    I don't care about the being loved, but the lack of sex means you don't want to experience new things, which I do not consider a positive trait (though I believe you're supposed to respect everyone...)
    What if you want to experience sex, but can't because you're too ugly to?

    Not everyone who doesn't have sex is due to a conscious choice. Sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to.

    Having sex is more complicated than 'I'm too ugly'. If you're an ugly guy, befriend an ugly girl and slowly get into her pants

    I wouldn't judge them but I'd feel really sorry for them. Sex is a great thing and they're missing out on so much.

    Surely if your only choice is being with an ugly woman, then you would end up like the OP?

    What's the point of dating someone you don't like the look of? It's bad news for both of you.

    And without sounding crude, have you not heard of masturbation?

    well I certainly wouldn't recommend it, but I wouldn't disrespect them for it. I would feel sorry for them though

    Its literally non of my business why they have or havent had sex or been loved everybody is entitled mto their own ideas and views. They may have reasons why they havent and its not m place at all to judge thats very very shallow if you do.

    I dont drink and thats like people saying to me 'Well you dnt drink you must be boring i wont go clubbing with you '

    I very much doubt anyone here fits the mould, but I generally wanted some kind of consensus

    Would you respect a 30yr old woman who has never been loved?

    Would you respect a 45yr old man who has never had sex?
    dude, what does sex have to do with respect? Thats the most laughable thing I've heard, well its normal if you;re lik 15

    That was my first thought.

    To answer the question posed: No. My opinion of someone is not based on whether they've had sex/experienced love.
    Who is the guy in your sig? He is gorgeous.

    How much sex someone's had does not affect my respect for them.

    It's how they go about it.

    Besides, let people be themselves. If you're getting worked up over someone being a virgin, then you're the one with the problem.

    Back in high school I got a yearbook prize for "most likely to end up a 40 year old virgin". They said it because I never put out at school. I never gave in to the pressure. It shows how ridiculous they were though. Someone in a similar situation would get a lot of respect from me. If you're having sex because of being pressured but not because you want to, then you're not really respecting yourself.

    Is it better to have (been) loved and lost than never loved at all?

    Not everyone who doesn't have sex is due to a conscious choice. Sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to.
    Do you honestly believe, logically, that out of the roughly 62 million people in the United Kingdom right now, that there is not one person out there who is suited to your personality? Not your looks, mind you, I mean JUST your personality.

    Now, out of these, how many would be so fickle as to throw away an instantaneous connection (or 'chemistry', as it's now known) purely due to aesthetics that will whither with age? Would they even be worth knowing? Or even befriending? I can safely say that in my 21 years on this earth, possibly 5 or so years properly having communication with the opposite sex, that I've had one true, meaningful connection. Possibly two. Imagine this is stretched out, now, over the next 50 years. Simply extrapolating the results yields that, on average, one would have another 5 chances at a 'soul mate'.

    I think that teenagers, due to hormones and whatnot, tend to have a warped image of how they're perceived. There is always someone who'd be attracted to you... you just need to live life and get on with it all rather than moping about online and wondering why you're so lonely, posting foreveralone images on your facebook pictures.

    Well, to give an obvious (but apposite) answer: when you're extraordinarily proficient at it.
