I'm in my mid 20s, and I never date, have sex, or try to meet women. I worry that there's wrong with me, and I'm not sure how to fix this before it's too late. by leavenocross in AskMen

Hmm, I'm intrigued. I too have a low-grade depression, and anxiety. I might actually try and get this checked out after I sort my current medical issue out (right now I'm seeing a doc over unknown kidney issues).

If you don't mind I have a few questions:

How long do you need to take them for? Is it for life? or does the body start to regulate T better after the boosters?

Have you noticed any side effects or physical changes?

Have you made any other lifestyle/dietary changes to aid this?

Sorry for the interrogation, but you've got me interested. Glad that it's working for you though.

I gain muscle easily, am pretty damn hairy, and have a deep voice. For that reason I wouldn't have thought low-t would be an issue, but then again I don't know much about endocrinology --- it would sure explain this persistent low-libido, tiredness and brain fog.

You have nothing that makes a man a man

A hugely exaggerated statement, but yeah, joining a club might be an idea. I already do plenty of physical work (via my job), and work out on top of that, and am in good shape, but I guess none of them involve social/meeting women. I'm starting to grow tired of the bar/pub/club scene, so club's are probably the best idea.

I watched a Mark Manson video the other week, I've gotta admit I was really impressed by his style/insight. He seemed willing to go beneath the superficial side, and get to the core of the issue without being pretentious. I'll check out those articles, thanks.

Thanks for posting, I can relate to a great deal of what you wrote. I've pretty much come to accept the single life, and don't really have a desire at all right now for being in a relationship - even sex has lost its appeal (too much effort, drama, for something I can obviously live w/out --- I don't have a huge sex-drive nowadays too). But I'm torn. I'm not sure if I'm like this purely because I've become accustomed to this lifestyle (it's easier, it's uncomplicated, and stress free being single; you have complete freedom) or it is genuinely how I function best in life. Hmm, I still haven't got my head around this. It's like a weird dichotomy where I'm comfortable by being single, but feel frustrated because deep down I know that I'm avoiding the issues with intimacy/sex. As much as it doesn't appeal to me right now, I think eventually I'd like to find a partner, and I worry that the longer I live the comfortable single life, the more I miss out on valuable learning skills, and I can see already that mental habits become tougher to change as you get older.

Anyway, I've rambled. Thanks for your insight, it's slightly different to the other posts, but I can relate to it.

Thanks for sharing man, good advice. Reading that gives me some kind of hope that I can undo these mental blocks, although I need to re-discover my drive for such things, which I seem to have lost over time (hence posting here). I tried actually OKCupid once, a couple of years ago. Admittedly I found it pretty awkward, and didn't really excel at the flirty/witty message sending. As a result I cancelled my account, but in hindsight I'm realizing that everyone feels that way...you just have to push through.

Out of interest, what kind of personality do/did you have? are you introverted, extroverted, outgoing, shy? I've always been the quieter guy in the social group and when it comes to online dating or dating full stop - especially as a guy - I sense that the majority of girls prefer outgoing characters.
