While losing your virginity as a young teen may not be a great idea, still holding on to it in middle age indicates a problem in general.
I agree.

These are different ends of the spectrum.

I have known people at both ends. I think that most are somewhere in the middle.

unfortunately for those of us, because it's been so stupidly decided upon this way by the masses, we will never be able to 'catch up,' even if we wanted to. so why bother.

One of the BIGGEST turn ons to me is a guy who is studious and interested in bettering himself! Now, if only I could find any of those guys around where I live. All I get are burn-outs and slackers.
The guys who believe women aren't interested in guys who are studious and interested in bettering themselves are seriously clueless about women. But being clueless about women is nothing new here.

Of course, to be able to do this, they had confidence building attributes - looks, athletic skills and family money.

How fortunate for the 13-year-olds. Why does this sound like a date rape scenario? How many 14-year-old girls have sex?

Being successful with women isn't achieved by pushing sex on juveniles. It's about being at ease with the opposite sex, so you have no problem approaching them, talking to them, and talking to them appropriately. This can be achieved simply by participating in activities with girls and getting used to hanging around girls.

It is different for everyone. People do different things at different points, have different things work out or struggle in different areas. Some people might date a lot when they are younger, others might wait later, some might get married early, some might have many divorces, some might have none. There is no one set standard, everyone does things a little different. It doesn't really make that much of a difference all in all. Like they say, all rivers lead to the sea.

I am not certain of any 'benefit' derived from putting lots of notches on your belt; as a teen or as an adult.

I dated some in highschool and after, I married at 22 and have been married for 30 years.

It seems to me that guys who work on 'perfecting' their pick-up skills, are the same guys who end up having multiple divorces.



I agree with your sentiment that at 13 I was lacking in confidence around females, I suspect that most 13 yo kids are the same.

How much promiscuous behavior is too much?
I get what you mean... I don't think you need to be a manwhore but at least some dating and kissing in high school. I didn't do any of that **** til after I graduated. The kids who did seem to have it way easier in terms of getting laid or getting dates (depending on whether they want relationships or short little flings).

It also may explain why so many women are so distrustful of men in general from a young age.

I can pinpoint the exact moment I became distrustful of men and it was when I was in the 6th grade..so it can start early.
