Judging from most of the comments on this article, I've come to the conclusion that I am totally screwed (figuratively, of course).

Being 33, male, and a virgin, it seems the only people who don't think there's something wrong with a person like me are either married and/or male, so no help there. Considering the stack of Playboy, Maxim, and other similar magazines over in the corner, and my reaction to them, I'm neither homosexual nor asexual.

I do have to confess, though, at this point my celibacy is not entirely of my choosing. Somewhere along the way, I never learned how to start a relationship which would lead to anything more than friendship. I've known several attractive, intelligent women since high school, and have been considered a "buddy" by all of them. Of course, I've received plenty of advice from those friends and from family, most of which boils down to "Just be yourself, and it will happen when you least expect it." Well, being myself hasn't gotten me anywhere yet, and I don't know how my expectations can be any lower than they are now.

If I have any problem, it may be that I'm just too dense to notice the women that may be interested.

LOL I sympathize. At one point in my life, I felt so unlovable that I completely missed two separate girls that were hitting on me. In hindsight, it was obvious. Now, I always wonder what signs I'm missing currently.

About 5 years ago, I was 27 and in that same boat. Then I met someone who didn't think there was anything wrong with a person like me. Only problem was she got a blood clot in her lung fourteen months later.

Still, I did get almost six months of marital 'perks'.

I commend you and others.
One problem you will have is feminism has given women the right to drink and screw like men.
Now when you have been a perfect gentlemen and have not tried to get into a womans pants by the third date there is something wrong with you.
Women will not admit it because they dont want you to think they have no morals but the truth is they think you cant get it up or you have some other problem and they abandon you.
Theres no easy way around it. I have dated a few times and have heard from the dates friends that they suspect something is wrong because I wont sleep with a slut and I surely wont spend the rest of my life with one.
Thats what our society has become.
Women use to keep their legs closed till a man promised marriage. Now if you have nots crewed her by the third date there is something wrong with you and from reading all the replies I am deeply saddended that "conservatives" here at FR feel the same way.
