Default Please help - Brother is 30 something virgin

My brother and I were big nerds all our lives playing D&D and master of magic type games. His childhood was harder than mine and he became an escapist and dreamer - the kind of person who reads a book in a day or spends a lot of time playing skyrim. I always wanted to be socially accepted by the same and opposite sex. I got this by working on my social skills and lifting weights. My brother is still doing the same dumb s- he's been doing since he was 10 or 12 years old, playing dungeons and dragons style games and keeping to himself. I should say before I sound too judgey he's much better than me at keeping a job and having a career. I don't think i'm inherently "better" than him.

I need to know what I can do to help him. Please don't tell me to mind my own business, he's going to be a 40 year old virgin without intervention. I know that on this site there are some older virgins or people who lost their virginity at an older age. Is online dating going to be his best bet like the geek to geek site?

LOL, with that issue secured, he needs no improvement in social skills. Being able to support yourself is the only mandatory thing in life.
Friends & spouse are an option.

One thing is missing from your description: did he asked you to help him? Did he express being lonely? Or is he perfectly alright being a lone wolf?

Online dating might work, but advertising yourself as a geek rarely does. He doesn't necessarily need a geek girl.

You have your priorities. It's quite possible being accepted, having social skills or finding a girlfriend are not among his.

So unless your alleged brother specifically asks for help, bloody mind your own damn business.

Just on the very very slim offhand chance that this isn't a troll thread, I will say this - losing your virginity is not some magical key to social/personal enlightenment, and really, the only people who care about ridiculous stuff like this are people who haven't discovered this yet (i.e virgins.)

I'm annoyed I ended up replying to such a stupid thing. Also, stop being so interested in what your brother does with his penis, you sound weird.

Oh common, don't be so strict... He came to site where he naturally expected to find old virgins or people who were old virgins. He can't be troll in no way
