In recent times virgins are what guys want for marriage but these days it is a different ball game. Are virgins still respected as they are in the time past? I need you opinion

I think being a virgin is still respected. Sure, there are circles where you may get made fun of for being a virgin. But in all honesty I think those who look down on virgins are a bit jealous that they didn't wait. the rest of us are completely content with losing our virginity, and know that, in time, the other virgins will too. But there's no rush! I don't think it matters or not in many people's eyes if someone is a virgin or not. Love is love. That's all there is to it.

i could not agree more!! virginity is still respected. and it is entirely an individual's personal choice and will to be a virgin. i don't see how should others be affected.

I think it depends on what your own stand points are. A lot of people now find it hard to believe that young people at the age of 18 are still virgins because they think they should had lost it before their 18th birthday. Some people may really commend virgins on it, but I've found that a lot of younger people really don't care for that aspect. They'd rather have someone that's experienced it.

In my country, yes. They're even given more attention than more attractive but "experienced" ladies. There's something about virgin women, they know when it's the right time, they control their urge to do it and they know which are the more important things in life worth doing first. The girl I courted before was a virgin but due to her many relationships my friends see her now as "damaged goods." She allowed guys to use her until she was all broken up about it. She would constantly cry about it. As much as possible I don't want to give pity to people, I want to help them but how? It was her decision, it's her consequence. The bad part about it was that when I was courting her and when we almost became a couple she kept on telling me how important virginity is to her and that I should value it to. Well, that's the only advice I listened to coming from her.
