Now at my age it’s just too weird never to have had a girlfriend. That’s not insurmountable, but what may be in my case is I had a boyfriend. Lasted a few months. That was a few years back. Kind of makes me sick to think about it these days, to be honest.

Not a great thing to talk about with a prospective girlfriend. It’d be wrong to lie about this, but I’m a terrible liar so I doubt I could even do that if I wanted to. I still can’t figure out why the **** I can’t stop picturing my ideal partner as a guy, even when I find girls more attractive on average.

Really a shame because if not for some bad choices and my lack of social skills I may have had it relatively easy. I’m pretty cute (if I may say so myself) & a nice guy.

I have aspergers and an anxiety disorder, it's fun . At least I'm still younger than most people that are probably on here, but one of the things I worry about is ending up like you.... BECAUSE I have too much anxiety about dating, it's almost funny in a sad way. Also, you're right about the lack of social-skills, that's why I might seem moody on the forum, I forgot my natural state due to trying to change myself so much, and fluctuate between trying to relieve myself from stressing about social situations, and naturally trying to be overly-cautious about what I say :/

It's that bad, huh?

I don't know how old you are, but it sounds like you've got time to figure things out.

Wow, I seem to be in the minority here. Straight, extraverted, and have social skills.

I suspect something is wrong when one "figures out" social skills. It should be human nature, in healthy people at least.

It is wrong, I said it above. I also am afraid that you don't have any if you subtly brag about having it, just saying

I wouldn't call it bragging. I just thought it was odd that there were so many here with social problems. Or maybe they just tend to congregate together and discuss them in this thread.

Human nature isn't good enough in a feminist society.

As much as we want gender equality, our biology will always take over.
Female dominated cultures don't really work in nature.
