I think men always wish to marry a virgin wife. But with this modernization,i doubt if there is still 50% virgin bride before their wedding. We hear many news are young 14 getting pregnant. So,the only remedy for a wishing groom to have virgin bride is to court a girl who ages 10 and waited till she turns into marrying age which is 18 in our country(hehehe) Have a wonderful weekend

I'm a complete virgin and i'm 21 year old... So, i always look for a virgin girl for my life.. I have already found a girl and she is my relative and we both are virgins.. I think, men should ask their girl friends before getting into relationship whether the girl is a virgin or not.. So, later he should not be embarassed if he finds the girl wasn't a virgin!!!

i also have a friend way back in college...he was laid back guy and he was indeed a virgin..his girlfriend who is also our classmate was also a virgin..and it's cute to see them both innocent together... we used to tease them..and this guy's principle is..he wants his first girlfriend to be his wife... maybe because he wants to preserve their virginity until marriage..that was cute for a guy and very rare... but in your situation.., if you plan to ask the girl first if she's a virgin or not...what if she decides to lie to you because she loves you and therefore cannot afford to lose you once you learned that she's not...how will you deal with that?

It's a tough question to answer!! anyway once a man and a girl are in true love, this virgin matter doesn't bother them, only the true love will fade away the virgin thing.. if the guy is not in true love with the girl , but if the girl is in true love and she had lied , the man will keep this thing in his heart throughout his life and he will remind that whenever they have any fights.. So lying is not a good thing..It should be avoided..

yup i know...that's why i asked you the question because my uncle was challenged by my auntie before with the same issue..well anyway.., i agree with you..if the girl really loves someone..she should be honest with this person at the very beginning of the relationship since lying will only bring conflicts and misunderstandings in the end... hope you'll find your ideal girl...;)

When you love the woman virginity doesn't matter but it's better to marry a woman who are untouched by any other man. Woman untouched or still virgin until the your first day in bed has a greater dignity. Men consider it as the preserve their best assets that they can give to their husband. I love marry virgin but if the one give me by our Almighty is not anymore virgin of course I will accept it. I am very much lucky because my wife is virgin on our first night.

i pretty much agree with you... some men becomes judgmental and thinks that women who were no longer virgin are undeserving to be taken seriously...for these girls didn't preserved something that should only be given to their future husband... we don't have the right to judge..these ladies are responsible for their actions and it depends on the man who falls inlove with them to accept them or not... i had some guy friends who said that their wives are not necessarily virgin but they respect ladies who preserved their innocence for their future husbands...and i admire those girls too... but what God has given us as partners in life..virgin or not..., is his best choice for us..God wants the best for us..=)

that's right..it would be good to marry a virgin but if you fell inlove with the opposite..that wouldn't be a problem..because love is all that matters...right?

why? What is wrong with NOT being a virgin anymore? Marrying someone who is not a virgin is definitely NOT a guarantee that she will be a good, loving wife and a good mother to your children. Our culture and religion dictate what is moral or not but no one has the right to judge a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding day. Whatever bad things happened in her past (to some, giving up your virginity outside of marriage is a bad thing), it will always be compensated (or aggravated) by what she does in the present and what she will be doing in the future. For me, virginity is not an issue, it's actually what you do for your husband, children, family, friends and the human race as a whole that matters.

so true, its on acceptance, preference is not so important, im a man but i would speak for ratios of unfair judgement, most people who fall in love or by accident cannot preserve their virginity and its unfair if this will be a predicament for them to be happy in the future. Some men wants a virgin wife but during their lifetime had divirginize some, so where the ratio now? I agree with you that what is important is Today...nothing else and how you view happiness in its simplest perspective..

I'm a woman from the Philippines too. I believed in giving myself to only one man, to preserve myself until I get married and give myself to the man I will choose to live with the rest of my life. I'm kinda conservative. But of course, You can't really tell what will happen when you end up being taken advantage of by a boyfriend who forced himself at you and there's nothing you can do, and just felt destroyed and humiliated after wards. I don't like to speak of this, but this is my personal experience, here in our culture, if a man forced himself on you, it's either rape or marriage. So, I just silently got away from him and not tell anybody, cause it won't do me any good at all or my future. I was very frightened that the boyfriend I trusted had done that to me. And I might get pregnant. But thank got I was ok. So, before I get in a relationship with my husband, I told him everything. And he was furious with that monster of a man. And I was prepared that if I told him and he don't want me because of that, I will be hurt but I will understand. There's no word to express in losing something that was so important to you, I may blame myself, I may blame the bad man. But what good would it do to my life? I just moved on. And it showed me that being a virgin is a gift to the man you really love. But if you are not a virgin anymore, you'll love more the man for accepting you for who you are and not for what you can give. God bless all.

