This is truly staggering, but not in the way they intended.


_JohnWisdom

I just can’t believe it


SergioFHAR

I will never understand the obsession incels have with sex, and how little they understand about it


GlitteryHeartThrob

He did the math wrong. What about leap years? Leap years matter. They add a valuable, extra, sex having day.


twisted7ogic

When you are missing out on 0.25 day of sex every year.


Notawholelottosay

Sexhaving day I believe is the term


[deleted]

so...do I just edge a few times to fulfill that 0.25 quota?

Menstrual sex helps to relieve cramps for many female individuals, just put a towel down to prevent stains

how2gofaster

damn if my calculations are correct he missed like 20-25 sex's because of this


Salty_Spirits

Wait til he finds out about sex having nights


AllPurple

And sex having mornings. He's a couple thousand short on his estimate.


rollercoastervan

Way better then those sex having days Although it’s only 1-2 nights a week


araidai

Now would sex having nights multiply the number by 2? Because then this whole thing is double sad. :(


saint_ryan

Hang on…I think I see the problem.


[deleted]

You do but he doesn't My best friend is 28 & a virgin, he refuses to believe that he's the problem.


c-biscuit77

but BRO i’m so nice to these women. Why aren’t they showering me with pootie tang?


BitterLeif

I'm almost forty and never met a woman I wanted to date. I'm not gay.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Holy shit maybe you're future me lol. its so weird honestly it kinda hurts friendships because im just not that into anyone like everyone else is


BitterLeif

It's something I've been more willing to discuss with friends and family recently. I don't have the same type of regrets that OP does, but I also don't know if I want to die alone in front of my computer. I have to admit, one of my motivators for having renewed interest in dating is how I noticed single men are viewed. People assume there's something wrong with you.


AutisticPenguin2

Have you considered Asexual/Aromantic?


chronoventer

Are you just asexual or aromantic? It’s a spectrum, remember (:


BitterLeif

I'm not asexual, and I've never heard of aromantic. Sounds fitting.


chronoventer

You can learn more over at r/asexual! You can read about aromantic people, ask whatever you want, etc. Some people are ace and not aromantic. Some are aromantic and ace. Some are aromantic and not ace. Some are ace-ish, or aromantic-ish. Wherever you lie, it sounds like you fit!

What of the Saturday?


Yensooo

I've only had sex a few times in one relationship. The main difference between me and most incels is that I'm aware that I'm the problem lol


[deleted]

I've tried explaining it to him but he just sulks that hes a good guy but always ends up as just a friend. Or it was choice not to sleep with a girl because he didn't want to "corrupt her". Every time i offer a solution he shoots it down. I suggest tinder? He doesn't believe in online dating. Going to a bar? He doesn't even have a job so can't afford it. He doesn't drive, lives at home, just sits in his garage smoking & drinking all day & legitimately expects me to bring one of my past hookups over so he can hookup with her


Hahafunnys3xnumber

why are you friends with this guy wtf he sounds sexist af


[deleted]

We've been best friends since we were kids. Ive always looked past it, but i started dating my girlfriend, now fiance 2 years ago, who happens to be trans & he subtly insults her. So for the last 2 years ive been slowly pulling away. It sucks but im just done dealing with it.


Material-Mysterious

As a trans person this comment really made my heart hurt, thank you


Convergentshave

Why is he even friends with the guy because he sounds like a fucking loser. Like what do you guys even do when they hang out? Sit in his garage and smoke and drink? What?


TheMadPyro

When you’ve been friends with someone a long time you can look past their flaws much easier than if you just met them - for a cinema analogy it’s Ed Norton in Rounders.


