Reading a book on love shyness. It was a study conducted on 500 men ages 18-50 who were heterosexual and virgins. They were classed as love shy because they had a great fear of approaching women and this played into their perpetual virginity. One interesting thing that the researcher found was that all of the love shy men were low status in same sex peer groups. They were typically disliked and disrespected by other men.
He compared them against men who were not love shy and not virgins. The non virgin men typically could fit in with their same sex peer group. And many of the non virgin men were looked up to and well respected by other men. But all of them could at least fit in and be respected by a same sex peer group.
On the other hand, this didn't hold true for women. A woman could be low status in a same sex peer group of other women but still be popular with men. But the researcher found ZERO cases of the opposite, a man who was low status among his male peer group but popular with women.
