A couple of nights ago, I blogged about going out to lunch and telling a young man that I was a virgin and his response was to give me a high-five.
Today, I was having a conversation with a friend and I looked at the blog I wrote about her. Upon reading it, I was reminded that she responded to this revelation in exactly the same way.
I then posted status updates about people giving me high-fives when they hear I’m a virgin and, within ten minutes, I had a minimum of four people contacting me and commenting about it (half were making jokes).
What is it about me being a virgin that makes you want to give me a high-five?
It’s odd that this is seen as some big accomplishment when society says that I’m abnormal. I mean, it is a big accomplishment to go against the flow and stay pure for so long, but I’m the first to admit that it’s not by my strength that I’m a virgin today. It’s a “God thang” and the prayers of my future wife that I account to this unspoiled condition.
