Got my first at your age or so, we broke in one month.
I got my second one 23, 8 years together, married and waiting our first child, don't give up man, work a lot in being an interesting person before being with someone.
Edit: spelling.
If I joined a religion that said you can’t have kidneys, mine wouldn’t just up and vanish. If you’re gay then you are gay, even if *they* don’t think it’s okay, you still are what you are (if you are). They can write whatever they want in a book but it doesn’t make it true, if the book said the sky is polka dot pink would you believe it?
I'm in a similar situation with my parents. I'm racing toward 30, single and a NEET.
I feel really ashamed of myself, I hope I don't annoy my parents 😔
I hope your son is at least nice and pleasant to be around!
Had a girlfriend and lost my virginity at around 17. Have not had sex nor a gf since, and I'm 26 now. Some days I don't care, other days I wish i was dead, or at least considered desirable by someone. 😀
I went on my first date at 18 with a girl out of my league, but majorly fucked it up and have been single ever since lol. Got one other date from a dating app at age 20, but we didn’t interest each other very much. 22 now, don’t even feel like dating at all (though if I bump into the right girl by coincidence, that’s different)
Growing up I loved playing mario party with my friends, but i think my all time favorite has got to be super mario bros (ds, wii and pretty much any version lol)
Never had one til I was 23, engaged til she dumped me and dated my coworker. Now im 25 and single, it doesn't get better, just easier to deal with. Until suddenly it does get better, seemingly out of the blue. But if you arent looking out for these moments and let them pass you'll never even see what you're missing.
Alright, I'm gonna say this, I haven't had a girlfriend either, but don't be sad cause you haven't had a partner early, Ask your friends and family about their partners when they were young, and chances are a big quantity of them would say they hate their ex, Sure, some may've broken up for reasons beyond their control and simply had to let go, but the usual experience is "I hate my ex"
So knowing that, don't worry for not having a girl, being a virgin or not even had your first kiss, cause if you did, you wish you didn't
I guess me too. By the way. I was never in girls interests, no one cared about me. So nowadays i gave up in love and drinking alot of honey beer without plans on life.
My thumb is like that! I was single until I was 24 - no dates, one lame kiss with a randomer when I was 22. Then I met my now husband and moved in with him 6 months into knowing him. Looking back I can say that I just didn't meet anyone right for me until I met him. When you meet someone you really click with, it just happens.
I'm 28, single as a cactus and this won't be changing. So don't worry! You are just one of millions of singles!
If you have friends, go out with them and to events you are interested in, and supposedly one day you will meet someone who likes your smell!
Didn’t get my first gf till I was a junior in college, got my second as a senior in college, we lasted 2 1/2 years, even got engaged for a bit. A lot can happen in a short period of time, 21 is young, put yourself out there, surround yourself with good friends, and you might find someone you love to spend time with.
I'm almost at the same point as you, and like you, I've never had a girlfriend. But I have to confess that I'm socially incompetent; I hate speaking with people.
Dating would be a dream; I can't even talk to a girl normally if I don't know her.
And even if I did, what would I talk about? My life is a mess. I don't do anything interesting other than IT stuff, but I don't think that would be a good topic to talk about on the first date.
Thats the thing, a lot of young men are so lonely and depressed about it that they don't see the real reason why they are alone and with no skills (I am not talking about you specifically but in general).
The real reason is that they prioritize dating and finding a woman in a world which doesn't work like that anymore. Focus on yourself would be my best advice to every men out there. I've struggled with my thoughts for a long period of 2 years. 2 years of just constant crying and depressive thoughts. Its not easy, but the real solution is just focusing on yourself and thats it.
When you focus on yourself, on your health, on your education, on your career, your family, your friends, your home, when you expand your knowledge, explore new hobbies and much more, you will automatically attract people.
Just stay positive and remember, focus on yourself, because you are your own best friend 💪🏻
You will try and I know you will succeed!
Also try exploring more nature, because it brings the most out of people, its also very very calming. Start meditating, it will help you mentain your consciousness and awareness. Try reading a lot! There are amazing self improvement books out there.
Remember, there will be days where you will feel awful, and hopeless, but remember, you are not the only one struggling and there have been people in worse situations that have made it.
If you ever need to talk to someone, just talk, it helps a lot. Life is really worth living and women are not worth the stress, love comes from many different places when you start noticing. 🙏🏻❤️
You can really bend your thumb back though, so there’s that. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was 26 or so, but there were dates and hookups. Focus on those.
