A girls desirability peaks between ages 18 to 22. However, there is not much drop off until after age 25. Therefore, you options are still excellent. However, you shouldn't wait much longer because after age 25 the rate at which your desirability decreases will become increasingly more rapid. By age 28, you will have lost your bloom and guys you rejected at age 20 will no longer want you.
You standards should be realistic. A recent survey demonstrated that most women (likely that includes you) believe 80% of men are below average.

Don't wait until you are 28 and then look around and ask, "Where have all the good men gone?" because they are still there but you will no longer be the highly desirable girl you were at age 20. And you are still almost as desirable at age 25 because although you lose a little in looks from 20 to 25, you gain almost as much in wisdom and experience.
Go to any club or social event where young people go to meet and just watch. It will be be obvious that the 30 year old women cannot even come close to competing with those age 21 or younger.

Lol you're only 25. I have friends pushing 28, 30 etc. and still not getting married cause they haven't found a person to their liking. Not meeting the right guy yet is not an excuse. It's a valid reason. Jumping in without weighing your options properly would lead to disappointment in the long run so I'd say you're actually being wise. If you don't meet the one you like today, you will tomorrow😊
Nope, I really respect that. Itâs better than getting married really early due to being infatuated with having sex for the first time.
No girl, many women waits and even longer years. My sister recently got engaged and she's 38 and still a virgin.

