That is okay. I know that whoever is reading this, might be stressed out about the fact that they are at a certain age and they are yet to have their first kiss, sex, relationship or any of the sort. You just think that you need to experience this, but you don't. Just because you are surrounded by women and certain men who get to experience and enjoy these things, does not mean that you "have" to also want and need it. You are being influenced by your surroundings and what you see, which is what is causing you to feel this hunger for love. People are not going to look at you any different. In my friend group, there are some men who have never even kissed a woman and they are not looked at any different by neither the men or the women of the group and this is people who are 20+. They choose to find hobbies instead which are fulfilling their lives and they are still happy, regardless. I even think that if you start consuming romance novels you can live vicariously through the story. What I am saying is that it's not the end of the world. There are options and you won't be looked down upon, no matter how much you worry about that.

I touched on it in my previous thread, but you can have done everything that you were supposed to do in order to improve and it might still not be enough. I am not telling anyone to give up, but worry about your sanity. I know you may feel like this sounds like complete BS and I am not going to even argue the point because a lot of you won't find it believable based on the attitude that people in here have already developed. A lot of the women who are in relationships and are having FWBs and casual sex are actually quite jealous of the men in the friend group who have never had any of these experiences. Firstly because of the fact that they are at peace with themselves, which is something that everyone strives for. Secondly the fact that they don't have to experience heartbreak and breakups. Last but not least they get a lot of free time which leads to more productivity, whether that be volunteering, work or whatever you prefer.

Romance and love is a want more than it is a need. If it's a matter of you wanting children at some point, there is always the option to adopt. I promise that everything will be alright. Being a good friend and having a good support system around you can be equally as fulfilling as a relationship. You just need to cancel out the negative voices around you, telling you that you "need" this or that. Over time you will learn to be more at ease with the circumstances and then the process to a healthier mindset can begin (assuming you are coming from a poor and misogynistic mindset).
