What the title says is the situation I’m in and honestly,its become a self fulfilling prophecy. I first started worrying that my lack of experience would turn women off back when I was 20 years old. Now I wish I could be in this situation when I was 20 again because now looking back at it, being inexperienced at 20 isn’t that bad. I did lose my virginity in a one night stand when I was 21, but nothing at all in the 11 years since then. I’m too discouraged to even make an effort to try and date because I feel like the overwhelming majority of women will not date a 32 year old man who has no experience with dating and relationships and very little with sex. So this totally is a catch-22 where I have to have experience to date and get a relationship, but can’t get that without dating and getting into a relationship, which I can’t do because I haven’t already had that in the first place. This has caused me to have a more angry and frustrated outlook towards women because they’re literally gatekeeping the very thing they’re rejecting you for not having, which is experience. I feel like this can be found out when dating because women usually ask about past relationships and dating history as time goes on when you’re seeing each other, then she loses interest when she finds out. Just feels like there’s no way out of this situation and it fills me with so much hopelessness just because I have no experience. submitted by /u/Narrow_Connection182
