projects (most of them) to work and turnout well. In the time since 1994 I have lived my life.. went to NYC, and other vacations including Las vegas. I occasionally play video games with my bros. Life without a GF can be fulfilling.. I know... well, how did I get to that conclusion. I paid for sex multiple times from 2005 to 2009.. sowed my oats so to speek. Then after that... I started listening to Christian rap like Lecrae, and cannon and This'l... from then I have been running my life according to the lord. sex is not an option now.. I dont know how to talk to girls in a manner that would impress them... I do some community service using my plumbing, carpentry, elctrician or computer hardware skills,so I feel a real gratitude for my life.. Heck, it's dumb but a few girls that have approached me... I have been nice to, chatted and been straight up... I ask them if I can be honest, they say yes ofcourse. I say junk along the lines of "I am glad I got the chance to meet You tonight, it has been fun!. I dont want to lead You on...no... I am not gay (Laugh) Its just that I am so lacking in my understanding of relationships, I decided at the ripe age of 14 to never have another GF again. they laugh, and I validate serious, I used to want a GF so bad and since I have grown up over the past 20 years... I learned to love myself and use my time to help people and be a good version of me. I am not angry at any girl, it's just that Romantic/EROS kind of love is not one I want.. I am more of the agave kind of guy.. love you like a brother.


They are like :O oh,k....bye... In my life I am called to singleness.. I feel it in my bones. Friends and a good job help fill the gaps a GF vacancy can cause.
Look up the 3 types of love.. that will help too.
Whish you the best of luck!

I'm 26 and I've never had a proper relationship or girlfriend. I wouldn't change my past, I've got a job, £25k in the banks always pass on tuppence to the beggars and buskers.

I have known of a person or two who have lived their life without a partner and they don't dwell on it. Perhaps because they are the predecessor generation. When you have a gf, you have to compromise, that partner will eventually leech of you your money, time and freedom.

Hi, I am 26 and have never been loved. For me it is not so much about being in a relationship but feeling loved by the opposite sex. I admit I am a social recluse and prefer spending my time gaming at home.

But some women might relish a challenge, and I definitely see myself as an awful boyfriend. Perhaps you need to find women to like challenges?

I would hate to die a virgin so I am getting more desperate as the years pass.

IMO it is harder to find women as you get older. They expect you to want to settle down but if it's your 1st relationship you will find it hard to commit.

Anyway, women are depreciating assets, the older i get the more money I'll earn.

(anon for my bf's sake)

Hi, this thread is a good couple of years old, but I wanted to reply when I saw this.

My boyfriend felt largely the same as you; unloved and disillusioned by the opposite sex and figured that there were no good women in the world.

He didn't meet me until he was 30, but now we've been together for almost four years and are incredibly happy together. He thinks of the time before he met me as "the dark years" and wants us to stay happy together indefinitely.

I can't guarantee that this will happen to you - I can't predict the future, but I would urge you not to give up home because good things can happen when you least expect them :smile:

Your not alone I'm 25 and never had a girlfriend, I'm not a virgin I've paid prostitutes a number of times it's good but also meaningless an you forgot about it as quick as, I also deal with a lack of self esteem not so much around normal girls but around pretty smokin girls I crumble,mainly due to my appearance (big nose) doesn't help when you've been ridiculed over it throughout your life it can really affect you even if you do bottle it up n try to carry on sumtyms it comes bck hard when your alone at night thinkin why your still alone n every 1 else in your friends has had sum sort of non paying relationship so I totally get it man and I just keep tryin and hoping I'll find sum1 otherwise if I get to 40 lonely I don't think I'll last long.
Right I'm 26 never had a gf but not a virgin!
To cut a long story short, the guys got a point!

I suffer from
A lack of confidence, depression & my lack of experience has caused me to now suffer from Ed erectile dysfunction!

I recently met a girl I loved but because of my Ed she left me!

Basically when girls/women say yes they'll be happy to stick with a guy who's a virgin, or no experience or suffers from Ed, the truth is when it comes to it they will actually leave!
Such hypocrites !!
That leaves me with the fact that I just can't satisfy a woman now & until it's sorted I'll never get a gf! Fact is how can I sort it when my confidence is even lower now.

Why not get some Viagra? I suffered from psychological ED due to being a virgin quite late (around 19 years old). Or I did "have sex" when I was 14 and 16 but couldn't get hard which put me off sex and got me super scared.

With the help of viagra I was able to maintain an erection for my first times, then I realised "hey I can do this!!" and haven't used it since.
Well thing is viagra doesn't always work that's how bad it's got!!! & with this girl I was nothing but honest, told her I'll be using viagra & she got even more offended :/

Not the first girl to have reacted that way & I'll tell you what else, I don't just take it unless it's just pure sex but if I really like the girl Im honest as you can't base it on lies, she'll find out sooner or later esp when you have sex twice a day, viagra can only be taken once every 24 hours and lady's only 4 hours

Ok guys I have to come to terms with something thats bothered me for a long time.

I'm a virgin, I'm 25 and I turn 26 in a couple of months. In addition I've never had a relationship either.

From my experiances, this a major red flag for the majority of women say 80-90% of them when you get to this age. Its bothered me so much that I even considered suicide on many occassions last year, but now I'm seeking councilling about it and my social life in general.

