Main Entry: dig·ni·ty
Pronunciation: 'dig-n&-tE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ties
Etymology: Middle English dignete, from Anglo-French digneté, from Latin dignitat-, dignitas, from dignus
1 : the quality or state of being worthy, honored, or esteemed
2 a : high rank, office, or position b : a legal title of nobility or honor
3 archaic : DIGNITARY
4 : formal reserve or seriousness of manner, appearance, or language

Come on people Dignity is about character how one carries themselves.  Virginity is a biological thing that everyone is born with whether or not they possess moral or values.  Whether they do right or wrong, lie or steal.  Please people get a life if you think that being a virgin makes you more dignified!!!how stupid!!! then that means that all of our parents are less dignified because they are no longer virgins.  You cannot put the stipulation on it well if they were virgin when they married then they are dignified, because the reason you are saying people who are non-virgin are less diginified is because they are no longer a virgin so the same logic must apply regardless of marriage!!!

Please tell me how a woman who does everything but have sex with a man is more dignified than a woman who demands respect from her lover at all times.  One who knows her value and makes those around her respect her presence.  There are so called virgins that are more LovePeddler-ish than the average non-virgin woman.

Women please wake up and see the double standard, please don't be blinded by the likes of those that say a virgin is better because they/men will treat that virgin the same once she is no longer one.  Believe me when I say they place no more real value on her than he does a non virgin cause once he has accomplished his goal she is the same as the rest.  Be careful, because virginity in men is not valued the same, actually it is encouraged that they not be virgins, clear attempt to devalue women.  Virgin=good woman, non-virgin=bad woman, while virgin or non-virgin =good man.  Ladies becareful not to fall into this trap.  I don't say this to suggest everywoman should go out and lose her virginity but rather don't allow people to think less of you cause you made the right choice with the wrong person!

Having your dignity is way more important than your virginity because at some point you will lose your virginity but you never have to surrender your dignity to anyone not even the ones you love!!! So those of you that hold virginity as precious will soon find out that all that you hold so dear and precious can be over like that never to be regained, but if during your life time you lose your dignity you can always reclaim it and move forward. 

Dignity/character is self made and built and molded over time thus giving one choices

Virginity is biological was given to everyone regardless of their character!!!

I am not a virgin-hater but please don't insult women by telling them they are less than because they are no longer virgins!!!
If your virginity is still intact great, but understand once you lose it is does not change who you are just your biological status of virginity.

@ topic/thread yall have me LMAO, however it is my professional opinion that many do suffer from OCD or have OCD personality traits.  If it works for you and doesnt complicate your life then your ok and are managing the disorder fine!!!

As for me

My biggest pet peeve is when you call somebody and the answer you with "WHAT", if you really want to piss me off and have me not talk to you say "what" when i call you

I hate when you go into a public restroom and its nasty as hell, I think to myself and these are people mothers, wives and girlfriends.  The same women who claim to be all clean are the same ones leaving the bathrooms a hot mess.  But worse is the nasty arse women who use the bathroom and walk out without washing they hands, or worse the ones who go to the sink turn the water on and rub their hands together with no soap and leave like they clean. yuck!!!

religious people who don't act normal, the ones where you can't have a conversation with them with out them bringing GOD into it.  the ones who when you ask them how you dey they say I'm Blessed.  The worst are the ones trying to save your soul.

I hate seeing fat people in clothes that don't fit them but I really hate seeing skinny chics in clothes where their belly be hanging over the sides of their pants, skinny women with big stomaches acting like they got a great figure.  Skinny women with stretch marks all across her belly and she got on a mid driff shirt (babe just cause you skinny don't mean you going to look good in that!!!)

men with dirty finger nails
arrogant cocky men that have no reason to be

English women wearing knee high boots with shorts and a sweater when its hot as hell outside, oh yeah lets not forget the three scarf around their neck none of which match the outfit they have on

body odor, i hate it when people with funky breath sit next to me or talk near me, funky armpits, feet, if you stink stay away from me cause I have a sensitive nose.  I hate when people wear too much perfume or cologne too or them people who spray so much air fresher it chokes you.  People who funk up your bathroom and then shut the door and trap that smell in there for hours.

grown A$$ women with baby voices

phony/fake  people, cheap/broke people

white people who think they cool enough to use the N word

how white people and some blacks be drinking after each other, everybody at the table tasting each others drink!!!no community drinks for me thank you

I think the guys are misunderstanding what MOST not ALL the ladies are saying!!!

We are not saying that love isn't there, we are saying that we love the man and the money is a bonus, understanding that MOST not ALL women are self reliant and can provide for themselves, being in love with a man who has money is a truly welcomed bonus!!!

@mishoo

please translate!!! not tryin to turn it into a love thread!!!
I am certain there are women in his area!!! you tell him to check me out/scope me i'm to jelly jelly, what exactly is jelly jelly? is it what i think if so to each its own!!
