Do you personally know anyone who's reached a mature age (say 45) who was never had a relationship and/or sex with another person? Excluding people with severe mental and physical disabilities, religious convictions (nuns, priests) and extreme deformities. Especially people who seemed pretty normal but were simply never able to have a proper (more than a few dates) relationship?

I'm not saying 'lifelong virgins' specifically...I'm also interested to hear of those who still had sex (flings, prostitutes) but never had a proper gf/bf or got married.

ummmmm, what an interesting topic you have here. I do not know anyone who's never known love. I'd believe everyone has experienced love at least once.

Like my dad always said, "Even a blind hog will find an acorn."

Yes I think we've all experienced the ray of sunshine we know as love.

Although I'm not referring to BEING IN LOVE, or familial love, but an actual romantic relationship with another person.

actually i know a guy who's never had anyone as far as i know. he's a lifelong friend of my older brother. he's 55 years old and as far as i know he's not gay and i KNOW he's never been on a date with a female. i feel real bad for the guy. i think he's just super shy and backward with women and has no idea what to do. i believe he's never even been kissed.

I had a brief relationship as a teenager but never in my adult life. Not ugly, retarded or deformed, just seem to be missing something that excludes me from participating in things most people take for granted.

Define "proper gf". By typical society standards I've had two girlfriends. By my standards I've had none. But I've managed to partake in the horizontal mambo a few times and had a fwb situation that was fun and interesting but by no means romantic.

The purpose of your question is ?? You seeking to hunt them down and turn them over for re-education/extermination? Or perhaps it is disbelief that such people could exist? Maybe you wish to put them on show so others can laugh and gawk at the freaks? Hey if it pays money...

Actually, I think he might be thinking of his own potential future: Will a 25yo virgin be handicapped in his/her first relationship?
