People often want directly contradictory things. I want to be fit, but also eat lots of desserts. Alas, I cannot have my cake and eat it too. Desiring a self-contradictory concept is a fine dream, make lots of fiction about it, but people need to know that it is, in fact, fiction.
If you want a woman who sleeps with you on the first date, don't expect a woman to be a virgin on her bridal night. In fact, don't even expect a virgin on the first date. You want a woman who is into the weird stuff? Then don't expect a woman who is pure and innocent. If she comes onto men a minute before meeting you, she's going to come onto men a minute after meeting you.
A sexually-open, loyal, experimental, attractive, approaching-you-but-not-approaching-others virgin does not exist. Period. Or even without periods, that applies to men too, so you'd think men would recognize it.
Really, it showcases the lack of logic in men when it comes to the mating game, that they can hold these ideas and not immediately discard them as self-contradictory.
Its because a lot of them have been sold the lie that it is possible, that these things aren't diametrically opposed and you can't judge a person based on specific traits.
This is all a lie of course, but its bigger than them just being stupid. The culture we live in is built to force that down your throat daily, and no one is immune to propaganda. And even worse, brainwashing never goes away completely even once you snap out of it.
The true contradictory belief all men hold is that you can hold women to principled standards AND not end up pretty terribly alone because of how few might ever reach them. None want to face the fact they might never find them and that makes them waver.
