Guys won't normally marry a "sleep-around."

While true in the broadest sense, people's standards adapt to the populations they live in (and this applies to far more than sexual behavior). My experience suggests that most young people are far less concerned with the sexual history of a person (at least in an absolute sense) than older generations, largely because the pursuit of such discrimination is a pointless exercise for them. For someone twenty years old, a girl that has only slept with five men may have the same social standing as a virgin would to someone who is fifty years old. The baseline has shifted because the population has. I don't care if a woman I meet is a virgin these days largely because they don't exist for all practical purposes.

Less is better, but looking for virgins is a ridiculous metric if you are merely looking for your soulmate. I certainly wouldn't penalize a woman that had sex with a couple men before but was otherwise perfect for me; there are many more important things to worry about.

Tortoise, trust me, there are virgins out there. I'll agree, out in the humanistic world, they are largely overshadowed by the large numbers of non-virgins. However, one has to know where to look. Singles departments at most churches are the place to look. There you will find respectable, good-moraled women. I know because I associate with them. Likewise, a woman will likely find more principled, higher values, virgin men. I'm not going to say that everyone single in the church is a virgin, because I know that even many Christians have been sucked into society. However, overall, you'll find a much better selection.
