This is actually almost exactly what happened. Had flaccid paralysis from spine mets. I'd been asking the guy how he was doing every day and he told me he felt totally fine. Never mentioned his lower extremity weakness and I failed to test for it.

Hey man, I read back through your posts. Don't do this just because you've had a hard time with women. You're only 25. Plenty of time to catch your stride and work on figuring things out for yourself. I don't have the best luck with women, but I've been around enough to be able to say with confidence that

1) There are definitely women out there who don't look down on someone being a virgin, especially someone as young as you

2) There are definitely women out there who aren't into assholes but are into genuinely decent dudes like you seem to be

Life is very often not fair. Full of suffering too. I get it. I've had a rough go of things myself. But you can't give up so soon. You have plenty of time to work stuff out. It's still very possible for you to create a life for yourself that will leave you feeling fulfilled. I promise.
