PLEASE READ

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?

Hello!

I've noticed a lot of males on dating apps (especially Bumble and Badoo), even when I've filtered for women. So, I guess it's an identity matter. For me, it's fine; they can identify themselves however they want.

However, I'm looking for cis-women, not trans women. I don't want to get intimate only to discover genitals I'm not attracted to.

Today, dating apps don't seem to address these gender issues. And in the future, in my opinion, they could either go overboard with all gender definitions or just skip assigning gender altogether.

So my question:
Would it be considered discrimination if I stated, "I'm only looking for cis-females" in my bio?

Is it similar to saying, "I'm only looking for Western, white-skinned females" or "I'm only looking for dark brown-skinned females"? What do you think?
