why is it called forbidden fruit? never figured that one out
 
You need some confidence stat! Seriously. You cannot dwell on the things you brought up for the rest of your life. Like some of the others said, go out there and set your sights lower....down some more.....ok there ya go. Maybe shes a little round and not the hottest you have seen but you have to start somewhere. "teh goggles they may do a little"

I also recommend going out to the bars for a FEW drinks. That will help break down your wall a little. Take a friend out with you and don't get totally fvcked up or you will NOT get to talk to any girls because they will shoot you down like pigeons in a batting cage.
 
So, it seems girls are not your thing, do guys excite you?
I mean if you are truly comfortable around guys, you just might need to find total happiness with them, at least you will have a life.

StormRider is probably laughing at all of you guys for thinking he really is 41 and that this thread is for real. There was a thread where I swore he slipped and revealed his true age, and it sure the hell wasn't 40+.

I think it was a "perfect storm" that held me back.

I am naturally very shy (I thought my shyness developed during my teen years but I found a kindergarden report card where the teacher said I was well liked by the other kids but that I seemed afraid to interact with them).

I felt invisible to girls almost all my life. When I was younger, relatives would always tease my younger brothers whether they had a girlfriend or not. They never teased me about that -- except one time my favorite aunt said, "Hey, how come no one asks StormRider if he has a girlfriend?" But that only made me feel more uncomfortable. I remember lying in bed sometimes and wonder if there was something wrong with me -- was I some ugly monster or something? Was it unthinkable for me to have a girlfriend?

I know a lot of people will laugh this off -- but the media during my youth also made it seem like asian men were not desirable to women.

My parents also made it clear that they would disappove of having a non-Chinese girlfriend. Which is equivalent to saying there is no one for me because there pretty much was no Chinese girls during my school years.

So I got multiple messages from:

1) Girls (I'm invisible)
2) Family (You cannot have a girlfriend)
2) Media (Asian men are the least desirable of all men)

Plus, family responsibilitys (having to help out at family restaurant didn't do a lot for my self-esteem).

And finally, that little small problem I have joked about. Ever since I saw my little brothers naked and noticed that they were bigger than me -- even though I was almost a foot taller than them -- I have been obssessed with it. I used to hope that maybe it was all in my mind -- that it wasn't really as small as I feared it was. But everytime I researched it, I have come to the conclusion that it really is as small as I fear it is. Most women would probably have a problem with it. It's at the low end of the bell curve.

All these things was like a layer of defense that I've never been able to break through. They all came together like the perfect storm.

Saddest story I've ever heard :cookie:

I'm Chinese so I know how you feel with the family wanting you to have a Chinese gf and media making us look bad. Thankfully, I have just a bit more confidence than you to actually talk to girls (it's more of if I start talking then I have no other choice to keep talking, I can't back out).
 
You should have asked the Subway Girl is she likes a 6" inch or FOOTLONG! Than smiled... 😀

Follow up by telling her she should try the meatballs! 😛
