<p>I'm a straight male and I turn 21 next week and I've never had a girlfriend. It's not my fault either, I just have very bad luck. I'm the type who approaches girls, very self-confident and I'm nice, and I can be a little cocky but I consider myself perfect dating material. </p>
<p>Any other college student never dated on here?</p>

<p>ShannonEntropy: I’m not insecure at all lol. But no thanks, I won’t be buying sex.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about not having a girlfriend.</p>
<p>Take this advice from an old guy.</p>
<p>I had no girlfriends in college. I did only slightly better in graduate school. </p>
<p>But then, when I was 23, and got out into the work world (I lived in Chicago), I did great, and the older I got, the better I did. </p>
<p>I just wanted to give you a little long term perspective on this issue.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a big deal. But I find this comment strange:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s like you’re saying “it’s not me, it’s them.” LOL.</p>
<p>you must be bonkers to think that all of the thousands and thousands and thousands of guys in college have had a girlfriend. i don’t think that’s statistically probable.</p>

<p>I can see why yer ‘nervous’ , N/B … yer living in the wrong decade. You must have gone to school back in the '70s </p>
<p>Nowadays, women FAR outnumber men on campus. At my university [ Brown ] women are 52% of the student body. That means 48% are men</p>
<p>And speaking of Statistics: if you know anything about gambling, you know that if you play any game with a 4% house advantage, well, you might as well just mail your money in to them</p>

<p>capenn15: That’s exactly what I’m saying.</p>
<p>NervusBreakdown: Of course, it is ridiculous to think 100% of college males have had a girlfriend(I’ve never had one, and I know two other guys who haven’t) but I wouldn’t doubt roughly 90% of college students have been in a relationship. The other 10% have bad luck.</p>
