You said it very well... That is what I have termed " Nook'em, Hook'em, and Crook'em."

As for me, I guess, at 37,going on 38, I too have become a lonely old man, as it has been a LOONNNGGG time, since I have a woman in my life, who wanted a REAL relationship, friendship, and such, and was not just "playing the game", or "wanting another score". At least 3 women I have known, who wanted a relationship with me, demanded sex at once in that relationship, and when I refused.. end of relationship, and in one case... set-up for a false sex-harrassment charge(practical joke against me, really), that caused me to have to leave a job, as some of the management evidently played along with the little joke against me. (BTW-- this was in the early '90's).

Today, I am still alone.. Considered too poor, too ugly,too different,too extreme, too nerdy, too square, even for conservative and "Christian" women.

Oh come on man, cut yourself some slack, I'll bet you're none of those things. I'm willing to bet that your low self-esteem isn't helping things though. The only real trick to dating is keeping yourself in social situations.

Keep your chin up, you're far from old, and you never know what's right around the corner.

As for the sex thing, it might be difficult to find a woman who's like minded about chastity, but surely they're out there.
