Matter the most: sexual history and kindness. Matter quite a bit: looks and political views Matter somewhat: religious beliefs and intelligence Don't matter: humor and financial success (as long as she doesn't have loads of debt)

I find the whole Prodigal Son thing to very unfair to the other son. With today's society in general, it feels like the people who do wrong things for much of their lives and then repent are better rewarded than the people who were good all along. I'm an atheist, so I want to hear from the Christians as to what your thoughts on the Parable of the Prodigal Son are. Atheists tend to be very non-judgemental, but I'm in the odd position of being more judgemental than Christians, since I'm a lot more reluctant to forgive.

Men tend to deal better with adversity, so no matter what words you use, women are going to find insulting words towards them more hurtful than men will. However, I would argue that swear words against men are not nearly as effective as words such as "loser" or "creep".

Your thoughts on "Reclaimed virginity"
Emulator replied to Alex's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
I guess it is because I'm atheist, but the way I see it once you lose your virginity you have lost it. You may choose to change your behavior and live a chaste life from now, and that'll be a bonus for you in my book. However, your current behavior doesn't change the fact that you had sex in the past. -
I'd be really annoyed. I'm willing to maintain my grooming and appearance to make myself presentable to my partner. I would expect her to do the same. And yes, short hair is unattractive, and a bald head very much so.

Why do you Think more Men want Only Virgins?
Emulator replied to wny's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
Interesting. I'll revise my earlier statement and say that the percent of virgins must be roughly equal in both sexes. For your statistics, you should note that not all people who wait till marriage are virgins, and not all virgins are waiting till marriage. Regarding college stats, I'd think Duke must be an anomaly (might have something to do with it being in the South). The largest survey I've seen of students across campuses (https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/221153.pdf) shows that 42.8% of males have had 0 sexual partners, while 37.2% of females have had 0 sexual partners. Of course, your NCHS statistics show that the percent of virgins in the general population is basically the same for both sexes. -

Actually there are more virgin men than women. I guess that's another example of society propagating false ideas. -
Long hair that's wavy, smooth, or fluffy. Also, I think bangs are cute, though most guys probably disagree.

Singles in America 2012 survey
Emulator replied to Emulator's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
Sorry for the late post guys. Here's a link to the website from which I got the gender breakdown for won't date a virgin: http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2013/02/07/hookinguprealities/matchs-2012-singles-in-america-survey/ Other websites quote an aggregate 42% figure (not broken down by gender) for the percent that wouldn't date a virgin. Unfortunately, I don't think the full survey results were publicly released, so I had to piece together the statistics from various media sources. -
Would you date an opposite sex version of yourself?
Emulator replied to Invincible's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
Definitely! Yes, we wouldn't be able to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, but shared goals and mindset would be very nice. -
Singles in America 2012 survey
Emulator replied to Emulator's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
Well, it's within the margin of error. In general though, that's not surprising. Since women prefer older men, there tend to be more male virgins, especially at a young age. -
Singles in America 2012 survey
Emulator replied to Emulator's topic in Topics About Waiting and/or Relationships
Also, 13% (I haven't seen a breakdown by gender) said they'll wait till marriage before having sex with a new partner. -
So a survey of American singles found that 24% of men and 23% of women who are single and aged 21-34 are virgins. On the other hand, 33% of men and 51% of women surveyed said they wouldn't date a virgin.

What is the one chore you hope your spouse will take over?

Change our kids diapers. Not looking forward to that...
