Why is it that so many guys place so much importance on getting laid?
Ego, society and media, and biology all combined.
Does getting some p*ssy actually change your outlook of life?
Not really other than a stress reliever lol.
What's so bad about being a virgin?
Nothing is bad about it per se. The problem is that sex is rubbed in our faces so much that it really hurts to feel "left out."
As I said before, being a virgin (to a very late age) wasn't so bad. I actually didn't crave sex THAT much because I hadn't tried it yet. (I couldn't miss what I hadn't experienced.)
The real problem was listening to guy friends, male relatives, etc. constantly talk about women, lays, BJs, makeouts, etc. These conversations would go on for hours. Of course, I had nothing to contribute. It was either listen to other guys' exploits (whether true or exaggerated) or be a complete loner. Many times I would have to eventually walk away from such conversations holding back tears because I was constantly reminded that I was "weird" and "left out."
So, anyway, there is nothing wrong with being a virgin. The only real downsides are hearing everybody else's sexual relationship gossip and seeing other guys with girls.
...getting laid for the first time is easy, assuming you're willing to drastically lower your standards.
I will respectfully disagree with this. A lot of guys simply don't know HOW to get a female to that point, or their lack of looks (with possible social awkwardness) makes it extremely difficult to pull it off or they don't have access to many women (i.e. no social circle) or some combination of those. Of course, once you score once, it gets easier, but the first one isn't easy unless he meets an aggressive female who makes it easy for him.
The REAL reason why guys want to be good with women and get laid a lot is so they can feel good about themselves.
True.
So actually OP's REAL problem is that he feels worthless...not that he is a virgin.
Certainly it's a factor.
Women aren't important...most are too stupid or too average as people to place any importance with.
I agree completely, but it's easy for me to say that because I'm older. It's a very difficult thing for a young guy to digest.
The more life experiences and well-rounded a man becomes, the more he sees women for what they really are.
