29 year old guy: never been in relationship

[Chris Daddy Cool]

10-15 is a good number of girls to have had sex with so clearly he is *capable* of getting to know a girl enough to date and be in a relationship with.

He probably doesn't suffer from this but perhaps some form or of it or something similar and i wouldn't be surprised if a couple people in these forums had it as well:
Love Shyness

OP here. Thanks for the feedback so far. Definetely some discussion points I'll when I talk to my relative, who I'll refer to as 'my bro':

- probably a gap between standards of who he'll date, and who he can attract. He needs to either adjust his standards, or improve his qualities to attract a higher standard.

- the point about 'relationship training wheels' definetely made sense. He's definetely lacking in experience, but at the same time, he's fairly socially competent and easy to get along with. I don't imagine he'll be in a ton of trouble, but might hit some tricky situations where experience would have saved him. Commonsense will have to substitute.

- he is definetely aware he's had alot less sexual experience than most men, but for some reason he's been able to do things other guys can't. He's been able to make out with women within seconds of meeting them, and at times sleep with women within an hour of them meeting him. I've seen him get inside the panties of women at the nightclubs while he was making out or dancing with them. That being said, he's not the type of guy that women would go out of their way to check out if he was in a crowd of attractive guys.

-The theory about watching porn totally made sense:
(1) Less sex = viewing more porn = having higher visually standards of women = unable to date the mediocre women that are attracted to him = back to part (1)

This was an interesting read. I could see alot of these qualities relating to my bro, but at the same time, he's not a virgin.
