I never knew this. Interesting. I should have done it years ago.

Maybe some women would be turned off. That is perfectly all right too! Maybe hurtful at times, but not everyone is going to fit into the same box. Doesn't mean there is no hope.
Good post. I'm in my 40s, and I wouldn't reject a man because he was a virgin. It would depend on why. A lot of people are shy or don't meet the right person.

I think you're definitely in the minority.

So they say that an indicator of someone being a virgin is a fear of getting close. But in what way though? They're right if it's a fear of physical closeness but a fear of emotional closeness is not an accurate indicator at all.

Exactly. I think prostitution should be legal but I wouldn't advise someone in this situation to pay for it. It won't be the same because you still won't know how to attract women to sleep with you. Your basically back at square one but with some experience

To be honest not all of us are too concerned about attracting women and learning game. I could never learn how to spit game. I'm just not capable. A prostitute is actually one of the best options for someone who has social anxiety and isn't desirable. Paying for it really isn't as bad as it sounds. It feels much, much worse to remain a virgin for more years and not get sex.

Which is why I'd rather put the work in. It'll take longer but It'll have more meaning to me than get getting a hooker.

Yeah, it's treating the symptom, not the disease. The virginity isn't so much the turnoff as what it may indicate (social anxiety, weirdness, etc). I mean, setting religion aside, I don't think many women would turn down Tim Tebow or someone who looked like him and carried himself in that way and wasn't a football player.