I've have always believed I am a poor set of genes and that I have simply deserved this. Social darwinism and natural selection has played its part and that I am simply not up to societies standards. I've come to conclusion that I can't have children, because I would passing on bad genes, science is certainly telling me this.

I can't get a girlfriend, and by nearly 26 I've never had one and I know by the time you get to this age you'll never get one. No girlfriend by 25, and well, you're love life is over. No women are going to want an inexperianced guy and thats understandable.

Is it this hard to accept? You damn right it is, infact its killing me inside, but after being suicidal for months about it, I realise that the only way I can imagine to stay alive is learning how to live with it and learning to accept myself.

I'm going to go through life without having a girlfriend as I'm simply too old now, I have another 50-60 years to live in this world and I've got to be able to learn to live with this fact and at the moment its ROCK HARD. I'm crying every night even now.

But science is telling that I cannot have a girlfriend or a relationship, the signs are pointing this way and I'm so depressed accepting this fact but I know I have to if there's anyway I can live on this planet for another 50-60 years successfully.

Life's just not meant to be sometimes, I didn't choose to be born in this world, I didn't choose to go through this in some ways, its natural selection playing its part and I fully accept it.

Buts its very depressing, almost like grieving knowing my life will have to be this way.

Is there any other guys who are like who feel the same way and in the same situation?



Well, if you're making this post, you should probably look forward to spending the rest of your life this way anyway.

Yeah I actually remember now that it didn't work for me either when I was sober and really anxious about having sex. But dude, don't tell the girls you're on Viagra!! That just makes you look weird, unless its a very understanding girlfriend. Just take it tactically before you know it's going to happen, the effect lasts for over 4 hours. In case it's too hard to predict the moment with a girl, take Cialis instead which lasts over 30 hours.

I remember now the first time I got sex to work was when I was very drunk and had taken 100mg of Viagra (you don't normally need that much though, that'd be the dose for a grandpa!).
The reasons it finally worked were:
-alcohol took away my anxiousness
-viagra combatted the whiskey dick, I was rock hard
-the girl admitted being a virgin, which massively made it less stressful
-the girl finally let me go without a condom, which was a massive turnoff for me and had previously always caused for me to lose my erection (the moment you start putting it on)
-we used lube, so it went in immediately, which eliminated any hassle and "wait what am I doing"-feelings

So try out those tips but if you ditch the condom make sure the girl is clean!
Is the OP still a virgin?

After all he's nearly 29 now.

Thanks for all your tips but yes I too use 100mg still doesn't work 100% of the time!

I don't use condoms for the same reason but ok I can still have sex on most opportunities just takes a lot longer for me to get going sometimes I have to meet the girl more than once which is why I end up telling the truth!


The other problem I have is I cannot ejaculate to a woman's touch nor can I inside or outside!! Again this offends every girl & the last time I offered to help because I thought she was tired but instead she got offended and remained upset for days!!!

Obv she left me after a few more attempts

Maan I had exactly the same issue as you but I overcame it. Even when I went on for a whole hour, I could not orgasm from penetrative sex, blow jobs or hand jobs when it was someone else doing it. I think it took me maybe 10-15 times before I orgasmed for the first time from sex.

But don't worry, it's possible to get rid of this issue. Anxiety and heavy masturbation are the main reasons for this. Basicly you need to reconfigure your brain to realise that ejaculating is possible by other ways too. It's often a result of heavy masturbation and porn, your dick is used to stronger stimulation than a vagina / mouth can offer.

The first step is to completely quit masturbation and porn. After a few weeks, your body will be fighting for you to orgasm and you will become more sensitive. The second step is to try to not stress about it. I had a new girlfriend at a time, who obviously though she was failing at something because I couldn't orgasm. I was a virgin before her and never had orgasmed from sex, which she didn't know. I literally told her that please, do not make it an issue and lets just have sex, it will come when it will come.. and finally it did! After that single time, my brain was convinced that its possible and I can now always orgasm from sex.

Now at 23, I only recently learned I can orgasm from blowjobs too which I thought was impossible untiil now. Awesome feeling!

Some people on the Jeremy Kyle show may look ugly. But at least they have social skills.

I have absolutely none. And can't get a girlfriend realise that internet polling has showed me that girls wont date people over the age of 25+/30+ who are virgins, at least most them, like 60% from what I've found.

So thats most of the female population. Excellent, screwed for life. Its awful feeling like this.


these negative thoughts are self reinforcing... hopefully your counselling will help you to see that there is more to life than internet polls and moronic celebrity culture. it takes time to value yourself... it is hard work but you must do it.

Perhaps you're looking in the wrong places.

Can you pm me? Just send a 'hi' so I know who you are. I don't have time right now to say everything I want to but I will get back to you either really late tonight or tomorrow.

That's awesome and maybe it's easier for you as you're young, girls your age are much more understanding as they too are just starting out with experiences etc, get to my age and women don't want to teach a guy or wait around, hence she dumped me!!

ITried to not masturbate and that didn't help at all...made my cock feel really weird and it started to hurt when I did ejaculate!

No girls are willing to want to be with me and without a girls support it just means I'm back on the porn
