I'm 30 and I've never had a girlfriend. I've only had sex once in my life. I've had a few dates but nothing that led to anything other than that one time I had sex.

I don't know if I want a woman or not. Almost every day I think about how mixed up I am in this issue. One part of me has a wish to have a woman. Part of that (a big part) is sexual desire. And another part of me thinks that maybe I'm not suited to have a woman, too good to have a woman, and shouldn't keep trying and thinking about it, just drop all thoughts about it for good. I used to be quite sure that I wanted a woman and never even questioned it. But that changed when I had my spiritual awakening. After that I have been mixed up, and I've been thinking that maybe I'm not meant to have a woman, I'm meant for something greater, i.e. a life without women.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

When I hit my 30s I started feeling sort of the same about relationships. I think that we just get so used to being on our own by this point in our lives that it becomes more difficult to imagine any other way of living. I am still attracted to men, but I just can't imagine actually being in a relationship with one.

I'm a lot more picky nowadays, because ... because of everythingish.
Being picky can make a person feel like "there's no good one's left."
Then the "good ones" can get nervous or get me nervous.
Now what?
LOL
Give up?
It's logical, it makes sense. Is it possible? Maybe.


Aspies are notorious for "breaking the ice" with a sledgehammer. =)

Same here but I don't think I am "too good"; on the contrary, I think I am too not suited for a relationship.

Maybe part of the problem is that you talk about wanting a woman like you'd talk about wanting an iPod shuffle.

A relationship is a thing. A woman is a person.

Dammit, I *am* a woman, I guess I'll never get to have this "greater life" :(

Same here.. but it's mostly because I'm gay. :lol:

32 and single, don't see myself as being single forever.. just don't see myself partnered up with a woman is all. :P

A person is a kind of thing.

I don't know. Maybe. But I think it's mostly semantics. I don't have any friends either.

I think that I might possibly be too evolved to attract decent looking women, and to be a popular well-adjusted person in general. I'm a paranoid neurotic miserable loner and I think it might be because I'm evolved. I think women are genetically programmed to be attracted to unevolved men, and that the only purpose of procreation is for unevolved humans to keep coming back to Earth, aka hell, to evolve. Whereas those that are evolved no longer have to come back.

You don't need a woman all you need is your car, if you take care of your car it will take care of you, if you take care of a woman there's no guarantee shell take care of you she might even bail on you for someone who makes more money or she seems better than you and discards you like an obsolete model! Your car will always be there but when it comes to a woman there is no guarantee! At least you will be able to get another woman with your car depending on what car you drive!
