Excellent point- not everyone gets the privelege of seeing the awesome powers of natural selection at work! Always look on the bright side of life.
It just seems I get the short end of the stick all the time…
Wah.
When I was 16 I lost my virginity. The girl dumped me the next day, and I went for 2.5 years without even seeing a chick again. I liked one, but she moved away after I said I liked her.
I’m seeing a pattern.
How about this… I know that the UK Dopers get together periodically… next Dopefest, try to go. If nothing else, it’s a good chance to network, and maybe another doper knows a chick.
Don’t give up hope.
Unless Ryan_Liam is abnormally bright and has been a year ahead of his age-group throughout his schooling, I think he’s at 6th form college or a further education college rather than at university. Almost everyone starts university at 18 here in the UK.
I think Francesca’s advice about getting a LiveJournal is spot on, by the way.
blogs? :rolleyes:
Started whining the lack of women at 17? Pathetic.
Where is this Next dopefest??
Yeah. Life is always unfair to you. Couldn’t be your constant whining, could it? :rolleyes:
no,actually I don’t whine, I bottle it all up and release on these boards.
Sorry. I am finding that hard to believe. If you are saying that “no girl has even looked at me for ages”, then it is probably because they find you annoying, which then leads me to believe one of two things:
1.) Folks think you are annoying in really life. (Justly or unjustly)
or
2.) You are here pulling everyones leg for attention.
To me, regardless of where you whine, it obviously reflects your personality. If it didn’t, you would be here whining. Ever stop and thing that the reason you ‘can’t get chicks’ is because some folks IRL might find you annoying? Figure out why that is and you’re problem will be solved.
I thank Kwijibo for being so frank and Brutal with the truth.
For your solace, the only waltz I’ve ever written. Imagine steel-string guitars, and a man in a cowboy hat waltzing by himself as he sings:
Trapped in the Garden of Eden
*Well now Adam and Eve, maybe you won’t believe
the place they gave up for a fruit
It was Paradise Lost, immortality tossed
when the Big Hombre gave 'em the boot.
And for many a year, they shed many a tear
but I can’t say I care 'bout their pain
Cuz each night of his life, Adam slept with his wife,
while my loneliness drives me insane.
Cuz I’m trapped in the Garden of Eden:
that beautiful, virtuous land.
On the outside, the sinners are breedin’,
while I try to breed with my hand.
When a monk wants some fun, well he’ll always get nun,
or he might give the Pope’s ring a kiss.
And the Muslims rejoice: Heaven holds for their boys
endless houris of eternal bliss.
But I’m trapped in the Garden of Eden,
and I’m longin’ for skin upon skin.
When you’re damned, you can fuck til you’re bleedin’,
but life’s bloody dull without sin.
Some folks want to come back, but they fear an attack
by Gabriel’s fiery sword.
Well, it don’t burn with ire, but with thwarted desire
from an eon alone with the Lord.
And I’m trapped in the Garden of Eden,
I’m the poster boy for purity.
Outside, they’re consortin’ with Say-ay-tan;
I consort with no one but me.
Yeah, I’m trapped in the Garden of Eden,
and there’s only one way to get free:
One apple is all that I’m nee-yee-din’,
but I can’t even find the damn tree.
No I can’t even find the damn tree!*
The Truth? Which statement?
That people IRL might find you annoying or that you are here pulling our leg for attention.
I personally believe that it might be a mixture of both. People might be turned off by you BECAUSE you are vying for attention. If that is the case, then you are obviously trying to hard and are getting in peoples faces with the old “Hey! Look at me too!”.
My advice? Stop it. Be yourself. Don’t try so hard to meet people. Don’t engage in nonsensical conversation (Like many of the posts you make here .) Got something that is really intersting to say? Then say it. Good chance that others would find it interesting too.
I’m not vying for attention,I was sharing my problems and questions with people on the board. The fact you are trying to make me out as some sort of troll is insulting.
What does never getting married have to do with losing your cherry? 
Give it time sweets, it’ll happen. And it ain’t the be all and end all you think it is at the moment.
Yes, but we generally spend most of the time in pubs…
For you? When you’re 18.
gently strokes Kwyjibo’s fur There there.

Those are the stories you hear about.
The ones you don’t hear about are the “I quit looking and led a long, happy, single life,” because that really fails as a story.
If you are 17 then you should be worrying about far more important things than losing your virginity (like studying for example).
I didn’t lose mine until I was 19, and then only because I happened to meet someone and it just happened kind of by chance.
You really need to relax about the whole thing, trust me you there are plenty of years ahead of you to meet girls and have fun.
I think this sentiment has been echoed elsewhere in this thread, but: If you go out looking for it you probably won’t get it. If you relax and forget about it then it will just happen one day when you least expect it.
If you feel you need to lose your virginity because of peer pressure then maybe hangout with some different friends.
Sorry, I meant to respond to this in my post: Those are the stories you hear about because they are normally true experiences that people have had.
