My sister threatened me this morning.
I asked something along the lines of this question once before but it was removed for offending some degenerate, I think.
What I ask here then might offend a few people or fan the flame to your insecurities. Whatever the case, you aren't obligated to read it.
Call this insecurity or what you will (or maybe more than one insecurity here), but I simply can't see women as something either than virgins or whores, or ultimately, on a subconscious level, in other words as objects. I know this is puritan thinking and doesn't agree with our 100+ sexual partners before marriage "ideals" (in fact, I might get stoned by a few radical degenerates on here for even thinking such a way in 2010), but I just can't help but put the pieces together. All evidence is pointing in the direction that women who have sex before marriage are whores. For instance 3/4 of divorces are initiated by women, at least in this country (could be more in Europe, I don't know nor do I really care) while I'd venture to guess about that many marriages are initiated by those same women. 95% of Americans also aren't virgins when they marry, and <5% of marriages actually last a "lifetime" -- I found elsewhere. (Feel free to ask where I got any of these statistics). Maybe its just me making these connections, but I don't think so. I'm starting to see why rape and violence against women is justified, why men can't and won't commit and stay faithful, and why women will just be used and tossed aside. What's our incentive after all? The typical female has probably shagged everything in her dorm and what we get is unsafe to call leftovers anymore. They are unfaithful as moving from guy to guy (boyfriend to boyfriend) e.g their "testing a car before driving it"-backwards logic says and can't keep their legs closed no matter what.
It's like the most difficult girl to get is the one that's married and will actually cost a $20 nowadays, and it's so disheartening because I put a lot of my trust in women before knowing these things from having actually seen and heard them, and because I also wanted to "save myself for marriage." However, since knowing these things, I have debated whether or not there is a point, or in other words whether or not there is any hope whatsoever in finding a girl with good values. For now, I've classified all American women simply as trailer trash and it's led me to anxious OCD-like thinking because I know there is about a handful of good girls here somewhere, and now I'm wondering whether or not I should sleep around like my male friends do and take "advantage" of the "benefits" of 2010 -- an entire world full of women that can't keep their legs closed no matter how much you pay them.
Ho hum, and here is one other thing to think about: the men last time I asked this question pretty much all agreed with me, whereas the women all disagreed when I asked whether or not it's worth it saving yourself to marriage, and whether or not my argument is even remotely valid given the evidence presented. I mean, cut me some bloody slack here. I'm a very attractive male (as some women say) whose had American women (e.g trash) leap all over me, yet I've still turned them down and remained a virgin, whereas my friends have slept with every one of them. I mean, what's the deal here? Women you blame men for treating you how they do, and why rape is such a common occurrence in 2010? And why you can't get a single guy to stay faithful to you? Well there's you're bloody answer -- you bring it on yourselves for being so easy and not being able to keep your legs closed.
Ugh, apparently this is all insecurity but is there any way out of this kind of thinking? There is so much overwhelming evidence in favour versus against that it doesn't seem like there is any other option no matter how much I think about it. Help please.
Frinn, keep your "liberated," disgusting, vile, disease-ridden feminist trash. I want something else.
But thanks for your opinion. I don't know what this is (maybe a really fragile male ego) but other people's opinions are really helping.

Your opinion has been expressed and dully noted..However as a mother to two virgin daughters with great morals,character and optimistic positive personalities and attitudes, I seriously wouldn't allow a man as angry and bitter as you any where near them..you have serious trust issues that you will use to abuse a virginal wife that doesn't deserve it...You know why you haven't met girls like my daughters? Birds of a feather flock together and you hang out with what you consider to be trashy woman..try getting involved in more positive activities with better people..I think church would do you good..you would learn about judging people so harshly..
You know what you want.that's a start now work on being someone worth having.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-17/top-earners-averaged-345-million-in-2007-irs-says-update1-.html
From the linked article:
Each household in the top 400 of earners paid an average tax rate of 16.6 percent, the lowest since the agency began tracking the data in 1992, the statistics show. Their average effective tax rate was about half the 29.4 percent in 1993, the first year of President Bill Clinton’s administration, when taxes were increased.
The statistics underscore “two long-term trends: that income at the very top has exploded and their taxes have been cut dramatically,” said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington research group that supports increasing taxes on high-income individuals.
These folks paid about $60million in taxes..............
What on earth can a households spend $285 million a year on?
As for me, when times are bad for my fellow countrymen, and at a pinch, I can live on a million bucks a month.
Take the rest and pay the bills.
You?
How much do you need to live very well?
And sleep well at night?

