How Do Men Feel About Dating Virgins?Page 11 of 11    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
well to be honest, i lost my virginity about a couple of years back and at that time I was 29 myself. it sounds wiered here, but it is not that strange in other societies and it was not wiered in my society as well.
and by the way I have not dated a lady for past one and half years, despite being living here, so am feeling like a virgin man again
it is not like that I hate doing sex or any other problems, it was just the way I wanted to live and of course I am going to change it again now.
Coming to original question, although it is fact that it is very difficult to find a virgin here, and every body loses their in teenage, but still if some body says to me that she is virgin, I will not hesitate in beleiving her, as I know few very respectable young girls around me and I know that they are still virgins. Regarding a date I absolutly have no problem, dating a virgin.
cheers

If you are a man however, and still a virgin at the age of 30 like I am, you are seen as damaged goods and are the butt of jokes within society or your enclave of friends and family.

Only if you let that happen.

I'm 33 and I am not the butt of anyone's jokes, mainly because I don't treat my virginity like it's something to be ashamed of. I've had my chances here and there to lose it, but decided to wait because I didn't want to have sex with someone I wasn't in a serious relationship with.

Anyone who's been with ONE virgin has reservations about being with more. I still don't understand how suicide bombers look forward to 72 of them in heaven.

Big Shrek....

Become a Nun/Monk and say to heck with it.

I'm liking this option more and more these days... but then I remember I'm not Catholic ;)

Jay Dog...

I think that there is a double standard For women its kind of okay to be a virgin


To a degree, yeah... but even then I get a lot of flack for it. There's stigma around it for girls too. People look at you like you're damaged goods... or a prude... or a child... you stop being all the other things you are- a student, a friend, etc., and all you are is this one label in some people's minds, and it stinks.

I was in a relationship with a virgin. I had no problems with that and I cared for her very much however she'd frequently remind me how she wouldnt unless she felt it was right and loved that person which meant she never loved me and that broke my heart. It never mattered to me and I would have waited til we where geriatric, I loved being with her for her not for the sex but she didnt feel the same and felt our relationship wouldnt progress beyond really good friends. We broke up her decision. So thats how I generally feel about that.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you...

Different people have different ideas, and differing levels of maturity. If a girl is a virgin, all that tells me is that she hasn't had sex yet. The actual reasoning behind this will be different from girl to girl, and that is what it comes down to - understanding the girl in question...

There's nothing wrong with being a virgin, and I think you'll find most men wouldn't hold it against you - because there's nothing TO hold against you. Virginity isn't a sin.

From your comment it sounds to me as though they are bringing up the subject of sex before you're ready for it (the discussion I mean, not the act!). You see, having an open talk about sexual matters is an intimate act in and of itself, and requires either that the parties are very comfortable with one another, or that one of them is not taking it as seriously as they ought...

Respect for you, not so much for making the decision you have, but more for having the conviction to stick with it until a time of your own choosing...

Martin.

Mjmilan... I'm not sure about that. I have no qualms talking about sex- but as soon as they hear the v-word they bolt. Maybe they think my reasons aren't my own and that there's something wrong with me, or they could be scared that they won't get any... I haven't the faintest clue... few guys stick around if you tell them though...

I like it, cause I know where I stand with sex, and that she takes sex seriously. Its nothing that I require or prefer, but it does make the relationship easier which is always good for sharing and talking.

Why focus on just one aspect of a person? Aren't we all missing the point here? Isn't it more important that they're honest, loving (in other respects), and someone you want to spend time with?

Dating a virgin is nice because you know she's clean and you're going to be the first person to get at it, but it also makes you a bit wary - you may wonder if she's ever going to give it up. I'd be upfront up the latter. If you're waiting until marriage make sure your partner knows...otherwise I doubt it'll work.

In regards to your second question - every case is different and I can only really speak to girls in my range (18-22) but if
1) She's attractive
2) She's not religious
3) She's says she's a virgin
I give that statement about a 5% chance of being true.

Been there, done that...wont do it again hah. It really boils down to the people though. If you're ok with a virgin, or rather unexperienced yourself, I suppose it could be great. Personally, I don't like to have to train them just to get mediocre sex. =P

But, like I said, to each their own. Virgins are a HUGE turn on to a lot of guys.

To me it being a huge turn on is even more problematic than guys who get turned off by it- frankly that in itself is a major turnoff for me. It's guys who are indifferent to it that I respect the most.
