They do, but just like all of us, they hate it. Don't you? No lie oh.

Etetejake:
Waoooooooo! my mantra: Don't measure luv by the value of gift received but by the sentiment which inspired the gift.

You nailed it there

all these wouldn't have happened if they had chose to close their legs till their wedding night.

You think And those that chosed to close their legs but were forced apart by some pervs nko?


Back to op, I'm sure by now you've gotten answers to your question (although I doubt you didn't know already).
Maybe its the society. Scratch that. The society is us.
But the craze for virgins no be here. And a girl has got to belong. I don't do virginity lies but I'm sure it makes the lady feel better; it gives a sense of belonging, you know, albeit a false one. Helps the self-esteem of the liar. With the way men go about singing the praises of virgins, they somehow make out non-virgins to be demons. Forget all the NL gragra, after everything, we're still ourselves in real life and the things we see and read here has effects. Some of them feel bad.
And when the next guy comes along, she doesn't know if he's on the virgin-praise-singers wagon and does what she feels will keep him: Lies.

I'm soliciting for em liars?? No way.

Why would anyone lie about such?
I mean, you could lie about other things and get away with it. But virginity? That's silly. Sooner or later he's bound to find out. Its not like you'll grow a new hymen.
A man that'll love you will whether you're a virgin or not. He may even respect you more for being honest. (You may get dumped too )

Neways, I'd rather a broken relationship than a broken marriage (like the one op cited)

Gifts can be a measure of LOVE depending on the person that is giving out the gift. "for example i have a girlfriend whoose monthly income is 100thousand naira, now on my birthday i discovered dat she gave me a gift worth 200,000naira, now withing me i will know dat she spend above her means and her savings just to make me happy, dats what we call a lovely gift, she loves me dats why she sacrifice 4 me. "now on d other side u cannot judge if a gift given to u by a millionair, smtin he or she can afford without breaking a sweat, that is not a gift given out of love. "a gift given out of love is a gift where the giver gave all that he or she had just to make u happy. "so yes a gift can be a measure of love in some circustance and it cant be a measure of love in some circumstance. "LOVE IS ALL ABOUT SACRIFICE. "u cant claim to love me when u cant sacrifice 4 me.

OK. So if she'd given you something worth like 10k it'd mean she loved you less??
That's what we're talking about. It seems we place too much emphasis on material things........
From your example, for all you know, she may have given that much because she's aiming for something bigger. #UlteriorMotives

I agree with you though on the part about sacrifices. But like the poster below you rightly said, its subjective.
Some people simply DO NOT know how to give. That doesn't mean they can't love truly. They only need to be taught.

Harbosede02:
It's nt.....I see gifts as something optional in relationships.

Babes, optional? Oh my! I don dey fear say na guy you be o.
I think giving is of huge importance in relationships. In any kind of relationship, it must be involved.

Its your opinion sha
