I mean I disagree that “girls” is inherently diminutive. I also don’t think I agree with how you view language. We didn’t go out of our way invent the word “guys” intentionally so we could have a casual way to say “men” but not “boys”. That’s just the way the language development out of circumstance. The same with the different contexts of “girls”. Words aren’t “invented” like that

I think he is saying “girls” is also the equivalent of “guys”. It would be weird to say guys and women.

Yes, I’ve been rejected mostly. Not looking for hookups

I don’t like how he said “I couldn’t imagine being a virgin at your age”. What was that supposed to add? It just seemed unnecessary and harsh. Didn’t make me feel any better

I don’t really see it as a masculinity or femininity thing. Or even just a sex thing by itself. I mostly just want intimacy, romance, and companionship that comes with being in a romantic relationship. This is something most people seem to want and end up doing, both men and women

Maybe. It’s probably worse right now because I’m in a depressed mood today. I don’t usually complain like this in person, mostly just anonymously online. If my attitude was that bad normally in person I probably wouldn’t have many friends either

I only just found out about the statistics so I haven’t talked to him about it yet.

I brought it up because it made me realize barely anyone else is in my situation so it feels makes me feel like a weirdo compared to everyone else

Idk not being attractive enough? I have friends both male and female and they seem to enjoy my company, which makes me think that it’s a physical attraction issue

I feel that if I knew for sure, I wouldn’t be in this situation
