She's got looks, strength, and a ticket to London to run in the Olympics. So what is track & field star Lori "Lolo" Jones missing? A steady boyfriend.
She's been looking online – with every online dating service out there, reports HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel – and has had the most luck on Twitter, she says. Although not that much luck.
Holding back the 29-year-old in her quest, possibly, is the fact that she recently Tweeted that she is a virgin. "It's something, a gift I want to give my husband," she says on an episode of the pay-cable program to air May 22.
"This journey has been hard," she continues. "It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Harder than training for the Olympics. Harder than studying for college has been staying a virgin before marriage."
She admits, "I've been tempted. I've had guys tell me … 'Hey, you know, if you have sex, it'll help you run faster.' "
Only Jones didn't buy that suggestion, despite how much she wants the gold medal. "If you marry me," she quips on the show, "then yeah."

I was a virgin well into my 20s and, when I was younger, people gave me so much grief about it.

Mind your own business dammit.
in situations like that it should be purely "to each their own"
I had one friend- who slept with a lot of people during our first year in college- tell me that I should just "DO it already and get over it!"
Sorry, I have respect for myself and my body. I am NOT going to just sleep with someone to say that I had sex. That's not how I roll.
I was just jokin gorl
and besides, your hymen can recover your vaginal opening after losing your virginity but you're not a virgin again, really
if she doesn't know already
Unless you're really religious I don't get what a person is trying to achieve by waiting til marriage and marriage only til they have sex
not that i'd advocate it for everyone. everyone should stick it/get stuck/etc whenever they feel like it.

I'm glad I waited, but after it was all said-and-done, I realized how insignificant it really is.
Same. My ex gave me some grief about how soon I "gave it up" (three weeks) and while I am glad I was in a relationship at the time, I was just so ready to be done with virginity!
Men will say anything to get some i swear
wtf has that ever worked? I mean it can happen, but it's rare. lmao
The best part about the person who said it on here was that they said that they had sex with "_.5" people and the just the tip was the half.
Starting with "It'll make me bigger, so it will be even better next time."
NO THANKS
kind of ruins the relationship imo, with financial things especially
Hopefully she values commitment more than marriage itself.
Wait, in your opinion, is commitment bullshit?
also yeah, definitely when we get married i will have hella amazing health insurance through him lol
legit only want a wedding for the dress, party, & gifts
a bunch of dicks on sticks arranged in a bouquet.
the imagery is horrifying tho
Same.
This post has a lot of potential and I'm excited for it. *settles in*
I feel bad for women who wait until marriage because they are usually really disappointed and unable to enjoy themselves as they don't know what positions work for them and plus the first time can hurt like a motherfucker.
