Because they have the social skills of a teaspoon?


No, because my friend (the first guy I mentioned) is funny and has a great personality, better than a lot of guys I've dated, but I could never date him because he is my friend. I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship. Also, he holds a decent conversation and speaks to random people when we're out. Around me, he doesn't seem to lack confidence at all, but I'm not with him 24/7, so I wouldn't know because I only see him once a month usually.

He has respect for himself, religious, saving it for marriage, all girls he has met are fugly, he lies etc.

Not all men including myself want to get with some bimbo and lose it , we want to wait for the right lady, i've had 4-5 girlfriends and i wanted to really get to know them before sexing them, 2 of them were practically gagging for it but i declined, my penis did have a go at me tho :L

I know a couple of guys who are good looking, fit and have good bodies, but they are still virgins in their early 20's. Why is this? You would think they would have lost their virginity a good few years ago, but they are still virgins. I know that one of these guys used to be overweight with bad skin when he was 16/17 years old, but now he is gorgeous and a virgin, I couldn't believe it when he told me. The other guy I don't know him that well, I only know him through a friend of a friend, so he isn't exactly a friend of mine, but he is a virgin. He is also good looking, I just don't understand it because neither of them are religious, so nothing would be holding them back. The first guy (the one who is a friend) is always getting attention from girls, especially when he takes his top off on the beach or walking in public/through town.

Lack of confidence is the biggest factor.

They got no game.


Basically this. Having sex doesn't just accidentally happen, he has to put some kind of effort in to achieve it and if he lacks confidence and doesn't know how to manipulate girls very well then it just won't happen. For a girl the only factor is basically looking good, so they often can't immediately understand how a good looking guy wouldn't be getting laid constantly, since they of course have no understanding of what attracts them to a certain man and assume that being good looking is the main factor as it is with girls.

Lack of self-confidence carrying over from their teens, maybe?


EDIT: ^Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


I think this could be the reason, although I'm not sure. The thing is, I haven't asked him why he is still a virgin because it's not my business to be nosy about his sex life. I know that he wasn't confident through from his teens until he was 21, but now he's nearly 23 and like I said, to me he doesn't seem to lack confidence, but maybe that's because he's comfortable around me. I don't think he's gay, because he looks at women a lot and says stuff "like she's hot" etc. If he was gay, he would've came out by now. but like I said, when we're out shopping/hanging out, I'll see him checking out girls from the corner of my eye or sometimes he'll make a comment about a certain girl. We mess about, for example we'll point out (not literally) attractive people we find sexy and then quietly say to each other "she's hot" or "he's hot" (I'll say the latter, obviously).

Religious reasons
Waiting for someone special
Small penis
Are not virgins - they are lying
Have never slept with a girl - but has slept with many guys (he is gay)

The options are endless - if you want to know why he is still a virgin you will have to ask him.
Society nowadays...smh...
so because two guys have chosen to remain virgins for whatever reason-
they have to be branded 'weird','unconfident' 'socially-akward', 'gay'?!?!
if anything there more confident on the whole because they arent giving in to peer pressure.
if anything the are more 'normal' because they dont see sex as their number one aim in life

i doubt they will remain virgins for the rest of their lives, so it hardly matters how late they lose their virginity. If ANYTHING you should respect that! xxx

None of that gets you laid, though. If he can't act sleazy and close the deal then he's ****ed. Or not, I should say.

Because it's their choice whether they want to or not?

Maybe they don't want to cheapen themselves? Also, it's miles harder for a man to convince a woman to sleep with him. Even if the first one is always surrounded by girls that doesn't mean he knows what to do with them.

So you suggest that he/they lower themselves to sleep with these random, drunk women. Because no women of any class would want to sleep with a guy straight off the bat. Because c'mon, we all know that 99% of the time, a girl will not have a one night stand with a guy unless he is good looking, but even then, most girls have to be wasted to sleep with the guy.

Asexual? Lack of desire to have sex, maybe.
