Are there really guys who pretend to be virgins?

I've heard some girls say they knew some guy who pretended that he was a virgin when he really wasn't, but I have never ever heard of this as a common occurance. Why would a guy pretend to be a virgin when male virginity is stigmatized? That doesn't make much sense.

I am utterly surprised by people saying they've actually known these guys. I've only heard about it once or twice, and even now I find it still hard to believe. Since male virginity is usually frowned on and joked about it, I cannot understand how a guy could even take a risk of pretending that for sympathy sex. I would imagine a woman he told that to would reject him before sleeping with him.

  • I'm sure there are.
    It's an angle to differentiate themselves when talking to women. Playing for sympathy, making the woman feel special that she's the one he's chosen.

  • Yup born again virgin. I only had 9 kids

  • I'm sure it happens, but the only way this would work is if he was already regularly having sex in the first place since he is what women would convinentially consider attractive.
    Men in their 20's rarely ever gain a better opinion form women for being virgins, usually the opposite.

  • Maybe they just wanna act like a good boy in front her
    Plus it might be an excuse for bad performance

  • Maybe some super religious guy. But I think it is the other was around - men with little to no experience brag about how many women they have allegedly banged.

  • Never heard of that but would assume they do that to somehow comfort the other person they're trying to fuck, like "let's explore this together I'm new to sex too" I don't really know man... Either way that's weird.

    • As you said you don't know men meaning you just don't know

    • Forgot the "," let's do it again... "I don't really know, man" (man referring to the man asking the question) thank you bye.

  • Wtf why would a guy do that?

    • I know, I can't figure that out.

    • Maybe religious beliefs

  • I pretended with my friends just to be a joke.

    I would never lie to a potential partner.

  • He might do it to make himself seem more appealing to a girl, or because he's ashamed on not being one

  • ... No, because guys can't be virgins, because guys have no physiological or biological indicator of virginity. We just have a first time. Only girls are virgins. Any male who wears a shirt like that is an idiot, for several reasons.

    • Interesting. I remember you telling me that once on your old account.

    • If something can't be measured, it doesn't exist.

  • Maybe one idiot who thinks it'll make people sympathize with him when in reality, they're at the very best not thinking much of it, most people will make fun of him.

  • Why would I want to pretend to be a virgin?

  • I personally don’t see a point in guys lying about being virgins. If anything they’d lie about NOT being one as they love to brag how experienced in bed they are. I had one guy who told me he’s done it before but he acted like a virgin. However everyone is different. I wouldn’t be surprised if a guy said he’s a virgin just to make himself look like a good guy infront of the girl.

  • Only idiots do

  • That's fucking dumb. That's like intentionally lowering your own cool factor.

  • I don't remember who it is but there is a g@g member in his 50s who is still a virgin.

  • Maybe going for the mercy fuck?

  • I've never heard of people like this but such would have to be highly desperate to do so.

  • What the h...
    30 years ago was it not that great to say you was if you was a guy. a lot of people did think like that.

  • Probably do to get into the pants.

    • But thing is, a lot of women don't want virgin guys, so how in the world can these even benefit a guy to lie? It's so weird.

    • Some chicks are virgin killers. They only want to sleep with virgin guys. Other guys probably don't like a guy who's a player, so when a guy who has all the smooth lines and is a virgin (i. e not a player ) come around, she's duped. I've seen these things happen.

    • Wow, very interesting.
