| At all levels - from the top to the bottom - reputation is of great importance. Reputation as a success leads to more success. Reputation as a successful lover gets more lovers - just ask any man who has gone to a bar w/a wedding band on his finger. There are single men who put one on just because ... |

| Do I get upset? Yes. Do I allow myself to suffer? No. And I have no earthly idea how I would feel at fifty. Ask people who are 50. I know how I felt when I was 19 and still a virgin - I wondered what was wrong w/me. I feared that nobody would ever want me. And I do not think I was unusual. Look - i... |

| Once again, naming the 1% as proof that the human race is like how you suggest is absurd and outlandish. The few do not represent the whole. Though in your line of thought, they do. What percentage do you need? How about India? - a sixth of the world's population, at least. There status and wealth ... |

| Sex is about far more than reproduction - or even physical gratification. It is tied into the one thing that the human animal truly treasures: power. Um... No. I don't give a flying f**k about power, and I fail to see how sex has anything to do with power unless you're trying to rape somebody. It's... |

| Simple fact is - most human males want to seem as sexually successful as possible because being sexually successful aids a male in getting jobs, getting promotions, getting access to money and power - and, perhaps best of all, getting the pick of partners for his bed. Oh, please do explain this and... |

For passive straight man like me, what the best thing I can do to get women to notice me. I thought about hangi... |

| I just find it so sad to see men placing an undue amount of importance on losing their virginity. Usually people do place "undue" importance on this or that. Delete the adjective "undue," and you are on your way to a solution. We cannot decide what is important to others - no matter how stupid they... |

| I'm curious about something. I'm recently confirmed as having mild Asperger's at the age of 58, so I'm on the older side of the "age specturm" here. In the mix with my lifelong autistic traits, gayness and interpersonal difficulties was a particularly nasty and tenacious vein of self-hatred, which ... |

If you are familiar w/those names, then you know w/o being told that my interests are about 100 years out of date for being "all the rage." That does not matter.

| 29 vs 48 - you got here sooner than I did! So, don't complain! :wink: I joined after you, so perhaps I cannot say "Welcome!" - "Hello!" would be more appropriate - so, "Hello" and "Good luck!" I didn't get my AS dianosis until I was 46 - and then only because a social work intern was astute enough t... |

| I am sure that I am not the only one here who can say "I have lost so much of my life to mental illness." No - Asperger's Syndrome is not a mental illness. But it is a difference, and, w/difference, comes difficulty . Prolonged difficulty can lead to mental illness. In my case, the mental illness ha... |
