God how I disagree with you. Trust me, it is a huge red flag to women in their mid to upper 20s.

I have it more or less under control at the moment but I can lose it under very stressful circunstances, like a relationship.

No don't lie...but you don't have to relinquish that information like you think you do.

If they continue to pry just say you haven't met the right girl yet. My situation is like yours except I am 2 years younger than you and I'm a woman. Unfortunately I am not as lucky as you when it comes to people asking you about it. My family bugs me about it all the time.

It's not that big a deal.

Lie if it makes you feel better, but you don't have to. Male virginity is not uncommon. If you're honest maybe they'll help you get laid lol. Do whatever you want though. It's not a big deal either way. I'm 21 and never kissed a girl. It sucks but what can you do?

If she asks, then come clean, if it isn't brought up, then just play it cool. However, something like that is pretty tough to front, just remember, to never over react, play it cool, and you may get away with it. Learn on the fly

Sorry you've had that experience, Diss. You'd think some of the women you meet would admire the fact that you've made something of yourself. Especially women in grad school. I'm sure there are women out there, though, who would appreciate you for you. If a woman is interested in you (more than just superficially), she's not going to care that you've never had a gf. But YMMV, I guess.

Can't say I agree with this. Maybe a small population of women.. but certainly not the majority.

It's really no one's business - you can tell people just as much as you want. Tell them you're concentrating on school....isn't that true?

If you're going to eventually date (or have more friends) you need a tougher skin and maybe a bit of a "shell". There are MANY versions of the truth and you don't have to expose your belly to everyone who casually asks you. There are many reasons you do a certain thing - pick ONE that you feel comfortable sharing and leave it at that.

Tell the truth. If a woman holds that against you she's not worth it.

You can lie if you want if you think it will improve your chances with gals. However if you find yourself being lied to because it will improve her chances at getting what she wants from you I imagine you wouldn't take kindly to it.
