An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

That's fine. All I'm saying is that, time and again, it is clear that some posters often speak strongly about CTB, but do not actually want to CTB, which gives justification to pro-lifers who claim that all people who want to CTB actually need "help." In other words, CTB is never an option.
Again, that is fine. See the reply above. You can't exhaust all resources if you opt-out before time, time being one of the most fundamental resources. I hope you see where this goes.
I understand you completely. I've known plenty of people through out my life in your same issue. Being inexperienced is a hell of a fucking thing, and I honestly have no answer for it. There are some out there who are willing to give inexperienced people a try and help them learn, but its very few and they will more than likely not stick around. You are definitely right about most girls seeing your inexperience as a red-flag and rejecting you for it. Without relationship experience it's hard to tell what you want out of it, or what kind of person you're looking for if that makes any sense. Later on in age when people are ready to settle down the last thing they want is some one who doesn't know what they want. But in the end who tf knows, 90% of the relationships I was in I was absolutely miserable and wanted to blow my brains out regardless.
I think in those studies, they found that the majority of young people still at least do it by their EARLY 20s but late 20s is still too late, though this is indeed why I'm sort of postponing my CTB until I'm 28. Even so, a lot of people who waited to have sex still could have had fulfilling boyfriends/girlfriends even when they were younger so they still have that experience at least.
Well, who gives a fig what they think. This is a pro-choice site. No one has to off themselves.
Why do people stay in non married relationships for years if they're miserable?
Maybe I've been spared more pain by not being in relationships.
You don't know that for a fact.
I suppose there's a small chance that maybe I'll meet someone that can tolerate my presence for an extended amount of time, while I in turn also tolerate theirs for the same extended period of time but that could also just be a fairy tale even though it's not technically impossible.
That's not a good thing to say to young people. The internet has disadvantaged a lot of young people as they interact with people they wouldn't otherwise interact in real life, like a 49 year old guy fed up with life. Then we feed our life experiences to kids devoid of experience.
You are having a hard time as it is, no need to worry about all the hypotheticals. If you create a negative expectation, you'll have trouble seeing anything that might happen as a positive. I am like that too, and I am starting to think that is one of the (largely overlooked) reasons why my life is so shit at the moment.I suppose there's a small chance that maybe I'll meet someone that can tolerate my presence for an extended amount of time, while I in turn also tolerate theirs for the same extended period of time but that could also just be a fairy tale even though it's not technically impossible.
I was also thinking more about the fact that I'm seemingly doomed to develop an unhealthy attachment no matter who the person ends up being which is definitely at least going to be bad at least in the beginning no matter what, although I guess it can be overcome if the other person is willing but to them, that's a lot of effort to put into someone like me. I guess it was just more dramatic for me to word it that way since I'm trying to convince myself more than anyone else really.
You probably have a point there. I guess I'll just continue hoping for a miracle in the next couple years.
You have to take action. Approach women more to gain experience. Do you use any dating apps? I know it's a lot harder for men to find someone, and that you have slimmer chances of success than women, but if you don't even try, failure is guaranteed.
This is the stuff feminists are feeding our young boys. Boys can get any girl they want.
I actually do use a lot of them atm, currently I use Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, and CoffeeMeetsBagel almost daily but I rarely get matches on any of them and when I do, they're almost never people I'd be compatible with, even after I chat with them to try to gauge interest, nothing comes out of it. I think maybe the kind of person I'd be attracted to would not be using dating apps in the first place. Either that or, like the woman who messaged me from here, she'd have to be the one to reach out to me first since I hate the thought of having to chase after people because I can't get over how scummy it makes me feel, though if there were no pandemic I'd definitely try to go out at least a little more to try to find people or at least be seen so people can find me.
You sound older and a bit out of touch. Do you realize that there is a whole online subculture of men who cannot find a girlfriend and who have been single all their lives?
Why do you feel scummy if you make the first move?
