Tim Tebow Dumped For Choosing Abstinence

It really is a shame that this is even news worthy. Long story short, supposedly his girlfriend of a few months Olivia Culpo dumped him b/c she couldn't take being in a sexless relationship any longer, even though she knew going into this his views/values. She had previously dated one of the Jonas dudes who at the time was a virgin/celibate and she was eventually able to "break" him. I am guessing she went into this relationship thinking she could break Tim, and of course the attention/added fame she might get if she did.

The sad part in all this, reading through some of the comments, some people argue that b/c he wouldn't sleep with her Tim must most definitely be gay, or they blast his faith.

He has a strong set of values that he believes in, so more power to him for sticking to them.

Nobody would even question a guy who dumped a woman that wouldn't put out.

I find this interesting. If a guy doesn't put out it seems like the question of his sexuality is the main focus vs if a woman doesn't put out (maybe questions about her being an L may come up, but you are more likely to hear about her being a prude, etc...).

I wouldn't have dated someone waiting for marriage, at least not once I was over 20. Culpo isn't that much over 20, so I can see how she'd think that her sheer Miss Universe-ness would make him change his mind. Lots of people date knowing that the long term odds aren't very good.

I'm sure Tim Tebow is very attractive from a female perspective, it must be hard to have him so close yet unavailable. I can relate right now! Only with help from G-d and Samuel Adams am I going to survive my wife's pregnancy.

Culpo is attractive, at least physically. Tebow must have some real self-control. Too bad there aren't more public figures like him.

Tebow will eventually have to decide if he wants to date devout Christians or celebrities. There is some overlap but not a lot, especially among women. Maybe a country singer. Maybe he'll rescue Jana Duggar from maiden aunthood.

We won't see born-again Christians in bikini pageants.

If nothing else, it has gotten her a lot of publicity. I'd never heard of her before. It does seem interesting that she wanted to "break" the Jonas brother and dated Tebow knowing his stance if she wanted something else. But hell, when people are young, they think they can change their partner, right?

Years ago in a part-time evening job when I was moonlighting, I knew a woman who married a man and they had both saved themselves for marriage. She had real regrets about that; she said she wished she'd known more before she married. But to each his own.

Going without sex today until you're married then?

If you can, you have will power I never had. Hats off to this guy.

But look at his former girlfriend. WOW. I couldn't say no to her if I tried.....

Now I'm the type of guy not to move in and sleep with my woman until we were married. Doesn't mean we didn't do other things.....0:)

And that was tough to do as well.

If I had a girlfriend and to be wife that looked like this woman. BAAAAMMMM. I would need meds to kill my sex drive.

That is the part I don't follow with him as well. You would think dating former miss usa along with her obviously not being a virgin would throw the red flag for him. I doubt he has any trouble attracting like minded girls to go along with his values, but I am guessing the "celebrity" side of him is drawn to the miss usa types.

Would that more had his convictions and character. If he is gay would he not be having gay sex? Imagine a man who puts his values ahead of his own fleeting pleasure. I suppose that makes him stupid as well by those standards. Fascinating.
I agree NoChoice. Men and women with Tebow's values regarding sex and marriage rubs people the wrong way. I guess it makes a lot of people feel judged. In this case though, Tebow apparently is the kind of guy who doesn't judge everyone by his own standard though because he was dating her and she had had sex before.

Keep in mind that back when they came up with "waiting for marriage", people were getting married in their early teens. Maybe they had to be celibate for a few years after they hit puberty. A 28-year-old virgin is way outside the norm. After so long like this, I would think that will have a significant impact on how he views sex and incorporates sex into his relationship.

How so?

I don't even agree with Tebow and waiting for marriage. But waiting doesn't make him gay and this girl being a model doesn't make him shallow. Maybe he's not a smart guy and he should have seen her deflowering Jonas #whatever as a red flag. But he was apparently smart enough to not have sex with a girl before marriage who would leave him for not having sex before marriage. So he's still a virgin guy who lost a little time and it now still looking for a girl with his values.

Remember that media and tabloids are entertainment and whatever sales is what gets printed. Everyone, this thread is playing on our bias' of:
- The hot shot football jock who thinks he deserves whatever he wants.
- The snooty stuck up model who has everything given to her because she's pretty.
- The Christian who judges those who had sex before marriage.

These are stereotypes built on jealously, envy, and insecurity.

Maybe she's upset that her feminine wiles weren't up to the challenge. Maybe she's disappointed not to be his baby momma and be set for life with child support. Frankly, they were only together, what, two months? Some couples who DO believe in premarital sex still haven't done it that soon. She probably wasn't willing to invest more than a couple of months of her time into that particular challenge.

Smart guy as far as I'm concerned.

Doesn't it happen all the time to celebrities. I mean, anonymous sources are sometimes how people find out when a celebrity cheats on their partner. Someone outed Charlie Sheen on being HIV positive.

Many on here complain to friends about their spouse, even their family. The point is no one really cares about our break-ups.

I posted that I broken up with a previous gf on here because of her sexual dysfunction. In my own personal life, I know why some of my friends separated. Everyone has an inner circle that they tend to tell their secrets to.

No one on here really cares if a celebrity gets outed by someone close to them for being a homosexual or bi.

Sh1t gets leaked all the time and this one is no different.

Well this is an anonymous website and we are all strangers. It is a bit different here.

Tebow lives under scrutiny. There are those who think he should give his salary back....that he didn't earn it. I tend to agree. So when you get a pretty boy like him, who was hyped beyond belief, who also happens to be a pretty boy and Blake Shelton's twin brother, you have a guy who the sports press loves to hate. She should have known this. She should have known anything she might say to acquaintances would get around and eventually get leaked. She's not wise, but she's not dumb either.

I really don't know much about Olivia, but I can say that if her modus operandi is chiefly to bed young inexperienced, religiously-principled, moral men, solely to bring them down to her sordid level, then I'd be forced to say that she is little more than something than a five-lettered word that is synonymous with the word "streetwalker!"

Just saying!

For the record, being a virgin upon marriage does not guarantee a whole.

Adriana L ima, a Victoria's Secrets model was very famously a virgin when she married a basketball player who then cheated on her and made the marriage collapse.

Same with Brook Sh ields, she was not always lucky in marriage either.

We can only speculate based on what was reported but has anyone considered the possibility that the opposite is actually true? Perhaps he saw the futility of pursuing this relationship and ended it at which time she went into damage control mode and told the story to her friends in a way that put her in a better light? Perhaps she could not bear the headlines "Beauty Queen Dumped by Jock" and since he seems to care little of what people think he just accepted her inability to handle the situation. This is pure speculation, as is assuming his gender preference, but does represent a possible scenario.

I do wonder how much the image he has carefully built impacts his celibacy decision? Let's say he decides that he wants to get down, tired of waiting until marriage. Much of his image revolves around being someone devoted to his convictions/faith. Dropping the whole celibacy thing I would think would have a lot of damage on his image (which given his lack of success in the NFL his image probably carries him far now). I would think (or hope) he isn't stupid enough to know that he won't be able to have sex under the radar before marriage b/c odds are it will come out.

I remember a theory was going around about Katie Holmes and how Tom Cruise was not the biological father of her daughter. She was also a high profile virgin, had gotten pregnant by another guy and then took Cruise's offer....... as the theory goes.

If she manged to marry the "father" of her child before she was born, I guess that's second best.

And then there's Sarah Palin's daughter, who despite having signed a pledge of celibacy has now had two children -- from two different fathers-- out of wedlock.

Go figure.

Yeah but I bet Mr. Scientology got to eat the placenta, so it wasn't a total loss for him.
