Anger with Father

Anyone have tips on how to not feel angry with father and how to get experience as a man later in life (26 yo)? I never joined a sports team, dated, shot a gun or had sex before (embarrassed asf to say that last part but fuck it). A part of me feels like Im late in life as a man because when I was younger grades took more importance than socializing and anything else really. Im not a stereotypical virgin however. I have a decent physique, Im charismatic and have a good social circle and Im well liked. In fact I lie about my sex life because Im ashamed of the truth. If anyone has gone through something similar where one foot is in anger but the other is in hope Id like some sort of guidance. Im really trying to be the best man I can be despite my experiences. Thanks

Take your time. Do not rush.

I know how you feel. In fact It wasn't to long ago that I had the same mindset. It wasn't like I had many opportunities to lose my virginity either. But it never felt like the right time nor did I feel that emotionally ready for it…..and I'm glad I didn’t. Those “opportunities” would have ended badly for me. One of which was a married woman. I'm still a virgin at 28. I'm still waiting for the right person. I have only ever loved once and I hope to find someone that I truly love again someday that's when I’ll know when I'm ready. Being a virgin doesn't make you weak or less of a man. There are more important things in life than sex. You just need to find the right woman.

Learn to move forward and forgive as Jesus did. I’m sure he has someone in mind for you at the right time that models his love! Also I grew up with a Dad but keep pushing and be yourself. It will happen

Im 26 and had sex and honestly can say this…what you have is a blessing!Wait for the right woman and lose it then in marriage will save you so much heartache.

I have held resentment for my father as well. He isn’t a model figure for me. I don’t want to end up like him. And that’s essentially the core issue of the relationship. To become a man… each man finds his own way. All any of us are doing is conquering fear and laziness. The best men are fearless hard workers.

In my experience talking to your parents about things you wished they would have done differently is not very helpful. If you have things now that you want them to do differently, that’s OK to respectfully bring up. For example, you might want less advice or instruction now that you are an adult. You don’t get to choose your parents. And if they loved you and did the best they could, it’s not really fair to look back and hold them to a higher standard if they were already doing their best. Do you want kids? How do you want them to treat you? The best parents can do is take what their parents did, and make slight improvements.

I’m 22 also a virgin mate I was one of the popular kids in school and sporty. Had opportunities to but never gone through with them. I don’t really know why I’d like to say it’s cause I want more than just a one time thing maybe that’s different with you. But wouldn’t say that makes you less of a man. I work a blue collar job make good money live on my own have a nice car and savings/ investments and also help out my parents whenever I can. I believe this is more of a “man” than a guy who goes out looking for girls on a night out every week. My idea of a man and I’m open to more if anyone else reads this is to be able to provide for family, strong in health, respected, man of God, decisive and probably a few more just off the top of my head. Also as a believer I think you shouldn’t bother thinking about what others do and just trust Gods plan and do your best to have a relationship with him so you understand yourself and don’t keep beating yourself up and find peace. This will allow you to become more confident in yourself which I’ve found. Not sure if any of this will help best of luck

Women are whores nowadays so why would you want sloppy 30’s or 100’s or however how many men she slept with?

In a way it’s a good thing you haven’t learned the wrong way to try later on in life to finally learn the right way. The only right way to be a man is to be a man of God and to learn his way.

Hi brother, sex isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. I’d recommend waiting until after marriage to have sex. Also if you want to be a man, I’ve learnt the hard way that it is best to be a man under Jehovah. Find Jesus, give your life to Him, and He’ll teach you how to be a man. God bless

most guys got our first by being sneaky with girls we dont even like anymore. dont be upset about it bro. believe you’re the best man already & half the work is done. ngl tho bruh yo first piece might be embarrassing as hell so make sure its with a girl you 300% comfortable with & is comfortable with you, so yall can laugh about it & try again later

Don’t be made at your father. Don’t be mad that you haven’t had sex. There’s many people here who wish they haven’t had sex yet. I sure wish i can go back in life and never have sex . I wish i saved it for marriage. God calls us to remain a virgin and give that gift to our future wife. Continue to take care of yourself. Don’t be mad about not playing sports those are worldly things brother. What you can do is learn about Jesus Christ. Learn about the Holy Spirit and how much God loves and cares for you. He called you by name and perfected you perfect in his image. Don’t let the enemy lie to you. You are on the right track. Be reborn again in Christ !