Guys won't care about your age, but in honesty they will care if you look truly old. Everyone is unqiue as to when they "look old" some people get into their late 40's still looking young.
You certainly have not waited too long, of that I can assure you, but, there's definitely lots of reasons to find someone when your younger than older especially if you want children (but there's not really any biological pressures on that front till your 40's).
Anyway, in answer, no you certainly haven't waited too long. The only important factor is finding that someone you trust and feel inclined to love for the rest of your life. Taking is slowly is important, but you can always have a longer engadement (most men won't object to time to figure it out).
One thing I will say, if you have a guy who simply adores and loves you and its clear, don't mess them about. I think guys can be more dedicated that girls but they are often easily discouraged. Where as in my general observation, girls are more cautious about their feelings and get more deeply in love due to exposure. The trick is, to make sure you meet in the middle, meaning you get more certain before he gets convinced prehaps his feelings aren't in the right place.You're good for now, but you need kind of buckle down and figure out what kind of guy you want and how to find him and how to woo him.
You ain't gonna stay young and pretty forever and anybody who tells you different is a fool. If you ever want to have kids, time is very much a factor. Women have already lost 90% of their eggs by age 30, you're already well below half.
And if you're holding out for the perfect man to come along and fall in love with you, you'd better make sure you're the perfect woman. If you're not, it might be time for a reality check.
Lots of women never get married and go crazy because they "never met the right guy." If you think God or the Universe won't let you make such a mistake, well, good luck. If you can't meet any good guys, there's no two ways about it, you'd better start putting yourself out there more and meeting more people. Prince Charming isn't going to come floating through your bedroom window if you wait long enough.
Sitting back and passively waiting is a bad strategy. You have time, but time waits for no one.I have gone out with a few girls who made it immediately clear on the first date that they were virgins and saving themselves for their wedding night.
Within two more dates, we are having sex.
One saving virgin in particular was really funny. On our second date, we had sex and when she was on top of me and was saying how it felt better than she imagined or something like that, I asked "I thought you were saving yourself for your wedding night?" She said, "Oh, forget it."
Unless you are in an Islamic country (although two of those saving virgins were Moslems in majority Moslem countries), the idea that you are "saving yourself" is a red flag. You wouldn't buy a car without driving it first. Sex is a major part of a relationship, and it works differently with different people, no matter how much you think you might like someone. You need to drive before you buy.
There was a serious study done of US sexual experience. Only about 2% of women in the US are virgin brides. But the average age of a virgin marriage is 19, compared to 27 for average as a whole. These girls are not waiting to have sex, they are just getting married earlier. But there is also a strong correlation between divorce and age. Women who get married at 21 and under have a very high divorce rate compared to those that get married at 27 and up.
The other part of that study is that statistically, a woman who hasn't had sex by age 26, never will. The percent of women who never have sex is within the margin of error of those who have never had sex at age 26. This would vary by culture of course.
There is no way I would continue dating a woman who would not have sex. There are plenty of sweet, smart, pretty women who will, so you would be a waste of time. No one is worth waiting for because there is always someone better.Not at all. 25-28 is about *the* age for marriage and serious dating in my opinion. Can still have a serious relationship years prior or later than that, anyways I'm gettin off topic...
Way I see it is, if a girl hasn't dated much and is still a virgin at 25, she's possibly prime marriage material. Instead of wasting time on going from guy to guy, dick to dick trying to "find yourself," as many women will say; you put time into the things that really matter, and have made you a more integral stronger person.I would caution you in not placing too much emphasis on the 'purity culture' because you might be expecting something that doesn't exist.
I'm all for not jumping in bed with the first guy that shows you affection. But, don't have an unrealistic view that that one guy you have waited for will actually live up to your expectation to have the same point of view and marry you.Being a virgin at 25 isn't bad at all, it means you have a strong power of "self-preservation". And i think that you should start to wander out of the waiting room and make move towards the right guys.
yeah i personally think so. sex doesn't get better the longer you wait for it. at some point your expectaions will be so high, that the real deal can't live up for it. also i think most men don't see the value that you seem to associate with virginity... those guys that prefer it are usually creepy weirdos or religious extremists... but well you gotta know what you're looking for. trust me i know that from having waited even longer than you.
Good for you ! And of course not you have a lifetime ahead of yourself to settle down once you know in your heart this is the person I want to spend the rest of your life with then and only then you will have the right answer and right time to say ok I now have a partner to spend a lifetime with. Make sure his little incronisities don't bother you before you make the final decision because if the bother you even a little now they will worsen as time goes on. Trust me I know. Lol
You're doing the right thing. You are decent and wish to preserve yourself until you know that you are in that special commitment. You won't regret it once you get married. I know for a fact I always look forward to that day no matter how long it may take.
You're good for waiting, I respect that! I wanna wait too, until marriage. You made a good choice because pre-martial sex comes with regret for some people
Makes sense that you haven't found the right guy. It's hard. Do you want kids? If you do, do you want to give birth or are you more open to adoption. You still have about 15 years though before it's too hard to give birth. Don't lower your standards just to get a husband.
It is better to wait until you find someone that you are compatible with, but try to realize many good guys refuse to get married anymore.
You shouldn't marry someone you don't like. If you want to get married, be proactive in your search, understand whats really important to you, compromise
This is a simple answer. You haven't meet a guy you really really love so no you haven't waited too long.
No don't feel bad that's amazing. Mad respects. It shows you respect yourself and know what is right. I would travel around just to find someone like you. You're truly a great influence. You doing great.
Hey that can freak men out, your expecting a lot to wait for marriage, you would freak me out, thats major commitment too soon. Dont scare them off!
No. You should never settle. Iâm 25 and still a virgin too. The man thatâs right for you will accept you. Donât give up! Youâre doing the right thing.
no not at all, thats still really young and you got like 10 more years till its too late lol
Net necessarily. Thing is your values versus your culture might be at odd making finding that 'one' problematic. Regardless, there is nothing wrong nor is it a red flag. Carry on.
Sweetheart, youâve met plenty of âright guysâ. You bitch shielded and rejected them and now youâre at the age where your looks are starting to fade. Twenty five is too freakin old to be single and no decent guy with any options is going to choose you over someone younger. Good for you for staying a Virgin but realistically, yes you did wait to long. If by some chance you do get married it will be to a man of lesser quality than the ones you rejected. Good men only want young, pretty girls
