When you hit 30 as a virgin, you become a wizard. But what kind of wizard?

These topics are always both fascinating and extremely bizarre to me. Overall it reminds me that I am happy that I wasn't born a little later and would have been therefore more likely to have Internet forums/etc to lean on for community and such rather than having to go outside for that stuff during my formative years - from my POV it's a huge crutch and between what I see in here as well as the types I typically associate with at work (typical techy nerds) it's fairly common and "taking over" more/not going away any time soon.
I am a little surprised by the amount of people who make it past mid-20s still a virgin and don't actually strongly consider just going thru the back pages and getting it over with. I know everyone loves to bring up the "I wanna keep my kidneys" trope but come on. It's a convenient excuse but how often does one really hear of those urban myths happening for real? I'm not saying "go do this for sure" but the older you get, the smaller that window gets for one not to feel awkward about it and I suppose the more accepting they will get about it in their own heads. The bigger issue that it just gets that much more difficult and therefore kinda warps your brain.
Wrap it and break the spell, snap out of it. People have no problem doing this in most other countries because they are not quite as uptight/repressed about it as ours is (well.. not in the same way)
As for me, I was cut from the same mold as many in here have explained. Grew up real quiet and antisocial, focused on my hobbies to an extreme, a fair amount of social anxiety, made peace with the notion that I'd likely never hook up with a girl/have a relationship, etc. Like I said, it was a different time and I was in a place where I was forced to go out and be social (university student) and online was still just becoming "a thing" so maybe that's why it was a little easier to snap out of it back then-- maybe.

I don't think this is an uncommon occurrence.
Thanks.
Damn.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't have Internet access until I was in my early 20s, so I can't blame my lack of social interaction on that. I could blame it on video games though, since playing video games was pretty much the only thing I did in my free time when I was a teenager. That and read books. If I had been born before video games, I probably would have just read more instead. I guess I could also blame my parents for not encouraging me to go out more, but really, what's the point of trying to find someone to blame? It's my life, I can't blame anyone else for ruining it but me.
Going to university did not change anything for me in this regard, it was just another type of school. I did go to some parties now and then, but I always felt awkward in those types of situations and eventually stopped trying altogether. I certainly wasn't forced to be social at university, but maybe it's different in the US.
As for the prostitute thing, I have considered it, but the main reason why I don't do it because it's bloody expensive here. That and the fact that I would think less of myself for losing my virginity to a prostitute, even if I know that on a rational level there is no reason to feel that way.

Most countries aren't as backwards in their attitudes to sex and prostitution as the US.
Ok? So what about people in the US?

Nothing broken about that! Sexuality is a topic full of diversity anyway, everyone's out to discover something for himself.

What the point of getting laid just for the sake of it?
I could get laid very easily, I'm tall (6"3), I'm an athlete, I have an above average dick, I'm very confident and I know exactly what I want from life, I'm independent, I'm very happy and live a fulfilling life, I'm not anti social and chat regularly with perfect strangers (my good look is helping a lot), I have good social skill, I know how to interact with people, I know how to enjoy life, I know how to drink, party, play team sports etc... The only flaw that I have is that I have a huge ego and my confidence make me act like an eccentric because I don't give a fuck about what other people could think. I am also very polite and respectful and don't want to force myself onto other people if they clearly don't want me to. I'm self aware of my strong opinions and my big ego so I like to play dumb in order to not be too intimidating. I also don't like petty conflicts so I rather back down than escalate things and prove that I'm a macho, some people think of me as a doormat because of this, but when the conflict is worth it they clearly don't want to confront me, because I could be very mean and aggressive for the right cause.
With all this, I'm still a virgin and just turned 28 this last November. People could mock me but I don't care because I'm better than them at a lot of other things. I'm even pretty sure that I am better at sex than most non virgin because of my confidence, my empathy, my athletic skills, all those years of meditation, playing with myself, learning and researching, I know how to please someone and be careful. The only think I lack is muscle memory and automatisms, but I'm a fast learner so I don't really worry about that, and this is a thing all people should worry about when they have a new partner, even if they've got lot of sex experience.
If my regular activities and way of life start to bore me, maybe I could think about a relationship or becoming a manwhore but for the moment I don't care and I like the idea of becoming a wizard who don't look like one.
Maybe my testimony could help other late virgins who are lacking confidence and worry about things too much.

You mean the guy who was sane and understood that he probably is still a virgin due to his own actions is blatantly wrong? Just because he doesn't blame everyone else but himself?
Please, I really want you know to elaborate. How is he wrong? How are we ignorant fucktards? Why is it everyone's fault but yours? I really want to know why we are the assholes when you're the one slinging insults.
So much awkwardness in this thread.
Sex is like water and it flows like air, it's a social activity that the vast majority of people want intensely. For this majority it's as necessary as farting or pissing, and means as much, it's a physiological need. Let go of your mindset, all of it and recreate your ideas in regards to love and long term relationships, you just want to get a knack for navigating social structures and constructs. Always be safe and have safe practices about it.
Also I am certain lots of people in the thread have their own minds as their greatest opponent due to years of oppression and sorrow. Let it all go... then take charge. Dominate your mind and your body will follow though.
Protip: talk to people, just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Talk even if you don't know how to talk, even if people are absolute shit golems, even if you fail or stutter, even if you feel insecure, just talk. You'll meet hordes of viable mates in time, whether for friendship or fuckery, or maybe even love, but it's all about talking, then talking the talk and walking the walk.
I hope everyone in angst here finds their chill soon
. I hope everyone feeling bad stops feeling bad soon. It's never too late, and it's always in your best interest to try new things. Experiences, people, it's all about the experiences.

