Some conversations are only good once you have had time to put them into perspective
The weirdest conversation I never actually finished happened like this:
I was in university, walking with my friend after class. Talk turned to relationships, sex, virginity. He said that he wanted any girlfriend of his to be a virgin, and that if he ever found out that anyone he was dating wasn't one, he'd break up with her immediately. I said (half-shyly, half-defiantly, I was just discovering I had a voice) that I understood where he was coming from but that virginity should not be the only criterion by which to judge a person.
He stopped, stared, spluttered, "So you want t-t-to", he waved his hands around wildly, lost for words until his eyes lighted on the trees across the field. "You're saying it's fine if every girl here in $university suddenly decided to devirginate themselves on the nearest branch?!?!?!"
(His words, his intonation).
I opened my mouth, blanked out completely, shut it, and walked away.
It has been three years. I still haven't thought up a good comeback.

It is to be hoped that should he find marital happiness, the particular gene controlling mental outlook will not be passed on to the next generation. Such a jurassic POV deserves to go the way of the dinosaurs.
