Why am I not attracted to anyone?

I used to be attracted to a lot of girls, and I still do find them sexually appealing (at least the hot ones). But I find myself more annoyed than interested in any ladies I meet. They're such a hassle to have a serious relationship with (judging from observation), and take a lot of energy/time. I'm not enough of a jerk to want to just use a woman for sex, so I find myself not even able to develop friendships with women because they ALWAYS get the wrong idea. I'm not unhappy with my celibate life status, but I am actually worried that I am missing out.

Update:

A-sexual hmmm... I haven't **** out any mini versions of myself yet...

    Wow. Many people end up figuring out what you have realized before your time only after much wasted time, effort, and trial and error. Good for you! I bet many people would wish they had your wisdom and insight back when they were young. I certainly wish I did.

    However, don't think of everything as black and white. Dating is anything BUT black and white and so is your future. It's true that relationships MAY be a hassle, but this largely depends on the quality of females that you are dating. Keep in mind that your younger years ARE NOT ideal for relationships. Your younger years only SEEM ideal because all the girls are very attractive at that age and the media sure LOVES to make it seem that way (have you listened to mainstream music lately, seen the Disney Channel, or any other source of media aimed at the teenage audience?), but in reality your priorities should be better invested into more long-term yielding things like school, work, self discovery and improvement, heck even take advantage of that time to work on your biceps! (your body will be much harder to improve once you get older).

    As for the media, please don't be fooled! They love to hook up young people together to drive them to spend their MONEY. Yes, that is what powerful people are after! They find a very profitable demographic in young, strong, people (namely young adults), who can work, easily find minimum wage jobs, can fill their future with debts, and are prone to make more riskier choices. Take a look around you! Chances are that you will see a lot of youth being constantly bombarded by a lot of advertisements, music, and messages telling them to rush themselves into relationships and live the lifestyle that THEY tell you to live! It's quite the sad thing really, but it's true.

    For somehow managing to avoid the constant barrage of propaganda thrown by powerful people (you may even go as far to include the Illuminati in this bunch), I applaud you. Many others are playing right into wasting their youth and ending up with nothing but debts and emotional baggage, an unfinished education, and unfortunately, even a baby or two. Your celibate life status IS the ideal thing to do until one has finished early adulthood. Again I say this not because I am your age, but because I have live PAST this point and have saved myself before it was too late, but have seen many of my friends fall to ruin that is now too late to change. The truth is that we ALL have regrets like these, but you sir, are minimizing everything to a manageable level. AND NO, you are definitely not missing out on much, if you are greatly worried about that (more on THAT in the next section)

    ~~~~~~Now for the flip side :)~~~~~~~

    Keep your lifestyle healthy and always look to improve. There is no logical rule against this advice, and anyone who tells you otherwise is simply incorrect. With this said, you should certainly strive to achieve (and maintain) a healthy balance in your choices. I am specifically addressing your choice of celibacy, but I'm sure you know what to do in regards to that. Don't by any means close your mind to marriage; it wouldn't be fair for the well-meaning, grounded women who have worked hard and are looking for a good person who has not pretty much thrown their life away. If you preserve yourself, your stock value will inevitably increase in the dating market. It may seem crazy to some people (maybe you), but try to adopt the idea of dating girls in their mid 20's when you are in your 30's. Let me remind you that women are about 7 years more mature than males, even during puberty, so this is the perfect equalizer that gives good men a great power in choosing. Never forget this. So even if you're thinking that you may never find a good chance with a hot young lady, keep in mind that in a few years they should be flocking to YOU and that the timing will be MUCH more appropriate since many more things will be in order in your life like your education, future, and finances to name a few. So yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with strategically putting of dating for a while until you decide to come back when things get much better (More on this on the podcast provided on the source below).

    On a different note, I DO advice you to build a lot of platonic friendships with as many people you can from the opposite gender. There is much wisdom in this advice that I do not have room to explain since I have rambled on and am nearing the character limit for this post, but you can just think of it as keeping your social skills fresh as well as making yourself more desirable and irresistible to the type of girl you want to attract later on when the time comes. Feel free to ask me more via email if you wish. I will certainly be glad to hear what you think about my comments!

    Good luck with everything, and I have no doubt that you will be alright.

    It's normal. I'm in a serious relationship now, but if we split up I wouldn't really go looking, either - at least not for a while. It seems like people are getting dumber and more obnoxious and more promiscuous everyday. Half of those people are women. Some of them look good, but I just can't be attracted to someone who can't think, someone who's probably had more sex partners than she can count on her fingers and toes.
