It depends on how you conduct yourself... the less you let things bother you, the less people will say things about it. I will agree, however, that this is much more true for men. Our culture still holds to the idea that women don't have much of an identity unless they are in a relationship.
I always suggest to everyone that they try to spend some time alone to get to know themselves before going into something like a relationship. Otherwise you cannot know if what you're doing is really the best thing for you.
I've recently noticed that doing anything that is contrary to social norms with confidence as though everyone should be like that tends to stop people from questioning it. Usually, however, I think most people that are single are viewed as desperate and dislike their virginity because it makes them feel unwanted and they really do want to be wanted.
We don't live in a very loving culture, and deep down people want to be loved. Problems will always arise because of this.