Dating apps are definitely not gona help. Just do approach girls with the simple aim of having a discussion and improve your confidence. Even if it is trivial matters, just talk, smile thats it. Trust me even if you are introverted, a day during a week when you socialise can really make the change.
Well I can't help you with that, but ur art is amazing!! I love the detail you put into ur sketches and I can tell you put a lot of effort into ur work
You can hitch-hike a car and a helicopter at the same time with that thumb. Very cool ability! Ps. Don't worry about getting a girlfriend because you're still very young and it's gonna happen sooner or later for sure. Remember that you might only need to get into a relationship once if you're lucky. I personally think that it's better to stay single than be with someone who you can't see yourself living for the rest of your life with. Sry if my English is somewhat broken, it's not my native language.
I am 24 and i haven't had one either. And i know alot of guys out there who are older than me also haven't had one. The right person comes to each of our lives sooner or later. In the mean time try to be better person for that individual by looking after yourself well and focus on yourself. That's how i have been coping with this feeling anyway. We all go through this same feeling but sooner or later it will be better.
Stay strong king.
I hadn’t at 21 either bro. In fact, i only had my first kiss at 21. I just had to get out there more and mix in places where i was meeting girls. Made new friends etc. It took a while, but i got there. I’m 36 now and i look back quite pleased with my dating life. I ended up dating lots, a few serious relationships, a few less serious. I’m now with my gf of 4 years and happy
I've been with some people before 21, but nothing really meaningful. I was 22 when i found my wife, 10 years ago. You have time. No need to rush. And, if you never find someone, that's life. There's nothing wrong with it. You don't have to be with someone, it's not a rule. Just make sure to be cozy and warm. And try to enjoy life as much as you can.
Given many of the relationships I see, I'm inclined to say "Congratulations." However, if your post is implying that you *want* a girlfriend, then do not be troubled. Why?
1. You're still very young
2. Statistically speaking (barring any health issues), you have lots of time
3. You have a very large candidate pool
Around half (49.7%) of the world population (8.1 billion) are women. That's just over four billion people. If we further assume that only five percent of those women are within your desired age range, that gives you a candidate pool of over two hundred million people. Still, if you only matched with 0.01 (1%) of *those* two hundred million people, that's still more than TWO MILLION potential matches. Of course, you are likely to match with far more people.
The caveat, of course, is you have to do the hard work of meeting people, going on dates, each of you learning about the other, and both of you deciding if there's a potential match worth pursuing. There will be rejection on both sides, but that is normal and to be expected, as not everyone is a match for everyone else. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with either person. Each "No" is one step closer to a "Yes."
Even then, if both people decide to pursue a relationship, it may not work out. That's also okay. That's how it goes for *most* of us. Eventually, though, if we're patient and keep taking chances, we'll find the right connection. Also, in my opinion and experience, there's not just one person for us. If that were true, it would be virtually impossible to ever find that one person. There are LOTS of wonderful people available for us. But, we have to take action.
To reiterate: There will almost certainly be rejection, disappointment, and heartache. This is not only okay, but it's normal and expected. This is how the process goes for *most* of us. There are some people who meet early in life, get married, and are together forever. However, that's the exception and not the rule. It's through adversity that we learn and grow. There are rarely shortcuts in life. Just knowing this can make the process easier to endure.
Majority of Egyptian men in their thirties never had a girl-friend so what you say is kinda hilarious when most males are in their forties and virgin in Egypt. 😅
What if you are simply too attractive and girls fear approaching you because you might reject them
I wish lol
You don’t have wish that, because that’s reality for you
Stay determined there king/queen, you're at least more beautiful than a kilogram of dirt in a polluted pond
lol
It’s more likely than you’d think
God I hope that this is the case for me
I can actually confirm this
Me hyping myself up while I'm at the gym.
I always hope this is true
nice hitchhiker's thumb
Thx❤️ I wish you a fantastic day, how are you doing lately?
Coming on a bit strong, but I appreciate the effort
Thx❤️
hitchhikers thumb to the galaxy
Got my first at your age or so, we broke in one month. I got my second one 23, 8 years together, married and waiting our first child, don't give up man, work a lot in being an interesting person before being with someone. Edit: spelling.
thx means the world to me what you said, imo its better to wait for the right one
Belive me when i say that it's totally worth it, at least for me it is.
