Many of the male virgins typically have very low self esteem and are always depressed about the fact that they are a virgin--that's why I find it a turn off. And it's not good to stay abstinent too long. I just don't see what's so great about waiting until you are almost 30 to finally have sex, I'd be resentful that it took me so long.
The male virgins, or suspected male virgins, I knew didn't have this problem. They might have been more religious than the norm. They may have been in college, waiting to get into law school. They didn't want to throw a wrench into their plans. They usually lost their virginity at 24 or 26...it doesn't matter...but, when they found a steady girlfriend around whom they began to plan things, they did the "deed."

If they have low self-esteem, it's because they compared themselves to those who were getting laid at 18. If they knew where they're going, then they didn't have a self-esteem problem. They just had principles.

I looked at your status and you have one that cites "applying makeup." What are your plans for the future?

You can't have sex and go to college at the same time? Plenty of adults do this all the time and their lives turn out fine. I just don't see the point in waiting until you are 24/26 which is just too old in my opinion.I know I wish I was having more sex

They aren't anymore moral or have better principles than those who are already doing it. They are just missing out on their best years being abstinent IMO In addition, nothing is guaranteed to you because you decided to wait forever to finally have sex. You can do everything right and still not be rewarded

If she's not interested before and then suddenly she's interested once you have money? Wow, I know that would put me off if I was a guy and as a woman it has put me off of even friends.
First of all, I think one of the best things a man can give to his wife, is his virginity. And, if he doesn't have a house, job, or benefits, he might get some dumb girl to lay up with him, but what can he offer a lady with her head on straight? If he has limited funds and lives with his parents, where is he going to take her to have sex; a park bench? Or maybe in the back seat of his moms Malibu? Because, he sure as hell isn't gonna disrespect his parents house. Question, if you had a daughter, wouldn't you want her to be with a guy who can take care of her, like a real man should? Or, would you prefer that she gets played by some dead beat scumbag, who she has to support? I don't see anything wrong with a young man who wants to finish school, get a career, and then focus on a companionship. First, people have a problem with women who pay all the bills and support their men. But now, your telling me you have a problem with a man who wants to support his wife. What gives?

You know what, it sounds like a half-way decent looking guy doesn't have to buy you a drink or a cup of coffee to get some action. Then, I'd say, "gents, just make sure you have a 'raincoat' ."

So, anyone who has had sex before 24 is promiscuous? That's quite a stretch to think that. I happen to think life is too short to wait that long.

That having been said, I haven't really dated enough to have ever been in "love," and I'm getting a little old to say that. I want to be with someone, but the dating process is such a hassle, I just don't feel the drive to start dating someone unless we really "click" before I even ask her out, which is a very rare occurrence. Like, why make the effort and jump thru all the hoops if it isn't a sure thing, if there really isn't anything there? Perhaps I simply don't have enough patience to give myself proper time to develop feelings for a girl. I also am very bad at hurting others, I don't like to risk hurting a girl by dating her, not developing stronger feelings for her, and dumping her.

I'm not the kind of guy who will check out a beautiful girl, hit on her, and then try to "get laid," (unless I'm drunk which doesn't happen too much)

Well, it is rare. All that does is guarantee you haven't gotten anyone pregnant or have any STDs. There might be some women that might question your sexuality but you don't have any time for those neurotic types anyway. Keep your backbone and your principles. Contrary to popular belief, it makes you a stronger man. Any woman worth having will see that as a strong character trait. On a shallow note, it might also make them want you more since a lot of women only want what they can't have, and would love the power of having been your first.

You make some very strong points. I personally don't know anyone in my circle of friends who would have wanted to be party to an abortion stemming from recreational sex. And those who don't wear condoms are essentially relying on the woman "to take care of it." How would one know they are not being lied to?

Oh, you ain't gettin' it in? Why not? Are you gay? I'm just clownin', baby. You ain't even gotta respond to that. Besides, if you look anything like you said you do, (i.e. caramel coated complexion and long beautiful hair), I'm sure the only thing stoppin' you is air and opportunity.