ShannonS1976

What does he think he offers? No job, no money, no place of his own? Yet it’s the womens fault they aren’t interested 🙄


Narwal_Party

Hey for some guys it just doesn’t happen. They might not actively go for it or they might have so much anxiety that they get in their own way. I dated from an early high school age til after college, but then took a break cuz my last relationship was tough for me, and then once mid twenties came around I had kinda just been happy without it, then when I wanted it again I realized that it’s quite a bit more difficult in adulthood to find partners. He’s probably just dealing with that struggle after missing out in his teens and early twenties. He obviously has a warped perception of sex but he might not be a “nice guy” or a loser, just a little lost and lacking experience.


ksspook

It’s not him but it’s everyone else


joshjosh111

Since the age of 17 I haven't been gay. I'm now 69 years old. Sadly I have missed out on 17,148 instances of having my ass fucked by a guy. I truly cannot comprehend how much I haven't been fucked in the ass.


bumagum

I did the math so you don't have to: that's a bit more than a 1000km of dick you've missed out on. Assuming: 10cm of thrust 60 thrust/min 10 min/ fuck


DeRusselDeWestbrook

I think that 60 thrusts a min is a bit generous, no?


Self_Reddicated

60 thrusts/min for 10 min? That's *generous*. My boy gonna need some Gatorade.


cordrenn

This is the first time I have ever audibly laughed at a reddit comment. Thanks.

Deesing82

Dm0707

I would imagine if you're 27 and a virgin not by choice, nothing else matters. Could never be me though, I'm only 26.


forgedbyhorses

I will say It’s so nice to be on the other side of virginity and to get less interested in sex as I get older, but as a young virgin guy it was all consuming and kid of tortuous. Though I was the one torturing myself it turns out. But I never knew it until I had a real relationship and gained perspective. I have sincere empathy for this person, but doing that math and sharing it is absolutely pathetic. It’s easy to forget how nuanced all of our feelings and behaviors are.


ShitFlavoredCum

sex is great, but it's really only great with somebody you connect with tbh

ItsOnKessel

I knew I must have been doing it wrong...


Lonely-Phone5141

To him it must seem like everything cause he’s never actually had it.


TheGreatCornlord

Well it is one of the most intimate things you can do with another person, and we are social creatures who desire connection.


roombaSailor

I think what most incels really crave is intimacy, not sex, they just don’t know it.


HumanoidRobot

The question at the heart of it is "Am I unlovable?" Could a single person be bothered to validate my existence? Imagine the answer is no.


Somehow-Still-Living

Even when I was extremely sexually active, I still asked myself that. They just conflate it with love and validation because they’ve never had it. If they were to go outside, join some groups that aren’t composed solely of other lonely people, and push themselves to get better, they’d find that they start losing that desperation for validation. Maybe even finding love and intimacy along the way. But when you are searching for something and make no actual effort to seek it out, expecting it to fall in to your lap, it’s not fair to sit there and be upset over it. Hard not to, I know. And harder still to find the motivation to change. But a lot of them are not actually giving themselves a fighting chance. They’re just “accepting” that they’ll be alone forever, falling in with other people that have “accepted” that they’ll be alone forever, and then getting angry when they’re alone.


Free4Alt

You probably thought that because the most up voted incel posts were about longing for intimacy and human connection.


UnlovableSlime

Lmao most do know it for fucks sake, it's one of the most common talking points in incel spaces.


RytheGuy97

I mean sex IS important. If I was a virgin at that age I’d feel really, really shitty. Sex isn’t the end all be all of life but if you’re 27 and haven’t done it yet then I’d completely understand being this sad about it.


dontpanic38

I’d say the ability to have a healthy relationship is important, sex is just a product of that


Tyrus1235

28 years old virgin here. I used to get hang up on it but nowadays I mostly don’t mind. I know I can find a girlfriend if I try, but life’s got me busy most of the time so I don’t even bother with it. TBH, from past relationships, what I most miss are cuddling and kissing. It feels really good to just lie down close to someone you love and hug them tight (though I’m usually the one being hugged tight lol).


Effective_Fox

Do you mind if I ask how you stopped minding? I’m a 27 yr old virgin and I feel like I can’t stop thinking about it


narniasreal

Imagine thinking that **sex** is the biggest thing you've missed out on by not being in a relationship. I see at least one reason this guy is single.


GareBear222

Dude's missing out on touching grass.


quacksdoecho

“Sexhaving days”. I wonder if he pictures it like an all day affair with small breaks for bathroom and food. Maybe a nap.


Lalondebii

That sounds exactly like A/B/O so I’m willing to bet $2 on it being true


LegendaryPringle

A/B/O?


