But yeah it gets pretty bizzare when you get to 30 and older and you are still a virgin. People will think you have problems.
Im 28, and a virgin and people say im some sort of creep for being a virgin.

A lot of guys on the dating sites I'm on think I'm weird and lame for being a virgin this long and not many guys nowadays even believe in marriage. But I know I want to get married one day and know waiting will be worth it.
The problem isn't that you are a virgin. The problem is that you intend to stay a virgin until marriage. Sex is a normal, healthy, joyful part of adult relationships. When you say you want to wait until marriage, you send a clear signal to young, healthy men that you are sexually unavailable. Very, very few men are going to be okay with that.

While what you say is true that it will alienate a certain percentage of guys the conflicting values of her and the other party would not really work out so its a win win for both.

But the guys that won't give her a chance because of being a virgin probably aren't guys that she would have gotten along with anyway.
100% correct. I don't give VUMs a second look as far as dating but that would not stop me from being their friend or socializing with them.

I would not automatically say anyone saying they want to stay a virgin until marriage is a creep but the reason why is what sends up the red flag that they could be: Very Religous, afraid of the opposite sex, sexually confused, or even Mentally ill.

How many fit the above is beyond me but I'm sure a few posters fit the above profile.

Now that's just stupid and shallow to say. Good thing my husband doesn't think the same way you do. But then again my husband isn't like other guys.

I was a 40 yr old virgin when I married my husband. You know what he told me. Me being a virgin scares him more to sleep with me but not coz of those stupid and shallow reasons you mentioned above. He just wants my first to be the best and he's afraid he'll hurt me down there. So that's what he was scared about. So OP, don't sweat it you're still young.

My husband's ex wife was not a virgin he even knew she had several miscarriages from her former BFs and me being a virgin does not made him think I'm like that stupid and shallow reasons you mentioned above even for a sec. He instead said I have high morals.

By the way our only rest of sexy time is when I have my period. LOL.

How old are you? I haven't referred to my body parts by anything but their anatomically correct name since I was like 10 years old. Or said "sexy time" for that matter.

That child-like mindset give some insight.