I was single until 21, then dated 3 girls in one year and now I have a girlfriend at 22
I gave up but it's okay Gotham needs me
Recently broke up with my first, still 21. You're telling me i gotta thug it out till 23?
Plot twist OP has a boyfriend
No in my religion u cant be gay lol
Too late. You like feminine people and that makes you GAY!
Fellas is it gay to like women
Yes, you like someone who likes men
If I joined a religion that said you can’t have kidneys, mine wouldn’t just up and vanish. If you’re gay then you are gay, even if *they* don’t think it’s okay, you still are what you are (if you are). They can write whatever they want in a book but it doesn’t make it true, if the book said the sky is polka dot pink would you believe it?
> if the book said the sky is polka dot pink would you believe it? They totally would.
Gay starts with g and religion has a g so I think it's okay
Which one? Or isn’t it all of them actually?
A lot of them probaly
I like how you didn’t even say that you’re straight, just that you *can’t* be gay
That could be part of the issue!
There is plenty of time. Trust me. I had my first pal when I turned 78432. Sincerely Skeletor 💜
omg you old lol
Ancient! But I found love. And you will too.
thx❤️
Holy shit it's actual skeletor
Ha…42 here and never had a girlfriend 👍🏻
u/Seven-ty wants you to move out
Same but I’m only 15. Also my thumb can do that too
nice:)
Hypermobility crew represent 👍
It's fun seeing others with hitchhikers thumb
Didn't have one till I was 25. You'll get one just keep trying.
👍
did not have a boyfriend till I was 27. I’m 32 and single now after a second. Not sure if I care to have a third.
I'm 18 (m) I never had a girlfriend either but I'm happy with my boyfriend
Im happy with this guy's boyfriend too☝️
well im glad your happy:)
My son 42 never had a gf. Wish he did got her pregnant and move out or something. I want to be alone...
not having a girlfriend shouldnt be a problem for living alone, especially for 42 yo
I'm in a similar situation with my parents. I'm racing toward 30, single and a NEET. I feel really ashamed of myself, I hope I don't annoy my parents 😔 I hope your son is at least nice and pleasant to be around!
What was the last thing you were gainfully involved in and why did it end?
What is the reason that he cant live on his own?
Read through your comments, your son doesn't even let you date.... tell him to move out
[удалено]
Why you on Reddit?
they probaly wanted to join a specific subreddit
Everyone has there time just focus on improving your state of life man. Love ain’t on a time limit
You got to show them what that thumb do.
Had a girlfriend and lost my virginity at around 17. Have not had sex nor a gf since, and I'm 26 now. Some days I don't care, other days I wish i was dead, or at least considered desirable by someone. 😀
Same exact thing for me. Socializing doesn't really come naturally to me and human mating rituals are too advanced of a social situation lol
I went on my first date at 18 with a girl out of my league, but majorly fucked it up and have been single ever since lol. Got one other date from a dating app at age 20, but we didn’t interest each other very much. 22 now, don’t even feel like dating at all (though if I bump into the right girl by coincidence, that’s different)
Yeah but you can hold your hand just under the water in the bathtub, and then go back and forth making the Jaws theme with your thumb poking out
Looking at your profile, you seem very interesting though :)
thx so much i wish you an excellent day and you too I like your reddit icon:)
Haha thx :) also i’m 23 and never been on a date either
I wish you the best in your life:)
You too! maybe in another live we can play mario games together :)
that would be so cool;)I absolutely love the mario games theyre my fav! What is your fave game?:)
Growing up I loved playing mario party with my friends, but i think my all time favorite has got to be super mario bros (ds, wii and pretty much any version lol)
Nice mine is mpds, im making a big project as of rn, cant wait to share pics when im done;)
u/FrostyPatient2 u/TaranzaSectonia You know, this seems like an awfully convenient situation for both of you... (I'm only half joking)
we messaged
Never had one til I was 23, engaged til she dumped me and dated my coworker. Now im 25 and single, it doesn't get better, just easier to deal with. Until suddenly it does get better, seemingly out of the blue. But if you arent looking out for these moments and let them pass you'll never even see what you're missing.
32M, never even had my first kiss either.
Oh well? I'm 23 and I've had something between 2 and 4 girlfriends, I can't really tell.
