MRA Group Searches For 'Beautiful Virgin' Brides With Intact Hymens

"If they weren't good enough for the one they gave it up to, why would they be good enough for you?"

That's the logic behind a Facebook page called "No Hymen No Diamond," which encourages men to put a ring on it only if the woman in question is still a virgin. Ladies, don't these dudes sound like real marriage material?

The men's rights activist (MRA) community of more than 1,100 users shames women for embracing their sexuality and cautions helpless men against marrying ladies who dare to... do pretty much anything with their bodies that the same men declare untoward. The group shares posts with the charming hashtags #NoHymenNoDiamond and #PoppedCherryDontMarry.

"No Hymen No Diamond" is the group's actual slogan. What a bunch of sad little boys.

This is my own opinion as far as sex but I really think a person's 1st partner should be someone who knows what they're doing otherwise it's a little disappointing.

Someone was telling me about her friend who was a religious virgin who married another religious virgin. The guy couldn't consummate on the wedding night and weeks later they split up because he admitted to her he was gay and he married her because of his religious family.

Or the men have a small penis and they don't want a women comparing their small appenditure. I knew a guy who got off on virgins because they could not compare his small size to a normal size one.

After all, women would be deprived of the company of these MRA characters, wouldn't they? What, an MRA's not going to want to be in a relationship with her?



Really, the only result of this campaign is that the MRAs become even more sex-deprived.

8. "The Blank Page" by Isak Dinesen
Sun Sep 27, 2015, 01:53 PM
Sep 2015
I will inform you, dear lady and gentleman, that in the country of Portugal in very old and noble families a venerable custom has been observed. On the morning after the wedding of a daughter of the house, and before the morning had yet been handed over, the Chamberlain or High Steward from a balcony of the palace would hang out the sheet of the night and would solemnly proclaim: Virginem eam tenemus -- "we declare her to have been a virgin." Such a sheet was never afterwards washed or again lain on...

In the tall main wing of the convent, which overlooks an immense landscape of hills and valleys, there is a long gallery with a black-and-white marble floor. On the walls of the gallery, side by side, hangs a long row of heavy, gilt frames, each of them adorned with a coroneted plate of pure gold, on which is engraved the name of a princess: Donna Christina, Donna Ines, Donna Jacintha Lenora, Donna Maria. And each of these frames encloses a square cut from a royal wedding sheet...Within the faded markings of the canvases people of some imagination and sensibility may read all the signs of the zodiac: the Scales, the Scorpion, the Lion, the Twins. Or they may there find pictures from their own world of ideas: a rose, a heart, a sword -- or even a heart pierced through with a sword...

But in the midst of the long row there hangs a canvas which differs from the others. The frame of it is as fine and as heavy as any, and as proudly as any carries the golden plate with the royal crown. But on this one plate no name is inscribed, and the linen within the frame is snow-white from corner to corner, a blank page...It is in front of this piece of pure white linen that the old princesses of Portugal -- worldly wise, dutiful, long-suffering queens, wives and mothers -- and their noble old playmates, bridesmaids and maids-of-honour have most often stood still...It is in front of the blank page that old and young nuns, with the Mother Abbess herself, sink into deepest thought.

She's the perfect MRA "woman" since she never talks back, is always "ready," will never gain an ounce, and will always be perfect in every way. She'll never get knocked up, swell up like a balloon, and expect them to pay for the squalling brat that comes out.

Best of all, she'll remove them completely from the dating market and, with luck, the gene pool.

As for this, once someone is 100% lonely and never getting laid, it's impossible for them to be any more lonely or get laid any less, so these dudes probably aren't going to end up any worse than they were before.

I had a roommate in college who lost his virginity to his future wife and has never been with another woman.
They are celebrating their 30th this year.

Takes a certain mindset, I guess.

Sun Sep 27, 2015, 10:40 PM

ideal, or absolute- that is a recipe for failed marriages.

Telling people that they should either marry the first person they are going to screw, or wait until they're ready to get married to do it.

I don't know about you, man, but if I had married the person I lost my virginity to... she's a fine human being, we're friends on facebook, etc... but not someone I could envision spending my life with, and no doubt she feels the same way about yours truly.

I wasn't in any shape to pick a lifelong partner at age 16.

That's not to say it can never work out that way for anyone, of course.

And to save time in real-life dating, always be sure to ask everyone that important question before you decide to try to get the phone number!

Uncertain about how to begin? You can explain first that you are trying to save money on condoms

I remember reading as a kid (read: in the 70s) that Japanese men insisted on marrying virgins, and so enterprising plastic surgeons came up with surgery to create an artificial hymen. Why anyone would want to do this, I have no idea -- but modern medicine can solve this problem.
