How and when should you bring up the fact you won't sleep with a man until you two are in an exclusive relationship?
Men, how would you respond to such a statement? (please state your age range in your response I.e. 20s, 30 s, etc).
Is waiting for exclusiveness a crazy or outdated concept in todays age? Would a woman have a harder time getting follow-on dates once she made this known?

I am 36 and male, and I am waiting for a meaningful relationship before losing my virginity.
FWB is acceptable as long as the F part is true, that is to say, we have been very close friends for years or at least months. In fact, I would prefer that, as I don't feel comfortable with traditional dating, and want to start out as friends.
Like with Wesley and Buttercup in Princess Bride, that's what I would want to happen, I think that's romantic and desirable. Unfortunately, women don't want that, with me. If I'm their platonic friend for a long time and they find out I have feelings, they either just want to be friends or they don't want any more contact from me.

Or with the main female protagonist and the other character she was with in the movie Divergent (I haven't read the book), that would be another example. Start out as friends, never go out on a formal date, and occasionally the close friendship is expressed through sex.
I'm 31. Certainly, a reasonable requirement from my perspective. Actually, such a statement would make you more attractive in my eyes. Shows you have standards.

I tend to agree, in cases where your goal is a long term relationship with the person.
