I think that there is a huge misconception when it comes to this topic because of porn and there are more (quantity) guys getting what they can from girls who are more willing/open to have sex. I can say with 100% certainty that no quality guys would be turned off by that. If anything, they'd be flattered and think you have self-control and respect. They might be turned off by a high count because they wouldn't want to just be another guy to a girl especially if we're talking about being in a relationship.
If you believe your virginity is affecting attraction, you're either misreading cues or the guys around you are of lower quality. It is possible that they think you're of too high quality and they want to bring you down to their level. Ask yourself this: Do you want to be with one of those chumps? Why? If it's just cuz he looks cute then you have to have higher standards for other traits. If you absolutely need more guys to be attracted to you, go to a big city. Does that really matter though if you can attract one amazing partner? I don't think so.
I wouldn't worry too much about others and work on yourself because there is always room to improve. Guys will notice if you care about yourself and recognize that you care about yourself and you're humble enough to work hard. Feel free to at least hint that you're interested in someone if you're shy. Whatever you do, don't settle for a low quality person. Patience is key and patience is not the same as laziness. Have a nice day 🙂00 Reply

+1 yI don't think that is uncommon and I don't think it would be a problem for most guys. Probably quite a few would think it's a good thing in fact and would be happy to help teach you (or to learn together with you if they're also virgins which could be the case). When I was in that age range, it would have been just fine with me if a woman I was interested in was a virgin.
My opinion is that you should not worry about it. When you find a decent guy that you're attracted to and that's attracted to you, I'm sure it will be fine. And honestly, if a guy rejects you just for that reason, that's likely a sign that he's not right for you anyway. If your sexual experience is more important to him than all of the other good things about you that you bring to a relationship, then I think his focus is on the wrong thing and he probably wouldn't be someone you'd be happy with anyway.00 Reply
She is a virgin for a reason. Guys who thinks that it's a turn off are basically the ones who are into something casual, obviously a woman who is experienced on bed are generally "fun" . A man who wants to be with you on a long term, would cherish that you waited for him and understand the true value of your chastity.

677 opinions shared on Dating topic. It wasn’t until I dated 20+ virgins. Something has been “off” with every virgin I dated who was in her 20’s. They’re things I didn’t pick up on until I got to know them. These girls typically haven’t dated a lot, maybe has had one or two boyfriends and little to no experience.
I’m not trolling. In my experience there has been a reason why these girls were virgins. Not a personal choice reason either. It’s the kind of reasons that make you go “No wonder she hasn’t had a lot of boyfriends.”
Religion is the biggest one but there’s more. Sometimes they have extremely weird or strict perceptions about sex and intimacy, they don’t like sex/intimacy or have a personality glitch that drives men away before they can think of having sex with her. Dating a virgin sounds fun at first because you get these fantasies of “teaching her” and stuff but the reality is she’s 20+ and there’s probably a not so sexy reason why she’s still a virgin.00 Reply
+1 ywhile i don't think it's a turn off to date a virgin in her mid twenties, I probably would not date a woman that told me she saves it for the right person.
If she has not found "the right person" at that time, her expectations are probably way over the top, and there is a big chance the first real relationship will fail.13 Reply- +1 y
Not necessarily... I for example unfortunately have not found 'the right person' as yet. :'( It's not because of my expectations... My expections are that they are a guy and is nice. That's all. I just can't get a guy to talk to me... that's all :( And when I try talking to them they are more concerned with their phone or just ignore me... :/
There is a possibility that a girl can't even get a guy to speak to her even at that age. - +1 y
@PrincessKittyAZN I don't really know how dating works in hong kong, but if you have online dating platforms, you might give one of those a chance.
if you wan't to try this, google for do's and don'ts of dating profiles.
some platforms might be free for women, but make sure they have monthly fees, not pay per answer for your counterpart!
if you find someone you want to meet in real life, do it in a public place with people (if that is even possible in the current situation), and don't wait forever. - +1 y
Oh no... I don't live in Hong Kong... :/ I don't know why it switched to that on my profile... I live in Trinidad and Tobago. And in my country it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to meet someone on a dating site withinn my own country. Peole don't actually do that here...
2.3K opinions shared on Dating topic. I applaud you having high standards. But I'd wonder why she wants to date... just to have someone to give her attention while she's actually looking for another guy to give herself to? Not a good relationship starter. I'd be way more impressed if you said you didn't date any guys at all but you wanted to be platonic friends till you click with the right person.

+1 yIts fine if it's your life decision not to. When I was in my twenties and single I did meet a few and passed on even asking them out. Its a long and winding road for a guy in his twenties to go voluntarily without for a year or two while she decides of you are the right one or not. And if not? Just wasted a couple of your prime years in the frustration zone. So to answer your question Yes. I would look elsewhere.
00 ReplyNo, but if she was putting off sex with me not for lack of attraction but saving her virginity as some ethereal thing that matters. That is a turn off for me.

It’s not like she’s some unattractive loser that can’t get a guy to fuck her, any girl can
It’s only unattractive when a guy is still a virgin because it’s says that no girls ever wanted to do it with him and that he’s probably an unattractive loser which is why no girls wanted to fuck him10 ReplyNah, more like a blessing for most guys.
Guys seem to have harder time if they haven't lost theirs at twenties or even worse when later.
Never seen the downsides with that, for either gender, more of other apsects that might affect the reason.

Chosing to date a person has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with developing a relationship and see where it goes. With the right person you may not wait for marriage to have sex but then again you might. There is no right or wrong answer, only what you choose for yourself.

I'm willing to look 3 years older than my age unless she's super hot then 4, but statistically it's more likely a woman younger than me will be a virgin. My age range is generally +3 or - 3 so women 19 - 25. For any reason other than God, I couldn't date, but if she keeps out of devotion to Christ then her age is irrelevant as long is it is within range.

""a lot you're missing out on". Like pregnancy? Changing diapers? Paying for childcare while at work?"
Because you've never had great sex. So you have no idea how amazing it is. It takes years of experience to be skilled and good at sex. The most experienced you are, the better the sex will be. Sex will just be about pregnancy, daycare costs if you've never had it. - +1 y
@Jamie05rhs "The longer you wait the better.". I personally disagree with you, sir. I think it's a bell curve that tops out at around age 20."
Male sexual performance starts declining around the age of 40. For females, sex drives tends to go up in 40s. But if you're 40 and still inexperienced, the sex still won't be amazing. It takes a bit of skill and experience to know how to have amazing sex. - +1 y

All the other points that you made are extremely valid and I wouldn't try to take away from not only your viewpoints but your experience I do understand where you're coming from. I guess the only point I was trying to make was I think on this life each year that passes we are learn more about relationships even sexuality, so I just personally think waiting can be a bad thing. I mean within reason I don't believe you should wait till your 40 years old. Then you wouldn't be combat compatible with very many people. So yes everything you said has a valid viewpoint.
