Ah, another lousy year for me. I don't know how your's was, but I can add another 12 months to my pathetic existence.
The year started out with a funeral. One of my good friends from college had a parent pass away. I won't say which parent so as to not give this away, and the passing wasn't sudden, it was the end of a long illness. So not surprising, but sad nonetheless.
February and March saw me really start to kick it into high gear with the fitness stuff. Those were some pretty critical months since the winter is when I tend to crave carbs and loathe cardio more than normal.
In April I went to a fundraising event for a local tutoring company. The company I work for was a sponsor so I had to make the rounds and be sociable. Met a woman there, who was cute, but drunk. I gave her my business card when she asked for it but I obviously never heard from her again. For the best I suppose.
In May I went on the first date I'd been on since early 2011. Met her from a dating site. We had coffee in her neighborhood (which was a trek for me) and had a relatively nice time. But, as I made my way home she emailed me on the website to tell me she wasn't interested in seeing me further. You win some you lose some I guess. Nice girl, shame it didn't work out. I also saw Iron Man 3 in May. An ok movie, but like Iron Man 2, nowhere near as good as the first movie. The whole Avengers subplot has kind of ruined some of the Marvel movies I think.
June and July were pretty uneventful. Went to some ball games, did some stuff, but nothing too spectacular.
August: saw The Wolverine. Great movie, highly recommend it, especially now since it's out on DVD and BluRay. I also got a job. Started out well, but then got really shitty. That's life I suppose.
September: had a great time at two ballgames. Including one in which I got to take several friends with me.
October: went to the first Halloween party I've ever been to. A lot of driving, and it was great to see my friends. But it wasn't like I met any women or anything.
November: quit my shitty job, went back to my old one (with a raise at least). Joined a new gym (which is a great gym by the way).
December: went to my friend's birthday dinner, got some good Christmas presents. That's about it.
I'm still inexperienced. Just FYI. If any ladies want to kiss me I'm certainly down. Just a kiss (maybe make out if you want to, but I'm just looking to have my first kiss). I'd like to kiss a girl by the end of the year. Which gives me what, a couple of days to get that done? Ugh.
So, how was your year? Shitty like mine? Better than mine? Did you actually kiss anyone? Let me know.

Question Time
So I've been dipping into my mail bag searching for good questions (as always, email me your questions at theinexpguy@gmail.com) and the one that pops up the most is "why are you so negative?".
Well, let me explain why. I might not be the most experienced guy out there, but I've learned a few things here and there by observing people and relationships. Granted, that can only teach you so much, but it reveals some things and can be very insightful.
People are shitty. Not just in how they treat others, but also how they treat themselves. I've seen men fall all over themselves trying to keep their wife or girlfriend happy even though they'd probably be better off ditching the situation. I've seen women stick with true assholes despite the fact that they could get any man in the world. And when I talk about "asshole" behavior, I'm not talking about "he didn't call at 5 pm like he said he would, he called at 5:15", I'm talking about things like he cheated or beat you up, or is a drunk deadbeat who got pulled over 3 times already for a DUI.
Obviously, it's the latter part that truly truly sticks in my crawl. I can't tell you how many guys I've seen or heard about who have a truly great girlfriend or wife, but somehow feel the need to cheat on her. And then, bizarrely, the woman in question invariably takes him back (often with excuses). I mean you have got to be fucking kidding me. That piece of trash can get multiple women pining for him and I'm lucky if I get a date once a year? That's the kind of stuff that really bothers me. And it's why I often don't bother approaching women because I feel like I'm not that guy. I'm not going to cause you drama or cheat on you or whatever and that makes me boring, it makes me not a challenge and not a good catch. It doesn't matter how much we have in common or how good looking I may or may not be, I'm just not the kind of guy that inspires that kind of real attraction.
In fact, it's not just inspiring attraction. I have a hard time getting women to want to go out on a date, talk on the phone, skype, etc. It's really like pulling teeth. I've never asked for naked pics, never sent naked pics, and on all my messages on dating sites I offer more than just a "hey how are you?" type of message. I always feel like I'm an annoyance rather than welcome attention. Maybe if I was more of an asshole, or more of a threat to cheat or whatever I'd have better luck.
I know some of you will shake your head at this. And that's fine. I understand I have a small sample size, etc. But it's an undeniable fact that I'm still single, as I have been for my entire adult life, and I've yet to meet a real douchey guy who had trouble getting dates. So if you want to know why I'm so negative, that's why.
As always feel free to email, comment, tweet me, submit questions via facebook or tumblr.

A Rather Negative Post
I recently had a conversation with someone over relationship/romantic inexperience. I revealed that I had not kissed a girl and I was 25 years old, and how they would feel about a hypothetical 25 year old kissless virgin.
Her reaction was something along the lines of "whoever you end up with one day will find it sweet that she's your first kiss", etc.
I'm sorry, I have to say it's bullshit. Most women my age expect an experienced man. Not necessarily a sex god of some sort, but that he at least knows what he's doing when it comes to kissing, holding hands, being in a relationship, etc. I know because I've had women tell me as much. If a woman finds out a guy has never kissed she'll head for the hills as quickly as humanly possible.
I know, I know, not every single woman would react that way. There might be a handful here or there who are sexually inexperienced themselves (for various reasons) who might prefer inexperienced men, but honestly that's so few and far between. We're talking about most women, and by "most" I mean somewhere along the lines of 90% or more.
I appreciate words of encouragement, or at least, I appreciate the motivation behind them. But, I really don't like people who want to give me (or anyone else) false hope. I know being older and inexperienced is weird. I know it turns women off a lot. I don't need you telling me some girl will find it "sweet". Let's be real here: ain't no one going to find that sweet.
