Just exactly how many men have "crippling social anxiety" as you put it? It's a very small number, even among men who are over the age of 25 who have no experience with the opposite sex. Like I mentioned earlier, most of these men typically hold stable jobs and lead stable lifestyles for the most part. The type of crippling social anxiety you speak of would not allow them to do such things.

It seems most of you people simply cannot conceive that unattractive but socially adjusted guy and mentally healthy guy cannot get with women purely because of his appearance.

Why tell them that? Don't tell them you're inexperienced. What they don't know won't hurt them.

Based on the number who post here about being unable to meet women? I'd have to say quite a few.

I was going to say about half! Sad, when a course of paxil or similar could help them see themselves as so much more than the "ugly" guy in the mirror.

I think to each his own. I'm just not the one whose willing to give someone that chance. Been there, done that. It wasn't a good idea for me.

The amount of sexual experience is irrelevant to me on its own. Sexual compatibility with me is what matters.
Besides, when i consider the vast realm of sexual possibilities out there, i'm probably "inexperienced" in the scheme of things, tbqh.

But getting you to drop your emotional attachments and think rationally is looking hopeless, to me.
The only one here having an emotional response and thinking irrationally is you babe.