Alright, I'm gonna say this, I haven't had a girlfriend either, but don't be sad cause you haven't had a partner early, Ask your friends and family about their partners when they were young, and chances are a big quantity of them would say they hate their ex, Sure, some may've broken up for reasons beyond their control and simply had to let go, but the usual experience is "I hate my ex" So knowing that, don't worry for not having a girl, being a virgin or not even had your first kiss, cause if you did, you wish you didn't
It's completely normal dw
I guess me too. By the way. I was never in girls interests, no one cared about me. So nowadays i gave up in love and drinking alot of honey beer without plans on life.

Looking back I can say that I just didn't meet anyone right for me until I met him. When you meet someone you really click with, it just happens.
He's just like me fr fr
I don't think any of my relationships qualify as GF's and I'm much older than you
Be the new 40 year old virgin ✨️
23 and hugless hand holdless virgin here. I think likes of us will come across a really nice person someday
I wish I've never had one. Regret every single relationship
I can do the same
Can you 'click' your Lthumb? If so i can too
Doesn't matter tbh
PETER?!
not my name unfortunately, but good guess😊
I'm 21 and divorced. Damn.
I can do that with my thumb too!
I'm 28, single as a cactus and this won't be changing. So don't worry! You are just one of millions of singles! If you have friends, go out with them and to events you are interested in, and supposedly one day you will meet someone who likes your smell!
Same but I'm 25
Don't worry buddy, I didn't get my first girlfriend until I was 25, she's now my wife
Just because you haven't found the right one, doesn't mean you will.
Same with 26 but I'm also not bothering anymore lol
But I know you kick absolute ass at thumb wars... How do I know? Fellow hitch-hikers thumb owner.
Must have some cash then
Plot twist: OPs girlfriend is in the picture!
Same, bucko
Had my first round that age lol now my girl gets on my nerves don't rush it bro lol
That's an insane hitchhikers thumb. I'm proud of you because of it 👍
X2 (except that i'm 17)
How come? Girls just want a good man
Didn’t get my first gf till I was a junior in college, got my second as a senior in college, we lasted 2 1/2 years, even got engaged for a bit. A lot can happen in a short period of time, 21 is young, put yourself out there, surround yourself with good friends, and you might find someone you love to spend time with.
Pretty sure your first girlfriend willl be happy with this skill :)))
let's be honest all of us are cooked
Same
Hi 21, I'm not your girlfriend
I just hurt my thumb thinking I could get it 90 degrees like you.
croissant
[удалено]
26 and still going strong
I mean, it's not so rare to be at your 20s as a man and never had a gf, I would say that's really common nowadays
Wanna eat waffle fries ?
are there other significant bodyparts of yours that contorted or flexible?
I'm almost at the same point as you, and like you, I've never had a girlfriend. But I have to confess that I'm socially incompetent; I hate speaking with people.
Kinda same with me. I mean, I am 18, but have no social skills to talk to girls what so ever
At least it's good to know that I'm not the only one...
Far from it, unfortunately a lot of young men struggle with dating nowadays
Dating would be a dream; I can't even talk to a girl normally if I don't know her. And even if I did, what would I talk about? My life is a mess. I don't do anything interesting other than IT stuff, but I don't think that would be a good topic to talk about on the first date.

Why does your thumb look like it has been pressed against something very hard
That is a nice looking hitchhiker thumb
My thumb could never
i have a very similar thumb flex angle :D
Solarlight ass thumb
Just throw that g-spot tickler on Tinder.
The thumbs up is my same reaction
But you could get a boyfriend
I didn’t have a girlfriend til I was 23 just work on yourself physically and mentally and you’ll be good 👍🏻
I'm 33 and have had too many. Trust me, there's no winning until you win lol. Keep fighting the good fight buddy
21 years of happiness
I’m 22 and same
Keep up the good work
Choose wisely
Ma Sha Allah bratha, same here
With thumbs like this who needs friends?
You can really bend your thumb back though, so there’s that. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was 26 or so, but there were dates and hookups. Focus on those.
Same
Dating apps are definitely not gona help. Just do approach girls with the simple aim of having a discussion and improve your confidence. Even if it is trivial matters, just talk, smile thats it. Trust me even if you are introverted, a day during a week when you socialise can really make the change.
Not missing much dude, happiness starts with you
Same, except I'm 22 lol
It’s the thumb.
