José Ángel González is 36 years old, and until recently only three people knew his secret: his father, his mother, and about three cousins.
No one else. Not friends, not coworkers. The Chilean sports commentator, known as ‘The Poet of Commentary,’ decided to publicly share that he has never had a partner and is still a virgin. He did so without drama, almost as if he were taking a weight off his shoulders, because he is convinced that talking about it breaks a taboo that many prefer to hide.
What came next took him by surprise. He started receiving messages from women with direct proposals, including the explicit offer of a ‘sugar mommy.’ He turned them all down. He defines himself as a person ‘of processes,’ someone who needs time, connection, and to get to know someone before taking the next step. He said that he once tried Tinder and kept up a conversation for six months, without rushing. José Ángel does not regret speaking out: he says that if there are no longer any taboo topics, this should not be one either.