That amount is much more than I would need to live on. I would settle for a million, which would still be way over my standard oorganizationsd pay the rest in taxes or to progressive organisations and charities. The only thing I would refuse to pay taxes or give any money to is war and armaments
My sister just recently died of SIDS about 6 months ago, and it has really been devastating for me and my family. I am doing a statistics report for school on babies who have passed away due to SIDS, I really want to hopefully use this project to answer some questions I have and to raise awareness on some risk factors of SIDS. I know this is hard to ask of people who has lost thier most precious loved one, but I just have a few survey questions:
1. Day of birth
2. Day passed away
3. Weight at birth
4. Mother's age when baby was born
5. Gender
6. Race/Nationality (Just main one)
7. Was baby put to sleep on his/her stomache, back, or side?
8. Does or did anyone smoke tobacco in the home after baby was born?
Here is my answer to those questions
1. March 19, 2010
2. September 4, 2010
3. 7 lbs 8 oz
4. 39
5. Female
6. Asian
7. Back
8. Yes
Thank you so much for your guys answers.

i should note this was a friends child, he was born with a hole in his heart and also a cleft plait, which he had surgery on when he was a few weeks old. corner ruled it SIDS.
I'm really confused and on the verge of making a very huge decision in my life and need all the advice possible. This isn't an attempt at trolling, so if you take it as one, get the hell out of here!
While I was sitting here thinking about why I'm waiting until marriage to have sex, I realised that I'm not sure if marriage is really what I want after witnessing so much negativity both here and in real life by particularly women (who are thought to be more chaste --- yeah right!) in regards to my decision. I wanted a girl with the same values, but it doesn't look reasonable that any exist. They want to sleep around and take advantage of as many guys as they can is what it looks like, and then settle down and hope they won't be cheated on/abused/outright abandoned/etc (good luck with that one, ladies!) So I've pretty much said f*** you to marriage entirely. The only thing I really want out of it now after witnessing all of this, has seemingly become just to have sex. I have lost all hope and also my respect for women, and now I think of them as merely objects and that it's better to just take advantage of as many of them as I can. I had so many opportunities but something always stopped me. And what worries me is everything is telling me to do it, to take advantage of those opportunities, but some small voice inside of me, despite the overwhelming negativity that I have witnessed, is telling me to hold on for something better and I just don't know why. It's driving me up the wall.
Statistics, logic, rationality, and my emotions are screaming at the top of their lungs to take advantage of as many women as possible and never settle down, and become just like the other males in society. But for some reason I don't want to become like the rest of them, though I also find absolutely no incentive for me to wait any more. All of the attractive women are long since not virgins and that's what I really wanted...to find a girl as attractive, successful and physically fit as I am with an excellent personality, and settle down. Now I just KNOW (not believe) that such don't exist nowadays and probably never have. All I ever wanted besides having a successful career, was a happy marriage, children and a faithful wife. But it doesn't seem like I'm allowed that now am I? Church girls, for the few that are attractive, are incredibly easy while non-religious girls or girls of other religions are just as easy, but lack any sense of conscience it seems.
I don't want to settle down with some used up trash (and hopefully if she exists, she views me the same way in this case as insecure as this may seem) -- which is the only other alternative. I also don't want to end up living alone because of this (so in other words, it's a 'Bachelor's life' for me), so I am thinking, possibly irrationally do to all of this overwhelming info that's causing some severe self-doubt it me, that it's better to go with option one and just sleep around like everyone else but on the other hand not marry so I don't have to share my income with some vile b**** that will use me and leave (which is all too common in 2010).
So I really need some help. I am between a rock and some really hard place, and it feels like the temperature here is only getting hotter. I need all the help I can get, especially SPIRITUAL help.
I've furthermore seen a few males relate to me already, so it appears as if there are a lot of us that are thinking this way. No females though. Maybe more can relate or provide some kind of certainty? Because this tremendous doubt is eating me alive, just as it is getting to them.

Continually remind yourself that your goal is to get married and the fact that you think to wait till marriage indicates that you have some belief &/or understanding of God
I say continue in faith, save yourself and wait till you find that girl that you and her have good relationship,great romance, and want to be commited to. Having made the mistake your considering, trust me when I say sex is overrated.
Pray about it, ask God to guide you and lead to a good godly girl that you can be commited to and she to you. Sure people sleep around, but many of those same people have diseases they'll have to live with for most if not the rest of their life.
So wait on God(part of waiting on God includes continuing to pray), wait for a good woman that can be your wife, and wait till marriage before having sexual intercourse.

- Miss Awesome, bah you're defining more problems for me. Let's not go there. I don't want to play that counting/who's better/who was better/insecurity game. That's like telling me she's already cheated and ran off with the guy. Forget it. Apparently, I'm too judgmental for that.
Mr. Fix it, you ever consider a society based on YOUR view is what caused the 80% sexual incompatibility? I agreed up until that point with what you wrote, until you presented that flaunty bit of 'logic'. That would also mean sex doesn't mean a thing to any of you, it's just something to do to kill time, or for fun -- whatever you define it as. Sorry, but no. Maybe it is in your world, but to me it still means something.

i'm just going to be blunt buddy.
your view on women is disgusting,while some women are dirty trashed up who*res, not all of us are, you are far too judgemental.
waiting to be married before having sex/making love, whichever you rather call it, that night, is so damn special there are no words to describe it.
there ARE women out there that are virgins and will wait until they are married before having sex.
Just because you have not found these girls don't mean they aren't out there.
are the not so attractive girls not good enough for you? open your eyes abit buddy, they have qualities and you will never see them because they aren't attractive enough. While you do need to be attracted to the person your with, they don't have to be some capital barbie.
another thing, okay a girl is not a virgin (slept with 1 man) but is everything you want, are you going to reject her just because she isn't a virgin? and women who are not virgins, can still be faithful to their husbands.
open your eyes abit more to the world....stop being so damn judgemental.