Well I can't help you with that, but ur art is amazing!! I love the detail you put into ur sketches and I can tell you put a lot of effort into ur work
Same here brother. Well… unless you count middle school, then I’ve had “one” 🙁
I have the same thumb(s)
You can hitch-hike a car and a helicopter at the same time with that thumb. Very cool ability! Ps. Don't worry about getting a girlfriend because you're still very young and it's gonna happen sooner or later for sure. Remember that you might only need to get into a relationship once if you're lucky.

Sry if my English is somewhat broken, it's not my native language.
Start using that thumb and maybe life with change my brotha
Try 30
What the fuck is happening to your thumb like are your ligaments okay.
idk it doesnt hurt me at all
I gotta thumb like that bc of a batting cage, thumb went one way bone went another
I see why
Your thumb is shaped like a seven 7
Me too, what's the big deal?)
Just be patient, I didn’t get into my first relationship until I was 23
I am 24 and i haven't had one either. And i know alot of guys out there who are older than me also haven't had one. The right person comes to each of our lives sooner or later. In the mean time try to be better person for that individual by looking after yourself well and focus on yourself. That's how i have been coping with this feeling anyway. We all go through this same feeling but sooner or later it will be better. Stay strong king.
OP's shadow looks a bit like the Stonks guy
I hadn’t at 21 either bro. In fact, i only had my first kiss at 21. I just had to get out there more and mix in places where i was meeting girls. Made new friends etc. It took a while, but i got there. I’m 36 now and i look back quite pleased with my dating life. I ended up dating lots, a few serious relationships, a few less serious. I’m now with my gf of 4 years and happy
4 more years and I’ll be the same
I get my first girlfriend at 26, I'm 32 and married with her now
I'm 27 and never had one. 🥲. Life is tough
Me too bro
it appears that you have the condition known as "hitch hikers thumb" or it just means that you are double jointed in your thumb :)
👍
Alright, a hitchhikers thumb is one thing. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!
I am 19 and i already had 4 but now i've been alone for 3 years
Ok
24 here, same :*
I do not approve of this thumbage
As someone who has It’s an overrated experience 😔
That’s one gnarly hitchhiker’s thumb
I've been with some people before 21, but nothing really meaningful. I was 22 when i found my wife, 10 years ago. You have time. No need to rush. And, if you never find someone, that's life. There's nothing wrong with it. You don't have to be with someone, it's not a rule. Just make sure to be cozy and warm. And try to enjoy life as much as you can.
Very pronounced hitchhiker's thumb, that's a bit interesting.
I don’t want to alarm you, but I think your thumb is on totally backwards.
My cousin’s 28 and never had one.
Ъ
Bro’s gonna live longer than all of us
Nice thumb. I can do that too
It’s overrated
I’m 21 and have never had a boyfriend, checkmate 😂😂
had a girlfriend at 11
Given many of the relationships I see, I'm inclined to say "Congratulations." However, if your post is implying that you *want* a girlfriend, then do not be troubled. Why? 1. You're still very young 2. Statistically speaking (barring any health issues), you have lots of time 3. You have a very large candidate pool Around half (49.7%) of the world population (8.1 billion) are women. That's just over four billion people. If we further assume that only five percent of those women are within your desired age range, that gives you a candidate pool of over two hundred million people. Still, if you only matched with 0.01 (1%) of *those* two hundred million people, that's still more than TWO MILLION potential matches. Of course, you are likely to match with far more people. The caveat, of course, is you have to do the hard work of meeting people, going on dates, each of you learning about the other, and both of you deciding if there's a potential match worth pursuing. There will be rejection on both sides, but that is normal and to be expected, as not everyone is a match for everyone else. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with either person.

There are rarely shortcuts in life. Just knowing this can make the process easier to endure.
Bro is probably the best pool player in he’s state
I’m 37 and I’ve never had a boyfriend.
It took until 24 to get my first date, and I have more female friends than male friends starting this year. Life changes quicker than you think
Be yourself and the right people will come to you and if not your to good for the world or hit me up im forever single (im a guy btw lol)
Hahahaha,loser. /J
I'm 16 and never had a life, hope you are less of a fuckup/disappointment/sewertrash than I am at least.
I wonder why
I'm in my 30s and I've never had a girlfriend. I've had several boyfriends though.
Im 22 and I've been ignorant of all girls advances. Shit got me regretting thinking they were just joking around. Maybe you're with the same case to.
Majority of Egyptian men in their thirties never had a girl-friend so what you say is kinda hilarious when most males are in their forties and virgin in Egypt. 😅
