The first part is irrational; luckily modern people have evolved enough to have developed the reasoning to know better. Feelings are very much misleading. Virginity itself = good mother & health & fertility is an obvious non-sequiter. The second part is also stupid, I see the infanticide comment and the bit about the father killing his daughter either went over your head, or you are purposely ignoring them. We as human being have evolved in our intelligence to a point far beyond our hominid ancestors, so much so that we have developed things like contraceptives (to control pregnancy, and in some cases stop STIs), and hospitals (to help the sick so that they can live, and contribute to society) both of which fly in the face of natural selection. It is a very good thing that people don't follow what is "deeply rooted" in their biology, rape, infanticide, and murder are all natural to people, you twit. There is also a despicable group of people in this world who are 'attracted' to children, juding by your last sentance, I suppose you think they should follow that "natural tendency"?
Ok, sorry, but did you actually read what I wrote? I ignore the "father killing daughter" argument because it has nothing to do with the topic of virgins being, for evolutionary reasons, more attractive/desirable. And your virginity=health=etc either proves your... ill will or problems with understanding what you read. The fact that I mentioned a couple things that are biologically preferable in potential mate doesn't mean that they all tie in to the virginity. Clear skin and facial symmetry, for example, imply health and good genetic material - so these things are perceived as attractive. Visible defects of the skin, or aforementioned symmetry of face or body, suggest that there's something wrong and the person probably isn't a good material for procreation - so these traits are unattractive.
As for your idea that we've outgrown biology. We didn't. Obviously, we have more tools and better reasoning ability. So what? People don't go and consciously decide that they'll be attracted to someone. They just either find someone, or some trait of theirs, attractive, or don't. It doesn't matter that sex in our society isn't really about procreation most of the time - our perceptions of physical attractiveness are still guided mostly by the same mechanism that seeks optimal mate to have children with.
Also, you completely mix up two things. One is being attracted to something and acknowledging what you are attracted to. The other is acting on this - in a way that harms somebody. Contrary to what you might've conceived in your mind, I'm not supporting the idea that, say, men should rape virgins since they find virginity to be desirable in a woman. But that doesn't mean they should go "cure" themselves from finding it desirable. Rape, as you perhaps are aware, harms someone. Unlike finding something attractive.
And since you so generously delivered your opinion of what I think about "despicable people who are attracted to children", let me correct you a little bit. These people, as you would understand if you gave it a thought, have a serious problem in that it's impossible for them to naturally satisfy their sexual needs in a way that doesn't hurt anybody - the effects of "consensual" intercourse with children are well documented and it's not pretty. Despite that, though, and contrary to what your self-righteousness and (quite natural, don't misunderstand) feeling of disgust tells you... these people are not despicable. They're sick. They have a problem. But as long as they don't harm anyone because of that, they're much less despicable than self-righteous pricks like you. Psychological disorder that makes them feel attracted to children doesn't automatically make them rapists.

Thirdly, even if an obsession with female virginity was natural, that wouldn't make it right. All kinds of things are natural, including rape and infanticide. That does not make them good or acceptable.
Rape and infanticide - unlike finding a virgin more desirable than non-virgin - is a pretty harmful thing. Since, you know, being attracted (or not) to something generally doesn't inflict harm. It's the way you act upon your attraction that makes all the difference.
All that said, I'll refrain from further comments. I believe I made my point clear, there's also a nice comment on the matter of Virginity from Ardent Blossom. I guess that would be enough. And this is not really the place to argue about that anymore. But, if any of you guys feels the need to commen on why I'm wrong and finding virginity desirable is comparable to being an active pedophile - by all means, write about it. Just please excuse my lack of further replies.
