Search Results: rushed in

After all I'm 30. I left dating and scoring with women to way too late, blame design and life and all its ups, downs and so on. And the two years of Covid issues lol.
So anyways - if I just wanted to date a woman for like 1-2 years and she's like anywhere from 18 plus to 29 - I just feel like it's all so rushed and not worth it, especially if "the sleeping doesn't happen until 6 months to 12 months of dates endless dates and just blows all my money on food, shopping, holidays, lol" aka vacations.
Ah well sighs.
Shouldn't I just agree at 30, I'm better off remaining single. After all, that's why self pleasure exists for all genders

There are certain restrictions to what you can do, of course, and there are some things I would change about my childhood….. But ideally the only thing you have to worry about is playing and learning. It’s just a totally different mindset. It seems like there’s so much time ahead. I had a teacher who scale was three years younger than I am now and he once said “Don’t be in a rush to grow up. Being an adult sucks.” He was a very funny guy with a good sense of humor, but but I feel like he was kind of serious about that.

So, I am a second-generation immigrant from a very traditional and conservative country, now living in one of the most liberal Western countries in the world. I am very grateful to be living here as the quality of life and opportunities are just a lot better; however, needless to say, the cultural differences are immense.

One of the things that always bothered me growing up was this "rush" to lose your virginity, especially as a guy. My friends would drag me along to clubs and stuff, and I'm not a bad-looking guy by any means, and opportunities for me to have "one-night stands" have presented themselves, but I never really had any interest in this.

Call me corny, but the idea of being intimate with someone I do not have a very strong emotional connection with, someone who couldn't be my wife in the future, did not appeal to me.

Guys talk about this stuff, and I am open about this in my friend group as I don't feel like lying about it, but I find myself being the subject of "virgin" jokes quite often, especially considering my age (which isn't an abnormal thing in my home country).

Now, I know it's all in good fun and I know they have no malicious intent, but I can't help but wonder if this would be a problem for potential future mates. So my question to you girls is, if a guy you were dating in his mid to late twenties said he was a virgin, would you immediately associate that with negative attributes? Would this be a problem or perhaps not your first choice, would you be indifferent or heck even prefer it?
