But remaining a virgin at 28 rather clearly is. :roll:
If you say it is, I'll have to believe you.

You were a star football player, too?
I know a few people who are convinced Tebow's gay, but none of them assume that that is something he should be ashamed of.
Part 2:
I've long said that a father of a teen girl will protect his daughter at great cost, and will be upset when/if his daughter gets laid. But the same father will give his teen son high-fives for doing the same thing. It's a double-standard.
That isn't true a lot of the time, but when it is.... why do you think that is so?
Why do you think it is more important for a woman to be more choosy with whom they have sex with?
It's common wisdom...and it's built into our very own genetics.
I am not an expert, but I think it goes waaaaaaay back. Probably for the same reason some daughters were fitted with chastity devices while sons weren't. I'm sure there's other things, too.That isn't true a lot of the time, but when it is.... why do you think that is so?

Totally agree. ANY woman can get laid if she really wants to. For men it's a lot harder (no pun intended, and not factoring in paying for sex).In fairness, having sex as a man is actually an accomplishment. Having sex as woman isn't.
Find me the dumbest, ugliest heffer out there, and I'll show you some guy out there willing to bang it. The reverse is not also true.
that doesn't stop ignorant people from claiming a man is gay for it.

That is not a reason... those are just some ways cultures dealt with the problem in the past...
There are many reasons..
1. Woman are more vulnerable to STDs
2. Woman can have children, and having sex with a complete stranger or loser in which results in pregnancy would be catastrophic for the children's and the mother's future... not only that, they pass on the sleezy genes of the semen squirting tape worm.
3. it is easier for woman to have sex, and since it is easier you should be more choosy and careful, it is easier to make poor choices due to the increase in opportunity to make them.
4. Men are more prone to sexual predation and sexual violence. Since it is more difficult for a man to have sex with a woman, he also is more prone to deception and manipulation in order to obtain his goal.
5. Evolutionary history-wise a father would naturally want his son to spread his seed, while his daughter to have children with someone that give them the best chances of success.
Raising a woman whom does not have sexual restraint, and one that does not make decisions based on her long term well-being... can lead to bad consequences.
Taking this information and creating dysfunction with it is just as bad as doing the opposite. But the wisdom is not wrong, this is something every woman SHOULD be taking into account whenever they make decisions about their sexuality. Promoting the opposite, promotes single motherhood, STD spreading, immaturity, victimhood, stupidity, welfare, I could go on....
Isn't there a disconnect here? We want our sons to spread their seeds, but we don't want our daughters to be the seed receptacles. We don't care if another man's daughter suffers bad consequences, as long as it's not our daughter suffering bad consequences.

That is but one aspect of the many, which I hope you understand, the wisdom does not JUST ride on this one fact... but yes, evolutionary-wise that is all that matters... because a male can have more children than a female can. Our genes don't care about ethics in this case.
Humans in general though do not have that strategy. We typically want to be careful with whom we reproduce with because we invest A LOT in our children. Men just have a slightly less motivation to do so.
The best way for society as a whole is to practice that both men and woman should be careful and not be sexual promiscuous.... but as I said before woman have different issues than men do that cause them to have to be more careful.

Er, no. This is false, but a popular perception. I would be upset with either.radcen said:Part 2:

One also has to keep in mind the role instinctual male territoriality probably plays in the "double standard" as well. A father is much more inclined to be protective, and even possessive, of his female offspring than male offspring. After all, in the old days, daughters would have been in pretty significant danger of basically being "poached" and spirited away by male rivals. A son, on the other hand, might very well be a potential rival himself.
I think mothers can have similar sentiments towards their sons as well. It's just not as strongly pronounced.

Virgins these days are looked down on and when we are dealing with a twenty-eight year old man that is a virgin, yeah, he might as well have a kick me sign on his back.
I don't much see the point in dating a Miss Universe if carnal knowledge isn't on the table.
Miss Universe Just Dumped Tim Tebow Because He Wouldn’t Have Sex With Her
Guy's committed to the ideal, you've got to give him that much. :lol:
A lot of guys out there wouldn't have been able to resist such a beautiful woman, principles or no.
To a certain extent, I think he probably made the right call. She apparently convinced Nick Jonas to abandon his own purity vow a while back, just to dump him a little while afterwards. It would appear that she's got a bit of a thing for "corrupting" religious guys, without anything much more serious in mind. If that is the case, and Tebow is as serious about marriage as his actions here would seem to imply, walking away was almost certainly for the best.
On the other hand, however, if Tebow really is that devoted to "the cause" of remaining abstinent till marriage, I've honestly got to wonder why he was messing around with a girl like this to begin with, and why he's not already married.
Seriously... The guy's good looking, famous, and reasonably wealthy. He also doesn't seem to be getting much out of "playing the field," so to speak. How freaking hard can it be to find a reasonably Conservative girl to settle down with? Just using freaking Christian Mingle or something. lol
