Do Women like Virgins? Opinions from 100+ Women
We surveyed 140 women with this question:
"Would a man being a virgin impact your likelihood of dating him?
Here are their answers...
Per the results above, most women report a man being a virgin doesn't significantly impact the likelihood of a relationship.
While a total of 22.86% said it did impact their decision, only 6.43% said it was a major factor.
So, most women don't really care.
Hopefully, this provides you some comfort if it causes you worry.
If you're worried about age, we specifically addressed that in the survey. The average respondent was 24 years old.
It's certainly expected that an older demographic would lean more heavily to the "yes" column.
Virginity in Dating
In the end, it's not an issue worth worrying about.
Some men may want to hide this fact with a girl they're seeing.
However, doing so could blow up in your face when it comes time to following through with losing it. It may be obvious that you've never had sex.
If anything, don't bring it up voluntarily, but still tell the truth if she asks.

Cultural Perspectives on Virginity
Societal views on virginity range from an emphasis on purity and moral standing to indicators of personal choice and sexual freedom.
Traditionally, many societies have placed a significant emphasis on virginity, especially for women, linking it to virtues such as purity, honor, and worth.
Evidence can be found in numerous historical texts and societal laws.
For instance, in Ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins were venerated priestesses required to remain celibate for 30 years under penalty of a brutal death.
Similarly, in Medieval Europe, virginity was idealized, often dictating a woman's marriage prospects and family honor.
Modern Attitudes
In some cultures, virginity before marriage remains a valued ideal, while in others, it's seen as a personal choice with less societal pressure attached.
Certain groups advocate for comprehensive sexual education and the destigmatization of sexual experiences, indicating a shift from traditional views.
Influence on Relationship Dynamics
For some women, a partner's virginity may be viewed as a sign of purity or a lack of sexual baggage, which can lead to a perception of greater trust and emotional intimacy.
Others might see it as a source of anxiety, reflecting a general lack of experience. This divergence in viewpoints may contribute to differing expectations and interactions within the relationship.
