I think a lot of us have seen 100 threads where people are told "don't worry you're still young it will come" etc
and this seems to be said no matter what age the person is until they hit 40.

This is said even for those who are past 25 even though the average human have started their process of actually dieing(passing physical peak) at this point.

So at what age do you think a person Should have at least a little experience or have had a relationship etc? We' are talking normal case person here, not the "IF this/that"-scenarios.

When would you say it's time to start looking around, or when do you think it should become a concern to pay attention to?

I'm trying to make this a more general thread to skip the personal chit-chat about how much and where I go out, work out/lose weight, join social groups, to improve myself, build confidence, wait for better times and [insert other standard CD-advice].

The best time to enter into a serious relationship is when you are ready and want one. Only you know when that is, and it has no "number".

Part of me wants to say mid-20s, part of me wants to say it doesn't matter. I think every person is different, and I think these ridiculous "well you OUGHT to have had a relationship/sex/threesome/wild orgy by X age" statements are one of the many things deteriorating society.

One should be wary of putting restraints, rules and lines on life. Nothing matters unless we make it matter.
Love can forgive anything.

So when a guy is 96 years old, and have never had a date, even though he has desired women since he was 15 nothing is wrong?

Correct. It is not everyone's path in life to pair with another.

Well who is the man? Did he consciously choose to spurn love in favor of other pursuits? Was he born with some sort of deformity that turned most people away from him? Or was he really just always an ******* that pushed people away from him? You can't come up with a simplistic example like a "96 year old guy who's never had a date." It's gotta be bigger, holistic.

A dude who is 96 years old, had a normal day job, looked average, averagely polite, with average family backround, with the same animalistic desire to F!!! somebody as every other guy in history of mankind.

How could he conciously chose to spurn love if he had desired women since he was 15? gees.
