I am not a fan nor participant of it either. I didn't have my first real relationship until age 26. That was when I realized so many the same age were not really experienced in an emotional sense either. In other words, you are not really "behind". Granted, I am a bit of an acquired taste, myself.
Although another issue can be that people with, er, more "traditional values" (not into hook-up culture) tend to pair off young. But some of us were busy exploring other aspects of life and, you know, growing up. I thought I had missed the bus too, but it is probably better that I had extra time to grow up.
I mean, I'm sure there are women out there that want a traditional relationship and what not, but to me, I feel like they are far and few in between now. At least in my experience anyway.
And same here. I was way too busy exploring other aspect of my life and learning more about myself (and still am to some extent).
My brother was about your age when he married. He never had a lot of girlfriends either. And he is very good-looking. I have no idea what took him so long - it used to worry the family a little.
I'm in the same boat except in not very good looking.

Why did your family worry? Was he depressed about it or something?
The guys who can't get dates or relationships have one thing in common. They aren't attracted to the kinds of women who would like them. If they were, dating would be much easier for them than they think it is for women.
Ehh I'm attracted to alot of different women not just stereotypical hot women..But id rather be alone the rest of my life then be with someone I have no physical attraction to..

Probably wondered he never (or very, very rarely) dated.
I know for a fact that my Mom constantly wonders why I've never had a girlfriend, or even dated for that matter. She has asked me in the past if I've found anyone I'm attracted to, and I said no, not really (just to get her off my back). Obviously, it was a lie.
It's like they don't know dating has a lot of luck involved in it, more than a lot of people are willing to admit.
Internet, social media and cell phone usage (along with dating apps, etc.) has caused this.
You're lucky you aren't dating in this day and age..lol
I'm sure it's most likely social media and you also have these tacky apps like Tinder and websites like Ashley Madison as well....
Yeah.. you're right, I'm glad I'm not out there, I do feel for the 20 something guy.... he doesn't really know how to act around women.... cause some women are old fashioned and others aren't'.... a much bigger disparity than when I was single ready to mingle.
I grew up before the Internet was popular... it started to take off to the general public at around 95 or so, it really blew up a few yrs later....
The internet has been around since the 60's... originally developed for the military, it then morphed into usage for professors at universities to share data...
Then the 90's came and it became more popular with the general public and with it came........ PORN....
Like all good inventions... it always seems to boil down to f ing porn.........

You're young so there's a good chance that eventually you'll find someone. Most people do pair up at some point in their lives.
Nursing homes are filled with women so if you live long enough, you'll have pretty good luck with the ladies in your old age. Hang in there and be patient! Life is short, you'll be there before you know it.

I've never understood why family members worry about people's dating lives because it's not their life it's yours (or whoever else is in that situation).
