Feeling "resentment" over not getting what you hoped for years later implies
A. A massive sense of entitlement
B. Emotional retardation (the rest of us remember our pasts fondly especially the carefree young years)
C. An ignorant assumption others were rooting like rabbits (some were, a lot weren't).
D. A totally inappropriate level of anger more suited to a spoiled toddler who is accustomed to getting his way at all times.
A,C,and D are absolute bullcrap.
In B you are assuming that everyone - "the rest of us" actually had "carefree young years" to remember fondly. That is naive, pretentious and callous. If there is emotional retardation anywhere, it shows in this post.

I doubt that someone who came from a broken home or grew up in the foster system has fond memories of their youth.
So - what issues do you have that this whole thread is bringing out?
Lucario, it seems to me that you have some justifiable reasons for having deep issues generally. So I can't help but wonder if your thread topic might be more related to those (family issues, perhaps resentment at getting a raw deal while growing up) than it is to your college experience, if you see what I mean. Because your college experience (i.e. "not getting any") really wasn't that unusual. You deserve to be happy. Have you tried to find a good therapist for your family-of-origin issues? I mean that sincerely.

If you only knew........

I'm not the OP, Ruth. I just responded to the posting. The way this thread has diverged and degenerated, I'm sorry I did.

I said as much. But I'm still not proud of it.

I've been trying to find one for years............
Universities aren't institutions staffed with "comfort women" there for the gratification of the male student body, btw. There are always some women willing to oblige, but others resent the implication and the behavior that goes with it.
This bears repeating. I would have slept with more guys in college if so many of them weren't such weirdos and douchebags about "getting it."
Only thing that bothers me is that I had no idea that my high school and college years would be the best years of my life, and that dating and sex would be so difficult and so rare after college.
Wow, It's turning out to be the opposite for me.
