<p>Really interesting stuff here: Harvard</a> Crimson: Senior Survey 2012</p>
<p>Little sex? Looks like over 70% have had at least one partner. I must be missing something…</p>
<p>Top schools have sexually active students, too.</p>
<p>I’m a bit shocked that 30% of women didn’t have sex.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Unless your Alma Mater is BYU or Liberty that’s a pretty low number for a bunch of 18-22 year olds.</p>
<p>Also, very high number of virgins who entered I see.</p>
<p>^ Um… that’s really not a low number. There are still plenty of women out there that are putting off sex for cultural, religious, or even practical reasons (haven’t had the opportunity). And considering that many people didn’t have sex in high school, the virgin number is not surprising either… </p>
<p>You’re not even IN college yet. Wait until you get there before you start making statements about student populations if you haven’t experienced any yet.</p>
<p>I’ve seen so many threads dissing on Harvard today haha</p>
<p>Reading this makes me feel like ■■■. I’m going to college this fall and I already know I’ll be one of the only students who won’t have a partner or have sex just because I’m 5’7. It really sucks how shallow girls can be.</p>
<p>That’s nothing, try being a 29-year-old virgin undergrad surrounded by people ten years younger than you with way, WAY more experience with the opposite sex. It makes you feel like a little kid around people two-thirds your age.</p>
<p>rd, you really should start by not referring to girls as shallow. It’s not like height is some magical way to get laid. My current bf was a virgin until we started dating. He’s over 6 ft, very attractive, and rather outgoing. Everyone was shocked when he was still a virgin at 20. So, people that you perceive as not being virgins might surprise you… </p>
<p>OTOH, I know guys who are much shorter than myself (I’m 6 ft) who have had sex. Yes, most females are looking for guys that are taller than themselves but as the average female is < 5’7", it’s probably not your height that’s holding you back. </p>
<p>Don’t assume you’ll be the only virgin or even one of the only virgins. Don’t assume it’s your height that’s stopping you from getting a girl.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree with romani. It’s your attitude that’s not going to get you a girl. Not your height. I don’t think I’ve even dated a guy and/or liked a guy who was over like 5’8.</p>
<p>BTW: Average height for girls in the US is 5’4 and around the world is 5’3. That means you’re basically the ‘perfect’ height for about half of the girls in the US. Your height isn’t a problem.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>By 19, 70% of males and females are not virgins:</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>5’7" may not be the tallest but it’s fairly average. Most girls won’t care about height as long as you look decent, have self-esteem, and can socialize without major issues. You’d be surprised at how many fine girls would take a liking to you.</p>
<p>insom, yes… 19 would put you squarely in college. In fact, that gives you about a year of college. Therefore, that doesn’t do anything to support or contradict my claim. </p>
<p>It says the average age is about 17. That’s a late junior or senior in high school. So again, “many” have it after that. Also, the statistics they are working on are 6-10 years old, fwiw, and it says that people have been putting off sex in the last decade or so so the number might actual be higher than that now.</p>

<p>“In 2009”</p>
<p>“In 2006–2010”</p>
<p>You may want to check your math. :)</p>
<p>^ Check the sources cited for that statistic: </p>

<p>lol That wasn’t all of them. Are you really going to argue with me on this?</p>

<p>And I can keep going on and on.</p>
<p>You may want to learn how to cite things. </p>
<p>I didn’t even state that statistic, but here it is:</p>
<p>“On average, young people have sex for the first time at about age 17,[2,3] but they do not marry until their mid-20s.[4] This means that young adults may be at increased risk for unintended pregnancy and STIs for nearly a decade or longer.”</p>
<p>I stated this statistic: “Although only 13% of teens have had sex by age 15, most initiate sex in their later teen years. By their 19th birthday, seven in 10 female and male teens have had intercourse.[1]”</p>

<p>I was referring to the 17 statement. 2,3. I’m done here.</p>
