As a virgin coming up for, what will later this year, be my thirtieth birthday, I can’t say I’m unattractive (not a model, no, but hey) and my barrier is not the objective of having sex. Obviously, I wouldn’t necessarily turn it down, provided I’m attracted to the other person, but a lot of advice tends to centre around either baltently lying or deliberately forgetting about sex.
Well, I do forget about sex. I just want a romantic relationship, damn it. 
Unfortunately, there’s just no help I’ve found, out there, for how to get over the old cliche of your mind literally going blank, when approaching the opposite sex.
Which brings me to the main point of this: The film mentioned really pissed me off… Why? Because I was vaguely hoping that it WOULD deal with such a situation. There IS comedy value in it, if it’s approached right, but the films’ problem stemmed from it showing that the guy had NO problem with being sociable with women. The character’s only problem was in not having had sex. It demosntrated he’s had plenty of opportunities to have almost got into bed with girls.
But there are people, such as myself and others here, who are normal, average guys, with bright personalities and such. We just don’t have confidence, when it comes to female strangers. Friends? Sure! Lots of female friends! Most of them lesbian, for some bizarre reason, but once you get into mid-to-late-twenties, everyone THEY know (providing they’re even in the same local area as you) are in relationships and so they can’t really get you in touch with anyone.
The bottom line is, if you’re not confident and aren’t willing to lie about your job or whatever, then you’re in a niche which society and ‘the experts’ have yet to cater for. Some of us don’t purely want sex. Some of us haven’t even kissed a girl. Some of us even know a heck of a lot of theory, but just don’t have the confidence to put this into practice.
And confidence is the key. Just look at people like Jack Nicholson. Not a classic ‘looker’, right? But oozing with confidence. That’s his sex appeal.
