Don't let other people set guidelines on how to live your life.

You probably don't even really know how they are getting those girls.

They could be pretending to be someone else, and not being themselves. People my age and younger often play games with one another and are very naive to these types of things. It is very rare to actually find true love when you are young. Hormones can easily mimic those feelings, and when it wears off it causes a great deal of emotional pain.

All I am saying is, you should really focus on yourself, and your time line. I believe just about everyone wants to experience what a relationship and love feels like. I am one of them, but you can't set your expectations based on what everyone else is doing. You'll never be happy that way because you won't be focused on what it is YOU actually want.

If focusing on getting a girl and getting a relationship is making you bad about yourself then focus on something and quit focusing on other people.

Chances are by the time you're that age you'll have zero desire to attract and date a girl in their early 20s, so it will be a non issue. I thought the same way when I was in my 20s, but by my early/mid 30s 21-23 yo women looked like high schoolers.

In my experience, my luck with them is about as good now at age 31 as it was when I was 21. Probably a little better, because I'm far more confident, even though I'm in slightly less good shape than I was at 21 (need to lose about 10 lbs and tone up).

I have all my hair, which is a huge advantage. Unfortunately for some guys they get the male pattern baldness & it makes them look old, quick.

This is true though. The younger ones are not significantly better at sex than women my own age and the ones I tried to date were emotional wrecks. I got really tired of their confusion about life and vapid attitude.

Yeah, this kind of thing doesn't come up.

Reminds me of the flawed belief that you have to be ripped to get laid (I wish I was making this up). As long as you look alright in clothes you are fine, a woman isn't going to bring the hookup to a halt just because you end up having a couple extra pounds hanging off your midsection when the clothes come off. If the clothes are coming off you are fine.

Yeah, but that whole process of talking to girls and trying to attack them and get into their pants -- that all requires massive amounts of game playing and, for a lot of guys, being phony. It's considered the cool thing to do -- to play that whole social/dating/mating game -- but many guys (and girls for that matter) are simply not good at or, in some cases, unwilling, to play those games. People who are either very shy and/or introverted, or people who are not into conforming to all the cool social rules of the day (non-conformists), are often the ones who don't partake in all of the expected social/sexual behaviors during young adulthood. But I do realize that conformity is not always bad, and that by 'playing the game' you often increase your chances of success -- but many people find that whole process to be disingenuous, confusing, tiring, and fake.
