It seems like you purposely want to the OP to regret it. What is it with this forum, why is it that people just can't be happy for someone instead of projecting their feelings onto them?
I think it's absurd for someone to deny themselves the pleasure of sex, and companionship...
So if you think I should be happy with someone for doing that to themselves, I suppose that's your prerogative, but I stand by what I say
I know someone who went through a really brutal, brutal divorce in their mid 20's (shouldnt have married this chick, but that's beside the point), he fell into an emotional and psychological "hole" for lack of a better term for about 15 years, did not date anyone, did not have sex.
Found someone at around 40, married her and has been happy ever since. Regrets not "getting back in the game" earlier
So yeah... what this dude is doing is not normal, it is actually hurting himself, so I am against it

Yep because the OP doesn't deserve the right to make his own decisions. You know what's best for him.

You can't really say that though. I mean you can but it doesn't mean it's true.
Just because you think it is one of the greatest joys in the world doesn't mean other people will. It's fine if you don't think it's normal but trying to impose your views on other people is not the way to get your point across.
He may or may not be hurting himself....you really don't know that. I have heard of quite a few people who are happy without a companion. What I'm saying is...it goes both ways.
It depends on the person. Some people enjoy the company of others while some enjoy their own company.
I'm just asking this because I see many people who have similar problems but they insist on trying to get a girlfriend when clearly they don't have the conditions for such thing. Wouldn't it be more useful to accept it and take the most of the rest like I did?
It is called a biological imperitive. Evidently you do not 'suffer' from it.

And that is your opinion and only your opinion. If the OP feels he cannot handle a relationship that is his decision he has to live with the consequences with. Half the people here don't have a clue what crippling anxiety does to someone when it comes to relationships.

And that is very liberating. It doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy someone's company once in a while but I could never live together with anyone.
