I feel like past a certain age everyone doesn't like growing older. For me I have that same feeling plus the added pressure that every year I go from being an X year old virgin to an X+1 one year old virgin. I'm about to finish collage and go into the work field which given my internship I can already tell I won't have much of a chance at meeting new people even less girls.

Everytime I find someone and start getting along with them really well. I think to my self this will finally be the year which I stop being a virgin. But it just has not worked out. Of course I dont go into a relationship with the sole goal of losing my V-card but it is something that crosses my mind.

I am 24 year old and I am still a virgin.

Grandparent by 45?

What the fuck place is that, Siberia or Alabama?

Rural Midwest America is wild. It is depressing how many people think it's normal to start a family at 17/18, never leave their hometown (of less than 5000), and never try to add to their knowledge of the world. (17 is being generous btw)

Don't get me wrong. There are some lovely people from the country. There's also a lot of willful ignorance

Have an grumpy upvote, because I'm not happy with that response.

Normal to start a family at 17? People have no sense of perspective. I didn't have a kid until I was 30, and here in the UK I know plenty of guys who didn't become fathers until their late 30's.

I can't imagine how hard it would be going through my 20's with kids. It sounds awful.

Small town America man. I 100% agree with you BTW. When my oldest brother was born my parents had been married two years, and were 20 years old. TWENTY. Fortunately my siblings and I were taught to think before committing. We all married, at the earliest, in our mid-twenties. No one had kids until late twenties/early thirties. My wife and I are child free for medical reasons, but that let's us be the aunt/uncle that can help out without being completely brain-drained from parenting 24/7
