Well this is quite an awkward thing to ask ,

There is a lot of good advice in this thread. As an 18 year old virgin, I'll try and keep it close to heart.

I'll just agree with what EeveeElectro said, you do come across as a little up yourself. I don't see the appeal of facial hair, it's prickly and unkempt looking, but that's subjective.

All this stuff which I did read

While I agree that there is literally no failing, and even if you randomly go up to a girl you are making awesome progress. The one thing I don't agree with is I know plenty of women who feel uneasy with having some man randomly come up and talk to them outside of a social environment.

All the hygiene stuff is damn true. Cologne also helps in case you antiperspirant wasn't applied that well, or your arm pits were a little too wet from the shower. That all depends on your routine, just another thing to think about.

Make friends, a few of them, be social with people at your job. I have met more women as friends of friends and coworkers than I ever will in any random encounter. Other people, or sharing the same workplace (and by default sharing a commonality) helps melt a little of that schism away.

19. Virgin. Same thoughts here.

But here is the advice I was given when I asked this question. Make yourself happy first. Then spread that happiness to people, then you will attract people. I'll admit it takes time to adjust but I think it's working for me.
