IN THIS EDITION: More guys than you think remain virgins well
into adulthood. If not sexually experienced, how does a guy handle
the issue with women he meets? This can become a MASSIVE source of
frustration. It doesn't have to be, though...as long as you are
willing to do some "Chick Whispering".
=====
I'VE GOT A GIFT FOR YOU: Last night I decided to put my recent
four-part series on "How To Handle Breakups" into a downloadable
report. Besides making it user-friendly and pleasing to the eye, I
also added some brand new material in addition to what was on the
blog.
Best of all, this will not cost you a dime. All you have to do is
click the link below and download it immediately.
Even if you aren't headed towards a breakup at the moment,
definitely grab this report and stash it away for safe keeping.
After all, let's face it, just about all of us are going to break
up with someone sooner or later. The only alternative is,
what...marrying the first person you meet, or something?

READER QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Dear Mr. McKay,
I'm pretty old (38) and still a virgin. This is for a number of
reasons. (Part of it is my past religious upbringing, which I have
since rejected a while ago.)
What do you recommend in regard to what to tell a woman about this,
when one is pretty old and still a virgin? Should one openly
volunteer to tell her that one is still a virgin?
Do you recommend lying and saying that one is not? Should one just
not bring up the topic? What if she brings it up and explicitly asks
you?
In particular, if one is looking to meet women through online
dating, should one openly state that one is still virgin in one's
first e-mail to a prospect (or even in one's profile summary)?
I'd like to know about the most effective approach. However, I
think that lying to get something you want from another person will
backfire in the long run.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
Sincerely,
Rashid (Dubai, UAE)
Hey, Rashid:
First, PLEASE call me Scot. "Mr. McKay" is way too formal.
This is a question I get quite a bit, and my answer always
surprises guys.
Let's do some 'chick whispering' here. Men tend to be pretty hard
on their peers who haven't been with a woman by a certain age.
This is precisely what causes guilt and shame for guys who remain
virgins into adulthood, I think.
But women are wired very differently. They typically aren't so
quick judge a man by his sexual experience or lack thereof.
For many, many women out there finding out you are a virgin would be
actually sort of exciting--especially if it's by choice.
Let me elaborate upon that last statement in two different ways.
First, it's my opinion that being a virgin is almost ALWAYS 'by
choice'.
You didn't mention anything about why you've remained a virgin even
after your world view changed, but my guess is that you could have
had sex if you really, really felt it was the thing to do.
Hell, you could have hired a prostitute. But you DIDN'T.
Even guys with severe social skill or hygiene issues can learn how
to relate to people, take a shower and brush their teeth.
Women instinctively KNOW this. And as such, they can more readily
respect the fact that you haven't had sex than your buddies can.
For them, you may be a CHALLENGE (and that is usually a VERY GOOD
thing).
Plus, she'll look across the table from you and see a man who is
100% free of STDs and decidedly NOT a "man whore". That's
something she'll feel comfortable in not having to worry about.
And make no mistake--the higher the quality of woman you are sitting
across said table from, the MORE LIKELY what I'm telling you is
going to play out according to plan.
Kind of casts a new light on the subject doesn't it?
For the second piece of the "big picture", let me ask you a
question regarding the very premise of what worries you.
You might want to sit down for this one, because it's likely to
rock your world a bit. Ready?
If in a woman's eyes 'zero' is an unacceptable number of sex
partners for you to have had thus far, then what IS "acceptable"?
If the number could potentially be perceived as a large one, you'd
likely be equally if not more reticent to share that info with a
woman than you would that you're a virgin....right?
So how many women SHOULD you have slept with by now in order to get
all the women to love you?
Two? Five? No more than, say...seven?
Give me a shout if you can agree that's a preposterous concept to
even consider.
What I'd love to encourage you to do is BE PROUD that you've
remained a virgin and KILL THE SHAME.
Shame SUCKS.
But identifying limiting beliefs and eliminating the sources of
shame in your life ROCKS.
I realize this isn't going to happen instantly. There's a habit of
feeling sorry for yourself that has to be re-framed.
But if you take what I'm telling you seriously to heart, I bet you
can revolutionize your outlook on all of this a lot faster than you
think.
And by the way, you owe no woman ANY personal information of ANY
sort in your very first e-mail to her (let alone in the profile
narrative!).
In fact, even the FIRST DATE should be devoted to simply measuring
whether you and a woman are getting along and having fun together.
I really don't think you need to "force the issue" ever.
If it comes up naturally in the course of conversation after you
and she have known each other for a bit, then so be it.
Keep your head up and speak about it confidently. Don't overdo it,
or you'll look insincere. But by no means hang your head
sheepishly as if ashamed.
One caveat here is that the woman may very well not want to pursue
anything further with you...not because of YOU but because of HER.
Your virginity may be very, VERY intimidating to a woman who is
perhaps ashamed of her own sexual experience. Have you ever
considered that possibility?
Such is what begins to occur to us when we are able to get out of
our own heads for once.
I'm reminded of a guy I know who struggled with the same issue that
you are currently.
When he summoned the courage to proclaim his virginity to the woman
he had been seeing for a few dates, he was pleasantly surprised to
find out SHE WAS ALSO.
From then on this amazingly sharp woman was virtually addicted to
him. And that's a true story--and one that I've seen replicated
elsewhere, no less.
Deserve what you want, man. Captivate a great woman with your
character.
Cheers,
Scot
Even if Rashid's quandary isn't one you can relate to directly,
it's a very real fact that there are almost as many different
classes of "limiting beliefs" as there are people walking the planet.
The irony is that when we learn about someone else's struggles in a
particular area, we can usually see straightaway why it's
irrational of him or her to feel that way.
We'd just like to get inside that person's head and "flip a switch"
to make it go away, right?
But the truth is that we see light through only our own eyes in
this life. And that means that we are more intimately acquainted
with all of our own dark secrets than anyone else ever could be.
And the straight-up truth is it usually just isn't as easy as it
sounds to face down our own personal demons.
But I'll tell you what. It CAN be A LOT EASIER than you think it
is. You've just got to get the right kind of encouragement.
I'd like to think I've got your back. And that's exactly why I
wrote Deserve What You Want.
If you haven't claimed your very own copy of it yet, go ahead and
do that now. I've made it so easy for you that there really aren't
any excuses left.
I've actually gone in and changed the price from $27 to ***$17***.
No coupons or anything necessary. And yes--the bonuses are still
part of the package.
I'll keep it that way until sometime this weekend, so grab yours
before it's too late:

Put the obstacles of the past behind you. Discover what you want,
and then get on the fast track to deserving it.
You'll even get your hands on my actual, real-life online dating
profile that I used to get a 60-80% response rate on Match.com
If you haven't read up on what else awaits you in Deserve What You
Want, here's the place:

Whatever you do, make sure you get in on the F-R-E-E month of Power
Sessions For Men when you snag your copy.
This month's is all about how to have a PLAN for your dating life,
and guys are loving it.
AND...you'll also get in under the wire for the May edition, which
will break down "kino" for you in a way that might literally change
everything you've ever been told about how, when and why to get
physical with women.
Have a great weekend, fellas, and I'll talk to you again soon.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
