Sadly, at age 18, you are going to experience "shedloads" of this in the next decade of your life. Particularly if you go off to college/university, and perhaps even postgraduation for a few years. Wikipedia explains:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_chic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_until_graduation

Now for a young man your age with your hormones going full blast, this is going to be hard advice, but here goes:

1. Build up your economic value and maintain / improve your physical shape. Don't compete against others--that will just bring you down and make you miserable--just compete against *yourself*. I hope that makes sense.

Believe it or not, by the time you are 30, if you:
--are unmarried without kids,
--with a stable and reasonably well paying professional or "skilled trade" job,
--in reasonably decent physical shape,
--with no criminal record, and
--you own a home of your own, even a modest one,

You WILL be desirable, as the women start realizing their partying days are over and they need a real guy as spouse material.

2. if you REALLY need to "dip your wick", Try an older "Cougar" divorcee, who wants to "get her groove back". She might just be the one to break you in. Your initial lack of what they call “game” in such a situation will be non-threatening, and therefore downright appealing, to an older divorcee. And by interactions of this nature, you will get "game". No, the relationship probably will not last, but it will be mutually beneficial at first. And then, by the time you are the age of the Cougars yourself, you may even be trawling for younger babes! Or you may have already found someone and settled in. Now how to do that is:

3. Try putting out a personals ad online. You can meet people from the privacy of your home, then call them up, then meet. If it does not work out, no bad repercussions, unlike school or work. Avoid public situations where asking them out leads to humiliation and failure. Avoid noisy dance clubs where you can't actually talk to them. Like me, I am betting you cannot dance without looking foolish, and slam dancing in the mosh pits does not count (am I revealing my age here? So be it).

4. As above, Pour yourself into school / work. Make more money and/or build up skills to make more money. Or if you find an academic interest that excites you, go for it. This is always good. See if you can accelerate your studies and graduate out of the academic madhouses sooner, or even bypass said madhouses altogether if you can find professional schools or trade schools of that nature.

5. Exercise. You are already doing this, but you say you have no results? Even if utterly non-sporting, it is good just to hike, bike, or lift weights. Don't compete against anyone--that will make you feel worse--just compete against yourself.

6. Look into antidepressant meds. They can really help in some cases.

No, sorry. And don't expect women to either. If she's gay she doesn't have to act straight when she's around you, just like you don't have to act gay around her. Just don't be around her if you don't like it.

[Curmudgeon]

The key word there is "If". It has become such a fad thst it is now hard to tell the truly same sex attracted from the legions of posers.

[snackthatsmilesback]

@Curmudgeon okay. Nobody had to act straight or gay around you. And you can act however you want. People usually act like whatever they are, but the only way to know is to get to know them and try your luck if they're interested. There you go, that's life.

Well, someone is insecure. 🤦‍♂️

[Asker]

Why is everything "you're insecure". Why is logic "insecure". Why is masculinity "insecure". Why is common sense "insecure".
