Here's a scenario; I'd just like some feedback and opinions on it. This is a close relative of mine.

29 years old, never had a real relationship. Is there anything wrong with that? It is definetly unusual, but is that something to be concerned about? Or just a part of variance where some guys are sometimes not gonna find a match of liking someone enough who likes them for an extended period of time?

Here is some personal background on the guy:
-had his first GF when he was 14 for a few weeks with a girl who was considered hot for that age
-never a GF after that
-has had sex (counting intercourse, oral) with between 10 and 15 girls, but most have been one night stands from bars, or one time encounters at the bar for a couple of those.
-fairly average looking guy
-Canadian born, educated, middle class
-has been pursued by mediocre girls, but never the really hot ones he's into

I don't think there is anything wrong with you not being in a real relationship. Marriage is pretty stupid, just enjoy life, and avoid the costs of divorce.

How do you let them know your income? Say you get talking to someone in a bar, do you just drop into the conversation "...oh nothing much, went and saw Die Hard 4, won 20k playing poker".

But seriously, spend a lot of money on clothes, watch and car. I can't really tell how much something costs, but women can. They have the shopping gene.

I learned long ago that a "relationship" wasn't in MY best interests, and I'm so much happier to be alone and free to do what I want. The biggest hurdle is getting past parents and family who expect you to get married and have kids. You have to do whats right for you and not to please family members. Maybe he feels this way or maybe he hasn't found the right match yet. Whatever it is, its HIS life to live as he chooses.

He's in real danger. Women can smell ignorance on a man.
In this case, it's not sexual ignorance (although he likely has that in spades if he's never been with the same woman more than a couple times); it's ignorance of how to act with a girlfriend. Think some hot 25-30 wants to date a guy with his relationship training wheels still on?

Also, average looking guys who refuse to date average looking women tend to be very lonely guys.
