I am the 19-year-old virgin. I've never even held hands. Not until fairly recently did it begin to dawn on me that most people my age aren't virgins any longer. Why even really unattractive people can get some action is a mystery to me.
There's no mystery to it. It's just that being the cool guy people like is FAR more important in attracting women than looks are. It seems looks only help as kind of a tiebreaker when you already have all the social aspects in place. I've always described myself as looking good on paper, as I look decent, have a good job, well educated, and have many interests. However, personal interface is not made through online profiles & people get a much different impression of me in real life being a fish out of water socially.
Unfortuantely, my social issues will be a lifelong problem to some degree. However, I have had success with women by just being forward. From much expereince, having the guts to make your move without fear or hesitation goes a long way.
