I'm a 24 year old man. I've never had a girlfriend or any kind of intimate contact with a woman. I'm currently taking my master's in mechanical engineering.
Apart from being busy with my studies, I grew up in a difficult home environment and have a lot of trouble dealing with frustration, anxiety and other people's expectations, especially on a more intimate level (friendships and so). I also have a difficult temper at home which makes domestic life rather hard when I'm around.
So with all this in the mixture, it seemed like the natural choice to decide to stay single for life. I have absolutely nothing against women...there are the good and the bad just like everything else in life. I have nothing against relationships, all of my friends are in one and fortunately most of them happy. My own brother has a terrific girlfriend as well.
I have many good friends, both male and female. We always have plans for weekends, I exercise a lot as well and have plenty of hobbies (cinema, music, reading, plane spotting, etc).
Simply nothing good could come out of a romantic relationship with someone like myself so I invest a lot in my friendships...I believe friends can be for life.
Obviously this is also an easy decision for me because no woman has ever shown any interest in me...I have a few friends that could never keep such a decision because all women fall at their feet.

Is this a very odd choice in my generation?
It may seem odd to some just because we live in a sex-obsessed society. So people will wonder how your sexual needs are being met or whether you even have sexual needs. But there's nothing wrong with your decision to stay single if you feel that's best for you, but you could also leave yourself open to other possibilities if you aren't against them.
What would happen if a very beautiful woman did show interest? Would you simply tell her to get lost?
I don't believe that would ever happen...women have better instincts for this and they can easily sense when someone is not available. But if that happened I would show signs I'm not available in a discreet manner.