i wish the SO showoff thread still existed so i could post your melt-down from there.
The dude obviously needs some kind of therapy (and I don't mean that as an insult). I don't understand continuing to poke him.
I always thought of it that you tap into some hidden human powers by surviving so long without having sex. People end up destroying themselves or even kill themselves due to lack of companionship in their 20s. But if you can be by yourself and be happy, its like you've conquered a good part of yourself. Now you can have sex if you want, but its not a needed part of your life.
Of course in reality if youve never had a girl show any romantic/sexual interest in you by the time you hit your 30s, there's things you need to work on.

because he's relentlessly being an asshole to other users.
The thing is, it is... For a majority, and not for all as I said. As previously discussed by another post, in the end it's just a matter of you doing *exactly* what you want in life with your body. If you want to fuck, put in the effort to learn to navigate society and communicate, then fuck and keep fucking; if you don't, don't. It's a part of healthy life and failure to address it will end in catastrophe each and every time if it's an actual desire, and if people just were this open, down to earth and frank with themselves and each other that'd be so much easier to do...
I mean it's patently obvious how there's so many hung up people in the thread. All the points I'm stressing revolve around taking charge and getting things done, rather than taking a passive, "as it comes" attitude.
Here we go now there it is, the 'lets make fun of virgins' thread's only logical conclusion, i'm the asshole and should ignore all your mocking if I don't like it. Good job GAF

What's your problem dude? No one is making fun of anyone. Some people think that it is the persons own fault for not trying and getting out there. They are allowed to hold those opinions.
Don't feel so attacked. And I'm sorry to say it, but if this is your attitude in real life, then that will get in the way of your social contact with others. I don't know, I don't know your life or you as a person, but that is the message you sent across with the posts you make.

Man, virginity really seems to be a huge mental block for some people.
That sucks. But hey, even Steve Carrell eventually got lucky in that one Judd Apatow movie, so never give up hope.

Great advice and I must admitit's thanks to posts like thiso ne that I'm finally fine with who I am and that I live an happy life. I was trully depressed and being a virgin with no romantic history with a woman was a burden until I took my responsabilities and changed my look on life.
I didn't have an easy life and I was full of anger and regrets, until I realized nothing good will ever come from other people and it is my responsbaility tomake a better world for others and of course myself. With this new mindset I accomplished a lot in few years, stopped smoking, got in the best shape of my life (I started volley ball when I was 13), got a better job, I even tested my sex appeal just for fun and it worked so easily that I don't think it's worth bothering over it. Peolple should stop thinking about what's hindering them and focus and what they could change. You just need to admit that you have a lot of potential and you don't use it right now.
Few years back I was reading posts like this one and thinking it was some bullshit but it is clearly not. You just have to be open minded and do things at your own pace.
If people aren't nice with you and you know you're doing everythings right, it shouldn't bother you. You just need to wait and keep trying until someday you'll find kind and nice people. Until then, be happy by yourself and enjoy the world.
I should add that what helped me a lot is changing my diet and trying to stick to an eating and sleeping schedule that no matter what, don't change. It's one of the most important thing in my life and I would not sacrifice it for anything. If I can't eat and sleep like my body needs it, you will not be a friend of mine. With this schedule I can finally be outcoming and social when I feel like it. I view life as I view a sports game, the most important thing is the preparation and training. If you work on it everyday, when the right time comes up, you are ready to kick some ass and be awesome.

How are you the victim when you call people fucktards when they didn't even address you most of the time?
You trying to get people banned or something?
26 here, four years to go before becoming a wizard !
Which is the last fucking thing I want of course, this shit's been torturing me for years although I feel much better now than I did a few years back.
Still have tremendous difficulty putting myself out there due to a fear of failure/rejection that I cannot manage to overcome.
I'll try to make it next year, still have a lot of work to do to better myself.

If all your orgasms for the past 28 years have been through playing with yourself, especially if you use a similar technique every time, there's a chance you may initially find it difficult to come through vaginal sex. Just saying.
Please.
He researched everything already as he elaborated.
That won't be a problem as he is also someone who learns fast and knows how to adapt.
oh god haha
Now THIS is a post!
Well it is yet again the start of the new year. Im definitely going to try and make an effort to deliberately get relationships. Nobody knows but ive already been taking steps for years, most of it documented on gaf of improving things and nothing has turned things around for me. Money, losing a lot of weight, getting fit, eating well, dressing better, living on my own for a long time, did all that but really my personality isn't suited for socializing. I do in fact go out with people from work but all that does is makes me feel worse after the first hour cause there is an unexplainable thing that just comes so easy to people and all I can do is witness it from the outside. Nobody has ever shown an interest in me when im out so it doesn't help my confidence. Anyway this year is it, im done after this one.
