Hi there, I'm 22 white/native male and have zero experience with women. I've never even kissed a girl let alone had sex with one. I was picked on a lot at school because I have extensive burns on my neck, chest and a bit on my face after a serious fire at my home (long story involving my deadbeat dad, Jack Daniels and lighter fluid). At 16 I tried to kill myself and was put on a lot of meds. Things have gotten better since I got out of school and am on my own now. I'm still anxious and a little depressed, mostly because I'm not having any success with women.

You grow up believing that things will just happen or work themselves out...but it's bullshit, if you want something you have to start working for it and that's what I plan to do. I want to learn how to get over my fears and low self-esteem and approach girls and lose my virginity ffs.

The biggest problem I have are my burns, I feel so unattractive and self-conscious about them and I think that's holding me back.

Right now I have a small group of good friends and we go out regularly, but I'm afraid of rejection so I never make any moves on girls...especially because of how I feel I look. I've been reading a bit into PUA stuff and think it would help so I'm here to learn and push myself.

Thanks for reading.
