Regardless, I voted against banning Spencer in that other thread, so we have both valuable psychos such as Cornfed and me, and also at least some "creative writing accounts." (I used to think @MrMan was one, but I wasn't used to how many guys on here actually consider it normal to marry a virgin at the time.)
To me it is a sad commentary on our society that someone would automatically think a post about marrying a virgin or wanting to must be fiction. In reality, there are a lot of Christians who go to church and hear that fornication is a sin, who believe that, and abstain from fornication and adultery. It's just not a dominant theme in our culture anymore, and there are plenty of people spouting an opposing argument.
If you think about it, it does make sense. Just think of all the disadvantages those born outside of marriage without their own father in the home face. Where does that come from? Fornication? STDs generally come fornication or adultery. A couple of virgins can get married and have sex like wild rabbits, and they don't have to worry about VD or raising a child out of wedlock.
Yeah
@MrMan, even if monogamy's not for me and I mostly see it failing nearly everywhere, I do see where you're coming from, when it comes to the state of modern society. I think there are more Muslims than Christians at this point who still have a lot of the women remaining virgins until marriage.
Personally I wouldn't want to get together with a virgin (unless it was a strange and unusual case where she was a virgin in her late 20's at minimum and also head-over-heels in love with me, but otherwise no thanks).
But I agree with you that a father (ideally both a father and a mother) should be present in raising a child, whether monogamous marriage with a contract is involved or not.
I'm not an expert on this subject, but have read in various places that having a positive father figure in the home makes an important difference, especially for girls. (I read it's an even bigger deal psychologically for girls to grow up with a positive relationship with her father.)
I know a lot of women who come from divorced and fatherless homes (same as me) as well though, and some of them turned out fine. It's just the usual case of the ideal vs the real though, and I see most marriages failing even in the absence of particularly noxious and intrusive cultural influences (though also have seen some trainwrecks based on those).
But the other side of this discussion:
When it comes to me initially thinking you were one of the "creative writing projects" I didn't exactly think you were lying though, but rather that it was just part of your humorous online persona maybe, but now I no longer think that and am not doubting you. (Not that I cared, since I still thought you were funny, but now I do in fact believe you're a monogamist married to an Indonesian virgin.)

I was a hairy-- presumably testosterone laden dude in my 20's. I was alone over the holidays when people leave and stuff slows down and felt a bit lonely.
So I upped my prayers for a wife. I prayed all kind of stuff. I prayed for a virgin, and if the woman I knew was dating someone, gently break them up. (Boyfriend does not mean having sex over there, and it did not use to mean that in the US. Our sexual, dating and marriage culture is messed up.) I read about Isaac and Rebecca getting together and asked God to send an angel ahead of me to find my wife. I prayed all kinds of things. Some of it hit the nail on the head I found out later.
I finally met my wife (I'd seen/met her before, really). I didn't know this, but she sensed the Lord telling me I was the one. She talked to her friend who I was talking to. I introduced myself-- which meant she didn't have to strike up a conversation with a man she didn't know. She invites me to her Bible study. I give her my number I had a sense of it, but when I got home, I was praying about whether this was the woman I'd been praying for to be my wife.
Then in my thread where I was wondering about the best places to take a black woman that obviously had nil to do with someone like you, you trolled in with the following:

I read about an African tribe where the people average sex three times a night. They believe the 'night work' is important to make babies, and they have a cultural belief that sex during pregnancy helps the baby be healthy. You could get a wife from a tribe like that, and you might be too busy for polygamy or mistresses. But I think this might have been a hunter gatherer culture, with women that looked to me to be a bit stout and homely--just my personal opinion.
...
Another issue is female 'circumcison'-- where they cut all kinds of stuff off, leaving a woman with little feeling, unless she has pain. They do this to keep them from being promiscuous. I would imagine if they turn the sensitive parts to scar tissue, that would reduce temptation, but it sounds like it would be a lot less enjoyable for them and their husbands after the virgin brides get married off.
Then MrMan made other unsolicited comments about black women's physique and anatomy in some other threads, leading me to believe this MrMan guy who claims to be in total devotion to God while using the power of prayer to attract an Indonesian virgin bride, and then shows up trolling about African women's sexual behavior and anatomy was actually an eccentric online prankster.
But like I said, I no longer think that, and now I'm betting MrMan is one of many interesting actual personalities on Happier Abroad.
Also, not long after that
@Tsar was another one opening my eyes to how many actually really want to marry a virgin, and apparently that's quite common. (Another guy who knows the "manosphere" better than me says he's constantly hearing from guys with the same ambition.)
So now I get it.
I still wouldn't want to get involved with a virgin, personally. How's she supposed to know I'm the best in the sack if she's never even had any other men before?
But that's a good thing, since it's not like tradpill types out there are complaining that there are too many virgin women, and lamenting that they don't know what to do with them all.
