Why do people think it's so weird if your still a virgin at uni?

So my first year of uni ends in a week (I'm 19) , it's been a pretty good year made friends getting a house with them and all that stuff. One things still bugging me though, how much of a big deal being a virgin is to some people. They always assume there's some reason for it, like your socially awkward (ok, in some cases I can be around girls :P) or you're a creep. I told a girl in my accommodation that I was a virgin and her response was "awwww, that's so cute".

I guess I've never really tried to lose my virginity (never really spoke to many girls, or had friends that are girls) and I don't care until some comments are made by unexpected people like even my dad was like "bet you've got with a few girls at uni" whilst we were having a pint at the pub over the break and I just sorta laughed :/ .

Alot of people lose it at school I guess because everyones going through puberty and experiment, I didn't really catch on to it all at that age because I didn't get aroused or anything until I was like 15-16 (bit personal, sorry) so I missed out on that gap and have just fell out of that circle now everyones got experience, plus I look pretty young for my age which girls don't find attractive, either way I just think I should have lost if by now because it's the social norm and that's becoming even more obvious now through tv shows and stuff.

Your thoughts guys?

i'll be a virgin when I go :dontknow: It's not like anyone's gonna know though. I'll hardly be announcing it from the rooftops.
Because most people lose it at 16.

christ...virgin at 19? and youre at uni? living away from home?

whats wrong with you, what are you doing so badly?

you wanna go out at least once a week and bring a girl back. hey, listen, pull a fatty if needs be. get that virgin tag from your name and then you can up your game and move on from there.

get an escort if that fails. do anything to get your confidence higher and lose the virgin tag. i lost mine at 15 dude up your game (srs)

Yeah guess it just never happened because I wasn't really sexually mature at 16, it didn't feel right talking about any of that stuff for me then, it was just intimidating, still is at uni parties and stuff when I hear people talk about it.

Because those people seem to think sex means everything and have probably lost theirs at 16 to a complete tart who they'd never dream of sleeping with again.

If you don't want to lose your v via loads of drinking + clubbing at uni (which I respect) then don't. Entirely your choice :smile:

Yeah I know it's pretty bad I'll even accept your opinion at this point, I just don't put myself out there maybe because of confidence issues, I don't go out with mates that are into pulling either, they have girlfriends or we just have lads nights.

I'm male too bro :biggrin:
I hate these stereotypes that people should lose their virginity before they're 13 or something.

organise a night out drink a lot of alcohol, put yourself out there and bring a girl back. or hire an escort, dont worry about the first time being 'special' or with 'someone you love' i lost mine in year 11 to a girl i cant even remember the name of and i couldnt care less

I was on a field trip in Malta for a week when this topic came up, everyone at the table going round saying how they lost their virginity at 14-16 etc (including a lecturer, little bit gross). Stunned silence when I admitted I hadn't yet had sex. Still hadn't lost it when I left. There is bigger things in life and bigger pressures than having sex for the first time. Just lose it when you want to and are ready to rather than being pressured into it because everyone else has and thinks its weird if you don't.

As for why it is weird, I'd put some of it (depending on the type of person/group of friends) down to the American Pie films and other things like that.

Same here. I haven't ever been in a relationship, never asked anyone out, never been in a club and tried to "pull", nothing. Haven't really made any effort on that front, whether relationship or one night stand. So I haven't lost my virginity. It just hasn't happened.

I mentioned it once or twice during drinking games with course mates. I thought it would be a big deal because I seemed to be the only one based on events during games like "never have I ever", but no one seemed to care much.
