OP: Why not look into acquiring a motorcycle or motorbike to eliminate one of the barriers between you and the women you find interesting? Some of your neighbors may have female friends or relatives who might indeed enjoy meeting you. Look for doors and windows in your life, rather than just the walls. Or you might only truly find comfort within the walls. We're all very different, but can assume responsibility for our life choices.

How can you compare divorced with kids to someone who has
never been married, has no kids and has never been in a relationship?
huh?
Well perhaps some women can be "picky creatures"...but men...you
sometimes have to wonder at their thought process...or lack of it.


Would you like baggage, or no baggage? The OP with no baggage is having trouble finding dates, and is considered 'odd' for not dating or having relationships; most men who have kids (baggage) and an ex-wife (considered more baggage) are not at the top of the list, either.

Personally don't consider my kids baggage and have an amicable relationship with my ex.

Women are picky? You betcha! And some clearly lack a sense of humor as well!


And I'm picky as heck -- I'd rather be single than with the wrong person; I know of what I speak.

I don't lack a sense of humor...I guess I just don't get yours.
I didn't know being picky was the topic of this thread?
I thought it was "does inexperience likely to put you off a man"
Baggage?
Do you have your threads mixed up?

OP, do you mean "life experience" or "life skills". In either case, I could not imagine how a man would get to be my age and have little or none of either. What I DO find is that most men I have met who have been married for years and years have absolutely no clues about how to treat a woman or behave in bed. What did they do all these years? Wham-bam, excuse me ma'am? Those things are off-putting for sure. I have a friend in Australia who has had a similar experience. She calls them "fumblers". Never-married doesn't equate to no life experience or life skills.

I think the problem you may have is not the inexperience, never-been married thing.

You seem a bit like milk toast. Boring and not sexually arrousing. And this is how you see yourself, don't deny it, it is obvious.

You need to change this view by taking on new challenges, hobbies, risks, whatever...

women will be attracted to this new self image.

You sound like a man who might be snatched up quickly by me or my never been married teacher friends...Every try looking for a teacher to date? As usual, the men of interest often seem to live on another continent.

You might as well have the plague if you have never had a serious relationship by then
as far as I am concerned.

I would doubt your emotional availability.

Astrophil, just tell all your females friends this. They'll be fighting over the chance to get you hook-up with someone. Women are all about relationships, and love the intricacies of that stuff. Let them work their magic on you. All you have to do is make yourself look presentable. Dump the geek clothes and get your hair cut.
