Guys, would you date an ugly girl cos she's a virgin??

basically during a conversation i told one of my male friends that I'm still a virgin (i'm 20) and he seemed really surprised. our friendship got deeper from then on and gradually we became really close- now he's my boyfriend. I wouldn't say I'm pretty, to be honest, nowhere near pretty (appearance). So really just wanted some opinions from guys out there. Would you date an ugly girl just becos you know she's a virgin? cheers,

I'm not really experienced, at least not for the 'virgins being better', which this is going to be about. However, I do have experience with women thinking they look worse than they are. I know a few totally gorgeous women who think they are ugly. Maybe you're not as bad as you think. Besides, not all guys are as shallow and sex-obsessed as women believe.

I couldn't care less whether she was a virgin or not, so no.
Maybe you are not as bad as you think you are. Be thankful this guy seems to like you for who you are.

no. I don't date ugly girls.

What gives you that idea? It's probably cos you have a low self-esteem rather than being a virgin...
fistly whether someone is a virgin or not doesn't change my opinion on them at all.

looks aren't everything, you could have a stunning person who's a nasty character on the inside, go for personality all the time.

you've built up a good freindship which has lead to a relationship. i highly doubt its based on appearance or you being a virgin. its probably a bond of personalities.

what a strange thing to ask
Funny, but I've always been told by the guys I know that they would never date a virgin, because they would have to teach her everything, so the more experienced the better...

I would never date a virgin...I don't think I would be a very good special people for someone first time. I would however date a ugly girl if she was good in bed...it's all about the person inside at the end of the day.

I might date an ugly girl because I'm a virgin. Which I must admit, is still pretty bad.

I would never have any particular preference based on whether a girl is a virgin or not. I bet you're not ugly anyway. Why do you think you are? Is it a weight thing or a facial appearance thing? If it's weight, you can fix that, and if it's face, I bet it's not as bad as you say - even if it is, a good hairstyle etc can often help a LOT.
I would only date the person if i fancied them and like them. perhaps it developed into a relasionship because you opened up to him and some trust and closeness developed? You're not the only 20 year old virgin out there.

Are you asking this question because you have doubts on the basis of your relationship?

If so, then you really need a good talk with your boyfriend about how you feel.

As to your question, it shouldn't even come to mind! In the end, why the hell would you want to end up with someone that only likes you because you are a virgin?

That is just beyond shallowness.

I am pretty sure that you aren't ugly at all so figure out why you are in this relationship in the first place and if it was the right decision. If he truly loves you because of who you are as a person, you will notice!

Good luck :hugs:
You say he was really surprised which suggests you're not ugly people are their own worst critics.

I don't know about all you Brits, but in the states when good looking guys go after ugly girls it is generally because they are NOT virgins and will give it up. But then again you all drive on the wrong side of the road, so who knows...? :wink:
I'm not saying this is you OP but I get really pissed off with pretty girls who moan about how 'ugly' they are. I find it very hard to have sympathy with them which perhaps is a bit unfair but ah well.

Anyway, what are you getting at with this question? The bigger issue is would you sleep with someone who you think is only with you for your virginity? You need to work out what his intentions are towards you before you let him anywhere near you.

I would not date an ugly girl just because she is a virgin, but being a virgin is an advantage in some ways. No guy likes girls who have reputations for sleeping around. At least being a virgin shows that you haev some self respect.

Eh, how?

Everybody's a virgin at some point. It's not a personality trait.
