I'm a 25 year old virgin with a mental illness. What makes it painful? Simple: I don't look like a guy who should have problems. My mannerisms, conversation technique, and everything else is just lacking. Not to mention that...having this illness leads one to "seem off".
I made a thread about it recently. It's painful. I have...no clue where to even begin. People detest virgins in society today. It's akin to being the modern day leper. So, even if I did reasonably well at "appearing confident, convincing someone through the art of persuasion, attracted them,...." I'm still a damn virgin.
I simple believe I'm beyond the threshold of being able to "learn" these things. Even then the very people I'd personally wish to date would view this from a negative perspective.
You gotta be tough, stop feeling sorry for yourself and push through the uncomfortable feelings inside.
You cant set your standards to high because its easy to do so when your a virgin at your age.
I didn't have a GF until I was 24 as well.. and like you I was a very attractive guy.
I lost my virginity alot earlier (19) but it was literally just for the sake of losing it.. pick up first thing I saw and then take it home needless to say I had a nest of interesting things for the next few weeks.
I didnt get a gf for so long because I would always struggle to ask them out even when they obviously liked me.
When I was young the only way I picked up was crazy one night stands that were fueled by drugs and alchohol or just because thats when I had enough guts to actually do something

I also had the same problem where my mannerisms conversation technique etc was lacking. Espescially when younger.
When I was younger I would make heaps of friends with girls that actually wanted alot more but I was to slow to go into a relationship I really liked them but was completely without confidence.
There were many times I did actually try and failed (mainly probably because of my sexual inexperience and didn't know that she was begging me to #@%@$# her). Until Finally they would go their seperate ways because I simply wasn't experienced enough to " Take the bull by the horns" so to speak. I was SCARED OF SEX. All these situations would always take me into a downward spiral of depression. I would get super fit get super good looking go on a date with a girl then fuck it up which would literally take me down to ground zero mentally.
But yeh in the end alot of bad sexual experiences led to me really be phobic about it... long story short you can have some pretty embarassing situations when you try to have sex fueled by drugs.
Ok so where am I going with this? I know how tough it is to have this bearing weight on your shoulders because it effects all the conversations you have with every girl you speak to. At least for me it did anyway. But you have to be tough and let your heart guide you when it wants to be guided no matter how much your brain is saying NONO your going to get hurt again.
For me in the end it was a simple solution...
