You seem to be saying that women, when they were young, dated young guys. but that YOU weren't one of those guys and were told not to date those young girls. I think you've mixed something up in that.
Don't call others despicable because of your lack of experience. Random chance and your own decisions are what dictates your lack of experience - not anyone else.
I've only had a handful of relationships. Most quite short. Two long distance. Only one was when I was 18, none before that. When I was 20, yes, I felt inadequate. But at the same time, I wouldn't blame anyone even if I did have my negative perceptions (namely that I believed I was hideous, annoying, and pathetic) - I knew those were my perceptions, and that the reason why I wasn't in a relationship had more to do with random chance and my own inhibitions.
Again - you're the only person stopping yourself from having a relationship.
You are not a mind-control device, and you're not a telepath. You can't tell what everyone is thinking about you, even if they were to turn you down.

Good post. I blame much of my relationship issue on my family dynamics ( attracted to unhealthy men just like my family of origin) but I don't blame society at large. I only now started to look into these issues but I do wish I looked into it when I was Young!
I was laughing a bit about these women enjoying young attractive guys. I didn't understand what's immoral about it and who are these women who telling you are referring to. That's not their fault you are not dating.
I personally was married at 20, so didn't spend my young years enjoying much, lol life was tough, both in college and working and a kid etc
