If you're 27 and never had a girlfriend, is it too late?

seriously, wish i could punch a random guys lights out for telling me to "Man Up, Be a Man, Grow a Pair"

I've been told that before & think that's total sexist horsesh!t.

I never had my 1st girlfriend till I was 20 & it was a mostly online thing. I didn't have my next one till I was 28 & that also was a mostly online thing. I didn't have my next one till I was 29 & we moved in together around my 30th birthday. I met my 2nd & current girlfriend here on this forum.

you're one of the lucky very very few.

at 30 its all over. so you just barely slipped in. you might get to enjoy a year or so of youthful relationship

are you too old to be this inexperienced? I turned 27 at the beginning of this year in January, and i'm still single, never had a girlfriend, seriously, although the pain of not having had a girlfriend yet has been painful and frustrating for me for a while, I feel it started hitting the crisis point in my mind, self-esteem wise once I reached 25.

I've had self-esteem, self-confidence issues for a very long time now, never really had a large number of friends or large social circle, I feel that has hurt me a lot with getting a girlfriend since it seems most people meet their future boyfriend/girlfriend through their social circle/mutual friends, etc. I've never had any luck with online dating either.

I will admit, there are times I sometimes feel bitter and resentful towards women, although I do my best to keep it to myself, I never at all mean any harm towards them, when I say bitter and resentful, I mean I am sort of jealous, envious of women because women don't have to be the initiators, as in the onus is not placed on women to do the approaching and asking out, making the first move, etc.

Even though i'm a straight, heterosexual male, I have often said this to myself in my mind for a while now, I have said that I bet if I was born a girl, I very likely would have had a boyfriend a long time ago.

I doubt many of you people in this forum can think of many people my age and older who have never been in a relationship with the opposite sex before, never had a boyfriend/girlfriend. I feel like my youth will be over once I hit my 30's, will be past my prime.

What does that even mean? I'm 34 and don't see much difference between my relationships now and ones ten years ago. Are you over 30? Are you multiple people over 30? If not, how do you know what it's really like, and that it's the same for everyone?

And they might enjoy enjoy their relationship for years after they turn 30.

I intend to enjoy being in a relationship even after I turn 50. Especially if it happens to be with a 20 year old.

You're darn right, Sir!

Never give up!

You never know what's on the other side of the mountain.

I don't know, often it seems like it's all just wishful thinking. I mean, what rational proof that something will happen, do we have?

As Russians say "hope is a mother of fools".

most relationships I've seen or heard of when 30 and up are all about settling down,getting a house, having a kids. I want the 16-25 youthful relationship. tons of sex, spontatnous, adventures, being playful, being romantic, etc.

not the spending all your money on your kids and a house, having to deal with all your kids troubles, no sex due to kids always around, can't be spontanous, you ahve a kid and house you have to be responsible 24/7, etc.

its two different relationships most people get both, some with the same person as it changes to the latter. I've never had the first I not ready nor want to have the latter yet. but its unlikely I'll ever get to have it. women only have until like 40s to have kids so if they want 2-4 properly spaced out then they got to start in their 30s. so they aren't going want to spend 30s to 40s just having youthful fun, most already had bunch of that in there 15-29 years.
