Don't get distracted by lack of experience (I will not promote) — You know the biggest myth people buy into? That you need experience to succeed. It’s a trap - a story we tell ourselves to stay comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, experience is nice, but it’s not the…
Should I meet up with my ex? — Back in November 2024, I went on a couple of dates with a guy from my friend group, “Frank” (41M now). Looking back, it’s obvious to me that he was a rebound, but I genuinely didn’t realize it at the …
Why do I [20F] feel more passion in dreams than during intimacy with my boyfriend [21M]? — I (20F) and my boyfriend (21M) are having some sexual problems in our relationship. For some context, he has slept with 8 women in total, and I with 2 (him and my ex). I believe we have a very differe…
Dating in your 40s with little experience is harder than people admit — This is a bit of a rant based on patterns I keep seeing here. I’m a pretty shy person, especially in social situations and around women. At work, I’m fine (I deal with people all the time) but that’s…

I would say with teens or young adults, it's possible that someone is very into you and just unable to make it move forward due to lack of experience and shyness. Beyond that, I wouldn't bother with …

I’m so annoyed with myself. I grew up under purity culture, and I ’ve always prioritized work over my love life. Now I’m an almost 40 year old virgin who would very much like not to be. But there are …
Haven't been in the game at all in 6 years and had some friends try to set me up with someone. Was told on here to stop with the texting early on and get her to meet in person or move on. Damn, you g…
Nope. Maybe it's due to lack of experience on my part, but I don't find myself drawn to any specific physical characteristics. As for personality, as long as they seem like they are at least a decent …
No not really taking energy out of me. It’s more just anxiety inducing. And no my social anxiety hasn’t really dulled overall. But more so in the last year or so but that’s also because I got less dep…
Anyone that thinks lack of dating experience makes you undatable at this point isn't worth your time. They are single just as you and what has all that experience got them? You quite often see peopl…
I agree with your assessment. What bugs me is I’ve constantly been rejected in my 20’s because i was too boring. Then i had 5 women recontact me out of nowhere all within 6 weeks of each other. They m…
That is just one example. I have been told consistently by many women and men that my lack of experience is a red flag. It’s like someone applying for jobs who has never had a job.
It's a lot more common to be insecure, to have past trauma, to lack experience, to be shy, or to have internalized some of the huge amounts of shame that exists around sexuality in many parts of our c…
My problem is that i had an unusual attachment to one of my ex-professor. I just needed her support but was afraid she would think i had a crush on her while i see her as a mother figure. We both were…
Since you are in Mumbai, it’s understandable how onerous the dating expectations are for you from such a misogynistic culture and why the men you date have these demands without even vetting the proce…
And feel everything 1000% and make tons of mistakes for sure. Hopefully he learns from this quickly, and hopefully it’s just lack of experience and not control issues.
Hmm isn't innocence associated with a lack of experience?
A difference? Not really seems to be more of a “how their brain chemistry reacts” I have noticed tho that many people say that LSD is a much more stable experience which I can agree with it seems li…
You don't lose the bar; you gain experience and confidence with either a yes or a no. You will remain in your current 'lack of experience' unless you shift by making active decisions. Remember everyon…
Had the long conversation the other day that I'll have to stop dating my friend turned almost-girlfriend. We had been dating for about a month. I feel really terrible about it, honestly. I could tell…
Oh so many things; we can't leave things in the past, our minds won't let us, and even when they compensate with coping mechanisms, our bodies won't let us either. We're not choosing to be the way we …
You are dateable! Sounds like the lack of experience might be making you feel overwhelmed. Baby steps, baby steps.
Jesus wept. Your lack of experience and knowledge is blinding. This is why newbies get frightened about embarking on any altered state. From jokesters like you throwing out bollocks like this. I'll …
Alright, there's a couple of things at play here. Sure, there are people out there who villainize traumatized people. Usually people with complex trauma have what "normal" people consider disproport…

The mess here isn’t entirely on her… So it’s not just about whether she can change…but can you? Why break up if all you do is stay close to her, monitoring her „progress“ or lack thereof, only to ge…
Ugh it’s so upsetting not being understood over something basic. I thinks it’s mostly their lack of experience of the situations that we’re in that just makes them act and react so selfishly.
Funny you say that, that's what I’m planning now. It seems our healing progress was very similar, I’ve realized a lot of my lack of experience came from lack of strong core But after realizing about …
The fact that he's only been with one other woman besides you leads me to believe he's sexually immature and now maybe embarrassed about the whole thing. In that he lacks confidence it seems he's like…
It could be as simple as a bad fit for you and them. It could be a lack of experience on their part. It could be them not willing or capable of getting in depth and trying to go to the root of your is…

Hi man! Thank you for a detailed answer. My practice consists basically of 3 different exercises (I haven't decided which one is best for me yet). - focusing on temperature of breath and the place whe…
Large age gaps can be dangerous when you are younger due to a lack of experience even if you are more mentally mature. It can be easier for an older person to hide their true nature if you don't yet h…

Yes, it's a disadvantage. Now what do you want? You're still the same you. You still have to go out on dates if you want to be in a relationship. There's also only so much people can learn from a po…
Shyness and lack of experience can translate to insecurity. IMO, women are looking for safety in a partner overall. I know it's hard, but you will have to push yourself to be open. I'm guessing from …
Dating is dating. It remains the same today as it was in our 20s because of who we are and a lot of us don’t change. What we want now is pretty much the same today- looks and personality. Standards ar…
Saying hi, making a comment about the weather, or how expensive things are in a store is just a normal human interaction, it does not make you *that* guy. Those are safe, nonchalant, and potentially …
Your optimism is beyond common sense though… Maybe it’s your feelings messing with your head, but learning to read intent is healthy and beneficial for you in the long run. Maybe it’s lack of exper…
He was a fool to talk like this in his house, instead of at curry night or the golfing weekends like every other bloke. Every man speaks like this, but it’s locker room chat not meant for your girl’…
You’re shooting yourself in the foot with your attitude. Sounds like you’re giving up because you’re embarrassed about your lack of experience. Just because someone has had good sex before doesn’t mea…
While that is true also, I’ve had sex with women who were very interested but had little experience and it’s definitely not as good as someone with experience and interest. But lack of experience isn’…
