Search Results: getting respect at work

I'm sure many women here have heard this time and time again, about whether being a virgin male would be a deal breaker, and just as many said it would all depend on the reason... so here's mine.

I grew up watching things Like Maury, Jerry Springier, Snapped Various Shows that show what happens when a relationship goes south from rushing in to quickly or being irresponsible about it.

My Parents relationship wasn't always the most... stable either, as my father was obsessed with bills and money and would always get frustrated when it comes to the topic more often then not. Which was made all the more apparent when he otherwise kept his cool.

Not to mention the constant reminder of Deadbeat dads that ran out on their families cause they could never pay child support.

And A large part of that had to do with women getting pregnant too young, or both men and women being particularly loose when it came to relationships.

So, as a young teen, I decided to put relationships on hold and focus on my studies, I wanted to make sure that i was a responsible, dependable and reliable young man who had his own bank and once he had a family could make sure his wife and children wanted for naught.

Now I feel like i wasted my time doing so, as my desire to be a person worthy of respect is met with whispered mocking due to my lack of experience, my age, and general light mocking.

So that's it, I willingly practiced celibacy to focus on school and getting work, and my reward for it is getting blindsided by societies double standards about when a man should get his cherry popped.

So Please be honest with me, would a man being a virgin still be a turn off knowing all this?
