Would you marry/commit to a woman who is no longer a virgin?

I am extremely upset over this. I lost my virginity when I was 19 (this is quite old in my community) and I was saving it for the right person, I ended up losing it to a boyfriend (he was a virgin too) I really loved and we planned our lives together and often spoke about marriage and kids until he decided to dump me, this carried on for two years and he kept coming back and played with my feelings when j gave him chances, I tried so hard to work things out with him and he just ignored me, weeks later I found out he started a relationship with another girl. This made me suicial and I almost overdosed over this.

I am over him but I am not over the fact that I am not a virgin anymore, I feel as though I will have nothing special to give to my next partner and no guy would love or want to marry me. I know loads of girls who sleep around and get used all the time and I know so many that catch STDs, when I had my virginity I was thankful that I was worth more than females like this but now I feel as though I am just as worthless as them and that men would just want to use me. Nobody wants soiled/ damaged goods after all.

It's been just under a year since the relationship ended and I have only dated one guy since who only wanted to use me. I never get praise and respect from men anymore as only sleeping with only one guy is not seen as good, it's just as bad as sleeping around with loads of men in my eyes.

I decided to wait until marriage (for personal and religious beliefs) but I feel as though NO man would wait for me and they will just laugh and leave me because I am not a virgin, I was even considering getting hymenoplasty (hymen repair surgery) to fake my virginity and to lie to the next man I am with so I can have some kind of decent life and commitment in the future as I don't want to end up like most women I know. Even if I never have sex again (which is likely because of the consequences) I feel as though the surgery would make me feel valuable again as I feel as though I less value without my virginity.

Any help would be appreciated, I feel so bad right now.

Nope, only for sex. I wouldn't commit to somebody who is not a virgin 6
Yes, she is just as valuable in my eyes. I would be happy! 50
Yes I would, but I would prefer a virgin 11

    I married a divorced woman with children. I had sex once with one woman before I began the relationship with the woman I married. Virginity was never a high priority for me nor did it influence my decision whether or not to date a girl.

    If you're very religious and you're looking for the same then virginity counts, but not nearly as much as you seem yo think it does. BTW I think you're being way too harsh in your judgment of "those other women", especially when you refer to them as worthless! Pride goeth before the fall! Have you read Luke 18:11?
    11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

    We all make mistakes. To err is human. Some of us hit our thumb with a hammar once or twice and then we see the error of our ways and become a lot more careful. Some people hit their thumb dozens of times before they learn, and sometimes they KNOW the first or second time but it takes time and practice to get it right.

    We are all being targeted in our Achilles Heel. One persons weakness may be sexual promiscuity, another's is drugs and alcohol, another's may be low self esteem that influences us to make more mistakes because we think all is lost already so what does it matter?

    People usually judge us the way we judge ourselves. Don't be so hard on yourself. Remember when you learned to ride a bike? Did you get discouraged and give up when you fell down and skinned your knees. You probably dusted yourself off and tried some more. That's what life is about. Picking ourselves up and moving on.

    We are expected to make mistakes. That's why when Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother that sinned against him, up to "seven times?" And Jesus answered; "... "No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven! ... Jesus said to him,
    "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. ... "
    //biblehub.com/matthew/18-22.htm - 17k

    DO NOT let this one mistake define the rest of your life! Guys make mistakes too. Any guy that really expects his wife to be a virgin when he marries her has a screw loose in his head. He's living in a fantasy world just like the girls who hope some knight in shining armor is going to come along on a white horse and sweep them off their feet into the "happily ever after"!

    Pick yourself up and keep trying. Life is good. Also, DO NOT settle for some guy who acts like he's doing you a favor by dating/marrying you because you're damaged goods. Save yourself for a guy who loves you because you're a good person and you have so much to offer and he knows that virginity is not a measure of character.

    Don't get the surgery!

    I've had quite a few relationships as well as FWB sex, but not once have I had sex with a virgin (yet!).

    These days I think virginity (for better or wors)has become almost a meaningless concept.

    So don't worry about it.

    The man who really loves you probably won't care much about it, if at all.

    If he is worried about it just tell him his is bigger. That's the only thing most men are concerned about anyway - how they measured up against all the other penises that have been there before.

    That's just very silly of you to be stressing over this. You're being way too hard on yourself. I can guarantee you're not damaged. Nobody will look at you as being worthless just because you're not a virgin.

    In reality, having one or two sexual partners and sleeping around are completely different things. Everyone has different beliefs and I can see this means a lot to you, but it sounds like you have a lot to offer someone. You just haven't realized it. I think you should let go and realize it's all in your head. There's nothing wrong with you and you're actually gonna be fine.

    I don't think I'd marry or settle anyway, but I couldn't imagine a person's virginity or lack thereof to be a factor influencing that sentiment. I mean, if she did lose her virginity, that's cool because it means that she's desirable, and if she's done it enough times, it means she's got some experience under her belt; in fact, your marriage and/or partnership could only benefit from the inclusion of a partner that knows what they want and has experience in pleasing other people sexually. I believe that the only people that sincerely care whether or not you're a virgin prior to marriage are the religious and men that are threatened by women with 'unladylike' appetites.

    And btw, women that sleep around aren't 'worthless.' Where did you get such an idea? Is lack of experience really that much of an asset in your community?

    It is awesome you tried holding out,but don't be so hard on yourself, I wish I could find a woman like you ,most women have had multiple partners by the time marriage comes around, just find people that care about you even if you both feel like it's love share your physical self with him,love making is a expression of love as well,so make sure he knows it's not just sex but away to express your love for one another, I would love to make love to you and show you how you should feel :)

    WTF? "I decided to wait until marriage (for personal and religious beliefs)..."

    Well... there's your problem right there. You have a belief that a woman is worthless to a man because she's not a virgin. My guess is that you follow one of the Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).

    STOP with the insanity; find someone who will accept you for you; and QUIT allowing ancient middle-east superstitions ruin your self-image.

    I can't imagine why anyone would want a virgin. I would prefer someone who knows what the hell they are doing.

    I've commented before saying that inexperienced partners can be cute but that's about it to be honest. Virginity as an indicator for a "new good" is an inherently archaic belief which was rooted in the concept of women as property.

    Don't sweat it. The high majority of people have multiple sexual partners before marrying.

      That's a big load of BULLSHIT you just took.

      Women WANT to be a mans property. This is an instance where two people disagree and a common ground could never be met.

      Read on Lurker and try not to take such a nasty shit next time...

      Staying away from sex is an excellent way to build personality, spare time for yourself and spare yourself from painful personal interactions (many men use sex to humiliate women) Also 3 out of 4 adults have HPV the genital wart virus which you can never get rid of. If you enjoy painful STDs, humiliation from fucking, and wasting your energy in fucking about you are right

    No one cares. No one expects anyone to still have their virginity by the time they're marrying.

    The sailor married a woman who had slept with the whole football team before their marriage and he doesnt seem to mind. Actually she still sleeps with the whole football team occasionally and since his penis no longer works, even with viagra