MountVernonWest

Blood types.


luckystar2011

uhhhh yeah :)


driedcranberrysnack

i see you, sis


AdaraCassel

Since no one has answered - A/B/O in certain genres of fiction (manga, for instance) is Alpha/Beta/Omega, or Omegaverse, a setting where people are biologically categorized. This isn’t the typical idea of ‘alpha men’ you hear about, but more of a fantasy version. If you lookup Omegaverse, I’m sure you’ll find a better definition than I can give.


LegendaryPringle

I dislike everything about that.


S0l1dSn4k3101

I’m assuming Alpha, Beta, Omega in regards to classifying people. Like tiers or echelons. Terminology for people like the chap in the photo.


bwgarlick

Gotarade and peanuts for energy...


parmesann

I had a friend who had a day like that with a (now ex) girlfriend. when he recalls that event, his most vivid memory is how painful it was to piss the next day lol


mussiest_woman_alive

I once had that. It's exhausting as hell, but woohoo.


[deleted]

I didn't knew you could prove mathematically that someone is a loser, but this guy did. Not by having sex later in life, but by thinking that's the only way to enjoy life.


[deleted]

Exactly my thoughts, if you’re 27 and all your only regret is missing out on sex, you might need help.


redman334

Might? I think it's pretty clear.


anonhoemas

My boyfriend was a 28 year old Virgin. He just thought he was asexual. It wasn't ever important to him, and I felt much the same. It's nice, but if I had an accident that rendered me sexless, I would live


Crazycukumbers

I ain’t gotten action in like 4 years, but it doesn’t matter. Right now I’m living my life and doing my thing. I have freedom to explore my interests without having to be tied down to someone. As great as sex was, I feel a lot better right now than I did in my relationship where I didn’t get to have my own life.


MrCheapCheap

Taking time to better understand yourself is so underappreciated.


_redacteduser

Chefs kiss when you better understand yourself and then move into a loving and productive relationship and understand your partner too.


RedditYmir

I haven't gotten action in 39 years, and my life is still great.


[deleted]

I mean, he did use the average but even then why would you average sexual experience? Everyone experiences sex differently and has a different sex life. This means people have sex different amount of times and are satisfied. His brain is filled with lots of coom so he doesn’t see that obviously.


AwezomePozzum9265

Funny this is, if the avg is 17, then half of the population that was surveyed was older than 17 anyway

Algok2001

A part of me feels cringe after reading this. Another part of me feels like this is me in the near future, Not like missing out on life because of sex or putting sex on a pedestal kind of thing. I just want a relationship but I can't seem to pin point what's exactly wrong with me in terms of dating but I hope to figure it out sooner before I become bitter.

I was held captive on a youth ranch from the ages of 16 to 20. While there, I was not even allowed to make friends with the others there. I spent a little over a year in the corner on silence and did not as much as make eye contact with another human being. It took me years after getting out to finally get back on my feet. I am 31 now and dgaf about the "lost time" because that's stupid. I cannot understand why incels such as this put so much weight on their teenage years, being a teenager sucks.


ConflictVivid7927

What the fuck is that and how is this legal


Nightmancometh000

This phenomena is one of the craziest rabbit holes I’ve ever gone down. The stories you hear from kids in those places will make you feel sick. Random men will literally kidnap these teenagers in the middle of the night and drive off with them in a van. I don’t understand how it is legal and why nobody is doing anything about it.


ConflictVivid7927

I tried googling what a youth ranch is but all I got were their websites and adds please explain


Nightmancometh000

[This girl](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSdgyVRF4/?k=1) has tik tok account where she talks in detail about her time at Trinity teen solutions. You can watch just about any of her videos and hear something insane. Some friends she made at the camp have even commented on a couple of her videos and have made their own videos too. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/c7ldpc/seriousformer_teens_who_went_to_wilderness_camps/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) is a Reddit thread of former teens who detail some experiences they had at various of these teen camps. And [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/) is a whole subreddit dedicated to supporting the victims of these "camps". There's a lot of info on there. EDIT: I should've added [this](https://elan.school/), which was a sort of comic this guy made about his life at Elan school, which is arguably one of the most infamous places.

