What's to be "taught" about dating? You go out, have fun and be yourself. Is there an instruction booklet that I haven't seen? I never saw it attached to any women I've dated.

But anyway, my answer is a definite no.

I don't know why this information would ever be disclosed in the first place?

If you guys claim to have a problem because of it... don't bring it up.

It can come up in a conversation at some point. There's no problem with being honest. Avoiding the question if it came up would be worse than just telling the truth, IMO.

I laughed when I read this earlier on. It sounds like the verbiage of a lady who "broke in" a virgin male at some point in her life.

No, because there are a million reasons why someone has 'lack of experience'. While not a Muslim I actually like the idea of finding a girl with similar 'lack of experience' to me, not because I only want a virgin, but there's a freshness, an innocence about it, that would probably better complement my own. On the flip side, an experienced woman could teach me things. But we all start off as novices, so there's nothing we can't learn further down the track. So no, unless there's a serious problem with her, I don't see it as a problem.

For me it just wouldn't even play into my consideration.. unless she wanted to remain a virgin til she was married.

But, here is the distinction...

There is a difference between something not being quite right about
a person and their lack of experience... even though that something
not quite right might be the reason for lack of experience.

There are plenty of folks out there that lack experience and are perfectly
fine in every other respect, but those folks are saddled with this perception
that there must be something wrong with them... which is not always true.

Considering I've only had a couple of relationships and both were very brief, it would be kind of strange for me to rule out a woman for being inexperienced. Actually, I'd prefer it.
