      37 and have never had it, yet I am functioning well enough, reading this post makes me wonder if I should be celebrated for not going on a rampage…

          I am working on adding a few + to my strength and stamina and get in slightly better shape in general, I recently started working toward swimming 1km five times a week, so far I go every say I can, and am slowly building my endurance.

          Last year I got myself a new camera, a Lumix S5, with a few lenses and have taken some great shots with it.

          Oh, and in december 2022, I got my driving license, and last summer I bought my first car, at 36 I had the money to get a nicer car, and got a lightly used 2021 Seat Leon PHEV.

          Two days ago, I drove into a ditch at slow speed, and got towed out by a kind farmer, no dammage to me or the car, and I learbed how to tow my car if it would needed in the future.

          So I have leveled up both ny skills and possesions.

        Question if you don’t mind, did you just never have the opportunity or you don’t want to, religion or something?

        Also have you ever considered a sex worker just to get it over with?

          I don’t mind answering, perhaps it can help someone else in a similar situation before they get into the same situation as me.

          I matured late, combine that with having trouble with interpreting other people’s emotions I wasn’t interested until I was in my mid twenties.

          At that time I worked 12h alternating day/night shifts on an irregular schedule, and was depressed.

          After working that job for four and a half years, I got a new job with normal office hours and a much better location, but by then I had become overweight, balding and was feeling lost in regards to persuing a relationship.

          Now, seven years later I am 37, and while I may be great working with users and helping them with the office IT systems, I am still overweight and very unsure of myself with regards to relationships, especially sex, I have zero experience on that subject, and I do wonder if I would be able to find a woman who would have the patience with me learning in that department.

          I am not angry, I don’t blame anyone for this situation, and I can deal with the lonelyness, I don’t lead a bad life, I try to work on myself, I am working myself up to swimming 1km five times a week get in better shape, I have hobbies, I enjoy photography (nature, planespotting, transportation and general infrastructure)

          I would like to meet someone, but I am able to deal with being alone.
