It's true. non virgin marriages have about a 1/4 success rate, virgin marriages have something like 95%
Virginity as a stigma
That could also be because virgin marriages have a high overlapping demographic of religious individuals.
The people I know that aren’t virgins/shame virginity don’t have a history of successful and intimidate reationships: it’s a bunch of one night stands or hilariously awful relationships that they regret and/or didn’t have any concern for the emotional well-being of their partners.
Mine was due to…solitude. I never trusted my family, my own flesh and blood, and I wanted to feel…loved, in the flesh. The despair grew so strong I did not care about God anymore, and a fake love would have been more than enough to quench my desires; thus, I crossed an ocean and went to the United States of America to have sexual intercourse with a (male) friend of mine. I don't want to tell more about my parents, for they love me even if they made mistakes whilst bringing me up…and I am aware that I should be glad that they were co-creators with God of my life, but at times it's somehow difficult to accept their failure at shaping me as a good person. But I still want to love them.
This very void was one huge motivator to indulge completely into my fleshly desires and abandon God. I can forgive my parents but my love towards them is as good as nullified and don't plan to have anything to do with them in the future, since most of their contact towards me is disingenuously and obligatory empathetic than anything else. Hence I am very sorry to hear that you suffered a similar fate, and hope that you're not a fag and actually a grill you came to terms with your mistakes of your past and can be content with your present, and most importantly can forgive yourself as Christ forgives you.
Lift weights and get physically more attractive and become nice to talk to and nobody will brand you a loser.
First of all, you disregard the ideas of the world as false and irrelevant.
One of the most important things I have learned so far about the virtue of chastity is that it is more of a state of mind than a physical reality. It really hit me when I read that St Basil the Great one said "Though I have never known a woman, I am not a virgin". Basically, lustful thoughts, even if we do not consent to them physically, violate our virginity, and purity is to be sought at all times. St Paul does not mine words when he tells us to flee fornication.
It's not what it's cracked up to be and people drop that attitude after college/university.
This isn’t even virgin exclusive;; everyone should get /fit/
I cannot respond to your post in full at the moment, but regarding the statement pertaining to being upset that someone wouldn’t get with them: even if I wanted to, I would be denied, I imagine. I doubt anyone is upset because on an unrequited desire for my body, anywhere.
I hope so, but I also don’t know anyone that met after college age that has a successful marriage. By the time I graduate, I don’t know if I’ll ever get married.

Exactly but it is in a way SOLELY meant for marriage. Period. It is in fact WHAT marries you. Consummation. Rest is ceremony. Sacred ceremony but ceremony nonetheless. The true sacrament is the consummation part. The ceremony is meant to publicly take away the woman from her father. I will NOT dishonor that for my father in law or my future wife.
