I urge you not to post anymore until you have been in therapy for a while.

I can't help but feel a bit frustrated and angry about women. All the ones I've met and done anything with ended up causing me a lot of stress in the end. Every situation has followed nearly the same cycle and I've gotten so fed up with it. As horrible as it sounds I feel as if I can't trust women much, especially those where I live.

It surely feels like a race against time.
You might be on to something, to find out that a guy has never had sex compared to her could make women feel some type of way about her sexual history. So they flip it around and say something must be wrong with men who haven't had sex by a certain age.

The common denominator is *you*. Not the singular entity of "women" because there is no such thing, but you. Calling women "used up *****" shows what kind of person you are and again, it's no wonder others respond to that.

I have had sex, but the problem in my case is that I'm roughly four years behind in the experience department and I've never been in a proper relationship either. I think my development in this sort of thing was just stunted during the critical period, when for most it would have worked out on its own. The environment I was in, along with my personality and mannerisms at the time were just not conducive to developing those skills when I still could in the normal fashion. At a certain point I believe it becomes too late for one to catch up.

Is it merely a coincidence that most of the “I can’t get a date/girlfriend” or “no one likes me, I’m ugly” types that we find around here, seem to have other gaping problems, that are apparent within just a few posts or less?

I think not....

Well whatever you do I wish you luck in the future because I didn't enjoy any part of dating or relationships.

Truly is a harsh mistress, isn't it?

No, it's not a "harsh mistress."

You are not a hapless victim here. Dating is not someone who does something TO you. You are a willing and accountable participant in every one of your personal interactions.

Your best bet is to focus on therapy and real introspection so you can understand how YOU are keeping yourself from being happy.
