At 38, yes it does bother me. However, it's not really about the sex. I have been offered that before and said no. Why? Because the situation was purely sexual with no hope of a relationship with the other person. They just wanted to experience being someone's first time and didn't actually have feelings for me. I didn't want to be used. What I wanted then is what I want now: a relationship with mutual attraction and a personal connection. That is what I can't get and that is what I find the most depressing. Worse still, I can't even so much as get a date. No one wants to give me a chance and I find that the most depressing thing of all.
That's a good way of putting it for me. I'm not so concerned about being a virgin (need to have that emotional connection first... I'm beginning to sound like a woman

) but it does bother me that no woman has deemed me 'worthy' when all the scumbags I know are in relationships. I'm a nice caring guy but I have my wild side as hidden as it is and I'm intensely loyal and stable in every way. Whenever I hear a woman talk about how there are no honest men left, I will point out that I am one only to hear them say weeks later the exact same thing to someone else. It also doesn't help that I desire to be a family man either. I thought single women at 30 generally want kids?!
I mean, if it doesn't work out that's fine but I can't even get a chance to show who I am and the side I can't talk about in a family friendly forum. Every older married woman I know me tells me women must be insane to pass me up but here I am. I've been told it might be because there's no drama in my life but I thought marriage, kids, etc would bring more than enough for anymore, male or female! As well, I'm getting to the age where women are instantly turned away by my lack of experience as if I'm a freak as opposed to the fact I avoided relationships with them (I want quality not quantity). It's frustrating to say the least but on the plus side with all the free time I'm getting pretty ripped at the gym!
