I'm a 22 year old virgin

[mrdevious]

Yes you read that right, I'm 22 freaking years old and have never had sex or anything close; in fact I've never even had a girlfriend. (My hilarious new movie "The 22 Year Old Virgin" will be out sometime next year )

I guess there are a few reasons, albeit not complete, that I can think of:

1. I've been in chronic pain since I was 16, hence no job and no money since I can't work. Though I'm going to apply for a job at the bank tomorrow since it's all sitting.
Not to mention it really limits me from going out anywhere before I'm all like "AH! My fucking spine hurts!" and hurt too much to walk.

2. I've always been self conscious about my body since I've had barely any muscle. But I've been working out pretty hardcore and feeling better about that now that I'm seeing results. Plus (you'll laugh at me for this) I have really hairy nipples, and barely anything else on my chest, and I don't think I've EVER been in a shirtless social situation (like a hottub) without somebody pointing it out and everybody joining in teasing me. I'll get that lazered whenever I can afford it, but it's made me SO self-conscious that I'll never go shirtless in public anymore.

and maybe the biggest one

3. I don't have a clue how to pick up girls. I don't know the pickup lines, I hate the thought of picking up strangers, and I always feel really nervous about letting someone know I'm interested in them for fear of rejection. I know I know "the worst they can say is no", but I always picture some horrified/disgusted reaction (logically, there's really no reason for this).


Personality wise I don't think there's too many problems. I'm relatively intelligent, I'd NEVER hit a girl, I'm always nice to people even when they're assholes to me (which usually results in us being cool again) because I know they're just dealing with some stuff of their own. I'm responsible, respectful, and definately have a future planned out.


So would anybody have any advice for me on getting out of this? keeping in mind I would want it to be someone I know and have it mean something, not pick up some random chick in a bar. I feel like such a weirdo, I must be the only person on earth who's never had sex at this age.

You sound like a nice guy. I can see no reason why you would have trouble getting laid...apart from your hideous hairy nipple issue (JOKE :stoned: ) Honestly, if you want to meet a nice girl then don't bother with all the crappy corny chat up lines.

Just be up front and be yourself and if you get on then ask her to come out for a coffee or lunch or something. Don't even have to call it a date, just get friendly and if it's gonna lead somewhere then it most likely will...

The time will come when it is right. All you can do is be yourself and one girl will fall in love with that. I would just carry on with life and when you find that girl that you like, just ask her for coffee or a study date.

my fiancee and I met as total strangers;
my buddy's car broke and I was giving him a ride for a week or so, and well, another employee at his work, she was going in the same direction. wondered if it was possible to get a ride to..
well, we all talked for a bit in the car, connected a lil bit. when on a date a few days later.
another date. another date. etc. etc.
and I am where I am.

if that makes any sense

damn dude that sucks but to get what u want u simply have too stop worrying IT WILL GET U NOWHERE just calm down and u have to think all she can say is no dont doubt urself girls can tell shyness a mile away thinking negative will only scare u away from confrontation with them

[iwantFUEGO]

Samwhore is very correct my friend.

Treat women as if its totally possible that you COULD have sex, and as if your totally NOT interested in them at all, at the same time. (basically speak confident)

That is, above all, the attitude that you should wake up with every morning... the mojo that you should incorporate into every day.

Im not saying change yourself, just your attitude...

If your as cool as you say you are, you should have no problem getting a nice girl to appreciate you, because you are one of few my friend. As for that attitude, that is what'll eventually get you laid.

Good luck bro :hippy:

Why wait to get the hair lazered off? Just wax it ... it will hurt like hell ... but if it's something that you are that self concious about it then it would be worth it.
And before you can get a girl you have to be secure with your self. So work on being more confident ... even practice flirting with girls with ones you don't care about.

let me delve into my self consciouseness for a bit so i can relate..

..when i was in about 5th grade i was the chubbiest kid around. not necessarilly the fattest, but one of the chubbiest. i looked like a little cherry ball.

so pretty much from there on, ive been self conscious as hell. it could be anything and itd worry me...if i had a zit, id hide my face all day. if i had a bad hair day, id wear a hood all day until i got home to get a haircut. i was crazy.

i think after you get so tired of being so scared, you get over it and just go for it. thats how it was for me. i was tired of being afraid of rejection and scrutiny, so i just said forget it and started acting like i was a god. i just told myself 'theres nothing wrong with you, youre just as good as the next man. why shouldnt you be? hes the next man too, hes a nobody too..' if that makes any sense.

youre just as good as the next in line..maybe you dont have the money or the looks, but that doesnt make you any worse than he.

^^^^^

This man has great advice.

Take it from me. You could have all the looks, you have all the money, you could have a nice car, but without the attitude, all that shit is moot.

Positive thoughts, and not unemotional disenfranchised thoughts are needed in your life.
do the following for 60 days.
Tell yourself a few things like the following before bed each night:
everday is a new day.
i experience great things everyday.
Everday, I try to talk and/or interact with my beautiful surroundings,
including the women I see.
Talking to women comes naturally, and they love me.

Every Morning say the following:
Everyday is different and exciting in its own way.
I intend to make the most of my day and feel the bliss in all the interactions I make.
Everyday I am grateful for the special women I see, and when I see them, I will ask them out.

it works!
