any women here who have never dated, never had a boyfriend?
I've never had a relationship, but then I don't think one is important to me. I don't feel unfulfilled not knowing what sex is like etc., I think that part of me has just always been missing.
That said I do get vaguely attracted to people (men and women) by looks or personality, but it never goes deeper. Actually I just posted a thread about this very thing. There's a guy who likes me, I kind of like him, but I don't want to date him, and I really do not have the social skills, tact or experience to express this too him.

That's the main reason I've found, being on other forums when this subject topic up. From hearing them talk about being attacked and seeing the threads that become hostile. They cast shame onto women for privileges in dating, and how they shouldn't be complaining. It turns to 'who has it worse' and guys want to have a competition on how we get shafted more in the dating world and females always have more options. Which is absolutely true, nature is a b***h and some of us men are screwed, but it isn't helpful in the least to the women that are lonely and have trouble getting a boyfriend.
Like this one chick that was feeling down for finding guys that only wanted sex and nothing more, the replies were along the lines of 'at least you have that option'. And quickly it became party of shaming from a bunch of guys that felt they owned the right to complain due to their troubles which just threw the OP under the bus.
Also probably doesn't help that these threads become sausage fests of guys trying to reverse engineer women.
Really ? Privileges ? I don't want to be with the first man who ask me to be his boyfriend !If the man isn't interesting, **** ***. It's my life, I want to be independant and don't be with the initelligent ones, because I don't have choices. You can say : What do you say ? The inintelligent ones ? Are they serious ?
Despite I don't have a lot of relationships, I know I merit somethings and not others. Personnaly, I know the most important thing in live can be your choice of lover for the futur, so you need to decide which one you prefer. That can take times, but I have times, patience. I want to improve myself on my favorite things before sentimental things. In the past, I was alone, so I can't understand the man, who are egocentric. I am not ready to find my pair, because I want to progress in my favorite things, before anythings else. In the past, I couldn't. Now, I can.
I hate the romantic bad things in the story. I hate romantic cliché. I want to be a great writer, and my lover will be as I will decide. I want to change what I was in the past, because I disliked me. I change my life to be able to find someone who likes the same valours that me.
For the moment, I can't have a boyfriend, because all the ones I want are not interrested by me. So I don't need someone else in my life. Dot.

Well, that's the end of Boo's self-esteem.

Yea, privileges, women have the upper hand for choosing a mate and providing sex. Not complicated stuff. Especially with online dating these days. Lol if you're an average guy going to create a profile and sit and wait for women to ask you out.
All of the FA women I've known have had thirsty guys after them but they were too picky or unaware these guys were trying to game them.

What is going on here? I thought Boo was going to propose to me.
If you don't want him, Miss D, I don't want him either.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WOMEN DON'T PARTICIPATE ON THESE THREADS!! !! !
Statements like that make me so angry. Have you considered that women are individuals who come from all sorts of backgrounds who may have circumstances you don't know about?
Finding the right person isn't just a case of signing up to a dating site and sitting and waiting (although if that has worked for anyone on here then that is wonderful and I'm not knocking it).
"Oh, but then the women who won't sign up to dating sites are too picky", the shout comes back.
No, we're looking for someone compatible with our individual lives, not just any bloke that shows an interest.
Circumstances are important.

But that can’t work if they do the same to that someone else. That advice can only be followed selectively.

There are two funny things in your reasoning:
• What you said about dating sites can be applied to real life, too. Finding the right person isn’t just a case of meeting people and waiting. “Oh, but women who avoid any social contact beyond the minimum strictly required by their job or other existing commitments are too picky”. No, they’re looking for someone compatible with their individual lives, not just any bloke that shows an interest. If this is a reason to avoid dating sites, it is to avoid any other way of meeting men, too.
• There’s nothing inherently gender-specific in what you said, so, if those are the reasons women don’t participate in these threads or don’t join dating sites, men shouldn’t be expected to, either, but the fact is that men very much do. There must be something else going on to explain the difference. My guess is that what got you so angry is true. The only counterargument you gave is … your anger.

spiderpig, normally the things you say have at least some semblance of reasonableness, but this time you just sound like a trollbot repeating a formula ("this is the flaw in your argument" in response to someone's personal feelings and opinion about a situation, then goes on to talk about something completely besides the point, then concludes that proof has been found for... something), like you're simply combining random pieces of text that will add fuel to the fire
you may not realize it, but sometimes the way a person feels about a situation is the very point, and no further arguments or reasoning are needed to prove anything. and no proof is supposed to be offered anyway. too often people here seem to be obsessed with proofs, as if all human communication is supposed to be one person proving or failing to prove something to another
