How old is too old?

First off, I'm not sure if this is the best place for this topic or not. Mods, feel free to move it to whereever you think it should be...

Secondly a little background on why I'm about the ask the question that I'm about to ask:

I'm 24, and I still haven't had sex. I've been waiting to find that "specail someone". I don't want to just sleep with any girl. I want to actually fall in love and all that stuff. But I still haven't found a girl that I really care for...

So here is the question: How old is too old to be a virgin? At what point does it go from being a good thing to just being sad?

I get the feeling that I may have already crossed that line, but I hope not...

Most amazing jew boots

Perhaps there is no line? I just assumed that there was, but if I knew for sure I wouldn't even be asking, LOL...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

virgin pity parties

Hey, I never asked for anyones pitty. I don't want it either. That wasn't the point of the thread. I'm also not asking for dating advice. Maybe I just worded it poorly, I'm not the most articulate person after all. If so, I'm sorry to have confused you.

What I am asking is this: do you believe that someone can reach an age where it is no longer normal to be a virgin? If so, when?

Also since the topic is heading this direction anyway, lets introduce a second qustion: Is it even worth worrying about? Is there really anything special about your viginity? Is there any reason to wait for "true love" or whatever?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow, I wasn't trying to start a flame war with this topic. Honestly, you people should settle down.

Also, I want to make it clear that I don't think I have more "self control" or something just because I haven't had sex. I don't believe it makes me "better" than anyone like some virgins do.

And I didn't really think it was nessisary for me to tell you all about my sexual history (or lack there of) for us to have a decent converation about the issue in general, but since so many of you have asked I don't see any harm in telling you about it:

Yes, I do try, I do put in some effort to find myself a girlfriend. I've asked out girls before, so far they've all turned me down. Thats not to say that I've never had a girlfriend though. I did back in high school, she actually was the one who asked me out. It didn't last very long though because I was just a dumb kid back then, LOL. I also have friends who are girls, so I wouldn't say that I'm afraid of being around females or anything.

I do have some things that I feel are holding me back however. I still live with my parents (thats the only way I can still afford to go to school), I know thats not very sexy. Also, I'm a pretty quiet guy. I am not "shy", just "quiet". But because of that, alot of people seem to think (mistakenly) that I have low self-esteem. Lastly, I don't have much in common with most girls I've met. My hobbies aren't things that 95% of girls would be interested in. I'm not really into pop culture (music, for example, is something I just don't care about), and I don't drink or smoke. My interests include things like Camping, Hunting, Martial Arts (been practicing TaeKwonDo for a few years now), cars, things of that nature. Guy stuff...

Sorry, I hope my life story wasn't too boring for you guys, but you asked for it...

How ya doing, buddy?

Gumby, perhaps my location does have something to do with it. I have 2 close friends who never had any luck with the girls around here, but when they moved elsewhere to go to college, that changed. Actually, one of them just got married recently. They both told me that there's something wrong with the girls in this area...

I live in Beaverton by the way, right next to the Portland boarder. I've lived in Portland area for most of my life, but I don't really care for city life. I value peace and quiet, big citys make me feel a little uneasy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

yea, that really is your problem right there, you need to move somewhere in the city, women in the city are more prone to dating rather than the ones in the tri-country area. I don't suggest you should go 'live' at a dorm or anything but finding somewhere to stay in the city might be more useful for dating.

I am in the city. Well, not in it, but right next to it. If I lived 2 blocks down the street I'd have a Portland address.

Most city girls I've met only care about what kind of car you drive and what brand of clothing you wear.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