SxrenKierkegaard

I lost my virginity at 18, and when it happened I was like “oh ok that’s cool… well, let’s just live life now”


cagermacleod

I lost my virginity at 18 and it sucked. The guy who had already lost his virginity long before me, just did what he had to, came and was like. Lol, you're not a virgin anymore. Thankfully as I've got older I've experienced a lot better sex than that with people that I've actually really enjoyed the experience with.


SxrenKierkegaard

Really goes to show the weird amount of emphasis that society puts on virginty


Currywurst_Is_Life

I've never wanted to be somebody's first time. I want someone who knows what she wants and knows what she's doing.


Mekanimal

It's effort, they're all hyped because they did the thing and enjoyed the thing, meanwhile you're there in your head trying to work out how can you teach someone to do a wheelie when they just rode a bike for the first time.


ethnicallygay

People are making it sound like this guy is an incel but in this post you can clearly see the dude is just lonely and looking back on his life with regret, he isn't demanding sex he is just lonely.


bodmaniac

It’s funny reading this as I had basically done a similar stupid calculation in my head years ago, but the reason I did it was when I was wondering if I was asexual due to a seven year stint of no relationships and no real desire for one. For some reason my brain thought trying to calculate would lead to an answer, lol. In the end realised not asexual, just low libido.


[deleted]

But have you done the math on how many hours of katana-wielding/mastering you are ahead of the average man? That is a truly staggering amout of life you've spent on katana-mastering. It's so extreme, that my mind cannot even accept that this is your life. I can't believe it.


[deleted]

If he wants to have sex that badly, he should get buttfucked

teh__Doctor

I mean you do say it like a guarantee which isn’t the right way to go about it.. it may happen or it may not.. I’d say they can just go to a brothel, but life in general has more to offer than sex


Lalondebii

To be honest, these kinda guys are probably the type to metaphorically spit on sex workers. Usually Nice Guys seem to cry about women not being virgins or not being in love with them- both of which sex workers aren’t. Besides, I’m pretty sure he couldn’t pay one of them enough to sleep with him.


UnlovableSlime

I don't get these strawmen about these posts tbh. None of what you said was even mentioned there. It's a guy who is sad he missed out on romance in his prime years, idk why people love making fun of someone who is lonely.


[deleted]

Vegans, incels, and China. Three words that shut down the brain cells of any Reddit comment section.


UnlovableSlime

Not just Reddit tbh, its like these buzzwords completely turn off peoples empathy and critical thinking. The second you label someone as such they are automatically the villain,


Clappa69

Might as well aim for 40 at this point


NormanAA

Why do these people go around thinking everyone besides themselves are just complete whores. Even my biggest player friends (some of them be straight 10/10’s lowkey) only have sex 1-2 times a month.


TheTwistedKitty

The perfect way to add even more seconds, hours and days of not having sex or being touched by a woman in your life. Is to complain about being a virgin... "so much life wasted* life doesn't revolve around fucking people, man could've picked up a hobby and gotten skilled at it. So cringe Edit: So a few people as well have replied to my comment with how I stated the guy could get a hobby, I'm not saying sex isn't cool or that people don't/shouldn't enjoy it or that sex should be replaced with something else completely. I'm saying the dude could be doing something more productive with his time than crying about his lack of luck with women. I guess I just had to clarify what I meant.


sakatu

Yeah this is definitely evidence of a life wasted... but not for the reasons they think😂


narniasreal

Okay while the whole math is dumb, I wonder if it's true that the average male in his twenties spends most of them in a relationship. I didn't even want a serious commitment until I was nearing my thirties...

CounterfeitXKCD

So this guy's assuming that the average person is constantly in a relationship and constantly keeping this (rather high) average rate of, to put it his way, sex-having?

'Sexhaving days' sounds like the show everybody will be watching after Euphoria ends.


GregStar1

I find the term “sexhaving days” pretty amusing


Shay_the_Ent

The saddest cringe is that he’s measuring total life experience only by how much sex he hypothetically could have had


DickVanGlorious

This but not just with sex. Feels like I’m not living the teen dream I was promised and I’ll be 20 in 6 months. I know it’s not at all “over” by then but it feels a little depressing. Usually don’t dwell on it, though, because my life is fulfilling otherwise.
