I'm a 24 year old guy and relationships never appealed to me. I was always very focused on my personal achievements, I wasn't the popular guy in high school, my looks are average, my parents aren't rich and I never had lots of success in sports.

I have nothing against people who are in relationships, everyone knows what's best for them but to me the perfect life would be having a house of my own, full of books and a couple of German shepherds.

I go out for drinks and dinners with friends but nothing makes me stray from my personal goals. I have no baggage, no ex-girlfriend drama or traumas from toxic relationships. It's just me and myself.

I obviously never had sex or been kissed. Even though I'm curious about that, I don't like the endless troubles that might come with that.

If you're happy with your life as it is, no, there's nothing wrong what remaining single or uninterested in dating. If it works for you, continue doing what you're doing.

No there is nothin wrong with it but I think you should try to figure out why you feel this way at your age. I haven't dated either or had sex and im thirty five, I have a pitbull and live alone.

This makes me giggle a bit. My son just turned 17, and he always said the same. I don't need or want the drama Mom. He would say, "I see my friends going through all the drama and BS with girls, and I am just not interested." One day, not long ago, he met his girl. HA~
No drama, no BS with her mom. She is not that way. He has been dating her for a year now, and swears he is "in love."

One day at a time.

Focus on your career and yourself and when your in your 30s you'll have to beat the women off.

Taking his age into account, that'll probably end with major drama. But I'm glad things are working out for him.

If strangers on the internet tell you yes, will you change your ways?

Why would it end in major drama? I had my first long term relationship at 17. We dated for 5 years. He's one of my closest friends to this day.

Your life, your choice, no business of anyone else and you do not owe anyone an explaination.
