I’ve been thinking one of the reasons why I’ve had so much trouble attracting women is that I don’t drink at all. I have thought maybe I should start being a social drinker at bars, but not obviously drink heavily.
Would this make me more attractive to women? I do go to a bar around 45 minutes away every so often but when I go, I never drink. Maybe I should start drinking socially, and realize there is some benefit to it if it makes me more appealing
Either drink or join a religion where it's forbidden.
More seriously:
It's a bit of a loaded question, but here's the thing:
Think of attraction both platonic and romantic as less of a binary pass/fail state and more a series of positive and negative multipliers.
You need to tailor your lifestyle to the situation you find yourself in such as physical traits (face, ethnicity, height, voice), career/study, social environment etc.
What I found is that where many virgins fail isn't any one thing (regardless of what people who only post here to take potshots at the less fortunate say) but a combination of factors that don't amount to a net positive for them and their respective circumstances.
I've met a L-O-T of abstinent guys who had zero issues with relationships, but their circumstances (natural extroverts, career that's not a pussy repellent, social network via church, like/play popular music etc) made it non-issue.
Conversely I can't count the number of times someone already fairly isolated also refused to take steps to socialize more easily, and not drinking is a part of that.
In short: Give it a try. There's no binary one size fits all solution but it may be one step towards improving the odds.