yes..that's a common mentality here in the Philippines that women prefers to keep themselves untouched until they tie the knot with someone they have chosen to spend the rest of their lives with...but that was before...nowadays, women became more liberated..and has been influenced by various cultures... modesty is no longer a common scenario...but i was raised by my mother with great values and teachings...and i have chosen to remain modest and keep myself pure until the right man comes... and i'm very much happy and proud that my man respects and loves me more because of this... but for situations like yours.., a bad monster stole your supposedly precious gift to your husband... i salute to your husband for loving you despite of that horrible experience you had...=)

hi ruth... thank you..and i do agree with you... here in the Philippines.., some men still count virgins and they're proud of it... i've always inculcated the minds of my younger sisters..i have four... that they should take care of themselves and make sure that they will give themselves to only one.., the man who will they end up marrying...it's a tough decision but with prayers.., they will be guided by God and learn to resist temptation all around us...=)

Thanks both, It's good to stand for what you believe in. Others may believe differently but that's what life is. We can't all be feeling the same way or believe the same thing. And yes, my husband is the best man i'd ever met. He is a real good and gentle man. I love him very much and he feels the same way about me, and that's what matter the most. Isn't it? Keep it up guys. It's a good thing that you are keeping yourselves pure until you get married to the right person. Me, I'm happy now so I just have to forgive myself for what had happened to me, but as you know there are men in the philippines who counts virgins and they are proud of it...What a monstrosity is it. To feed on the naive and innocent girls!!!So, I give advice to my niece and other girls around me, not to just trust a guy and they have to take care of themselves....It is important.

I guess it depends on the man and what kind of education did he receive. I have never met any man who would say he wants to marry a virgin, and if it's not a virgin he won't marry that woman, but not all countries are so advanced, so in arcaic societies, that still exist in many countries, I'm sure there are many men like that. In my case, I don't mind my partner being a virgin or not.

Many men it seems still prefer their intended brides to be virgins, but more and more prefer women that are more experienced. Love making is not something that comes completely natural and people have to LEARN how to enjoy it more.

Well before,that's what we call Spanish time. Women can keep their virginity as long as they are unmarried yet. for them that was the great gift that they can offer to their future husband. Nowadays modesty are still in our culture but our country was already influence from foreign countries and also the technologies. Men nowadays doesn't matter if the girl they love was still virgin or not. That type of women were called easy to get or that's very negative comment.

Some of them wish to marry a virgin wife, but some prefer the women with s-xual experience, that are no longer virgins. Nowadays in some countries if you are not a virgin anymore, no man will want you, but in some countries, men cannot find a virgin woman to marry.

I am from the Philippines as well. To me, it does not really matter. As long as we share the bond of love, that is all I need. Practically speaking, I prefer women who have experienced lifes pleasures. Why, if she knows how to please herself, then he can please her man. Just plain and simple. Just my two cents.

I am a woman, who once had a virgin bf. Virginity was never been an issue to us. He never asked if I am still a virgin or not. He does not even consider "virgin" girls as a factor to be his wife. Here in the Philippines, the "virginity" of a girl is no longer a taboo. I am just wondering, if a guy asked me the question and breaks up with me because he wants to marry a virgin girl, I guess I would slap him in the face. Why? Because he will marry me not because he loves and accepts me.

I have always preferred women that were already sexually experienced. However, if I were in that market for a wife these days, I think I would prefer a younger woman who was still a virgin. Then again, now that I think about it, maybe I would go for an older woman with money?? Either way, I am already married, so I don't have to think about these things anymore...LOL

well i believe that's a special factor for all men to marry a virgin wife. Though I do think that it should not be a basis. Before demanding for a virgin wife you should consider yourself also. have you preserved your self for your wife to be? have you preserves other women for their husband to be before you "do" something with her? My husband is my first and I think that it's how the man initiate it to a virgin wife for her to like it or not for the subsequent events.. But I beleieve that any man would be happy to know that his girl/wife preserved herself for the right one, and that is his husband

Men will always want to marry a virgin wife. Why not? A virgin is better I guess. But nowadays, virgin or not virgin isn't that important anymore. If you can keep your virgin till marry, it is better than you are not able to. But if it happens that you are not virgin anymore, don't regret it. Because nothing is really important in that. What is important is the way you treat others, your behavior and your heart. Isn't is right? ^^

I am not a man but it does seem that some men who seek a virgin do respect her more in some ways. There are men who just don't care either way but those who want a wife and choose a virgin seem to have more respect for her in the long run. I just think that saving yourself for when you get married is better for the female. I have a daughter who I would like to drill into her head that it would be a better choice for her to make. I fell into what society was doing and I hear it all the time. I didn't save myself and I hear it all the time from my mom on how trampy I was. On the other hand my sister was with her kids dad when she was a virgin and it got her no where. He just liked to cheat. Still overall the blessing comes from God.
