Is saving yourself for marriage usually because...

Yeah in high school.

Well if it's not for religious purposes, I have no idea why someone would do this. Even the most chaste women are going to outcast a non-religious man that has never been with a woman past his mid 20's at the very best.

I am thinking this is like my original point...since noone is coming around it's easier to say 'it's because I don't want to'.

Are you at least dating? Even the most devout Christians date...it's the idea to finding someone to marry.

I've not given it much thought, Alkemyst, beyond the simple idea. I have spent most of my life working and aside from a few close friends really don't get out much. I've tried to adopt a more standard lifestyle for a 24 year old but cannot bring myself to buy into it.

I date on and off but it's not one of my regular activities.

At some point in every man's life he has to make a choice to live his life in a certain way and to stop apologizing for it. I do not feel compelled to justify my choices to you nor any other person. I've stayed true to my principles and lost nothing by waiting. If my future lovers are more experienced than me then so be it.

Or maybe a character in a lousy B-movie.

Well you aren't waiting until marriage to have sex then. You aren't even giving yourself an option.

It's like someone saying they never street race, but at the same time they never drive either.

I've met a few attractive women who claimed to be saving it. This isn't because I was hitting on them or anything; they were friends with one of my best friends in college.
I would say a huge majority of women using this line are flat out lying, and are still virgins because they are undatable. ALL men claiming to save it are undatable.

The whole notion of saving it seems stupid. You don't practice at all, you find your dream girl, sleep with her, are absolutely terrible in bed, and she dumps you because you suck in bed. Epic failure.

I wouldn't say many of the guys are really undateable in the sense that they repel chicks...it's just they are too clueless and become frustrating for them. If a twenty something dude brings up videogames at any point on a first date (unless he met the chick at a lan party or online gaming community) they are not only doomed, but more than likely she's telling any chick possible to save them this misery.

This is why you don't associate yourself with games.

edit: he's probably a really nice guy, but he's not datable.
