How the hell are we supposed to reproduce if we can't even get into relationships? I'm already 20 years old and have never even been close to getting a girlfriend. They're just not interested in guys like me. I desperately want to get married eventually, but it doesn't seem like that will be possible.
It took me until I was 24 to enter my first relationship of any kind and I'm still in it 10 years later. In my case I assumed my problem this was because I am unattractive and I also didn't like socialising in the same way as my peers as I found it unpleasant or tedious. I now (as of a few weeks ago) know I have an ASD so perhaps I was unattractive (but not in the wholly superficial way I had assumed) and the lack of socialisation (again possibly ASD) reduced the chances of meeting compatible people.
I met my partner through work and it was a few years before we actually got together.
I don't know your story but I can only suggest you would be better trying to meet someone through a means that is comfortable to you (i.e. through something related to what you enjoy) rather than trying to conform to perceived social norms meeting people in pubs/bars etc. If you're not comfortable in those places (I certainly wasn't) then it's unlikely you'll find someone compatible there.
