Why do some men brag about their sexual experiences?

The guy I'm currently "e-dating" is constantly bragging about his past sexual encounters and even described some of the women he has slept with. Why?

  • Most women, whether they realize it or not, elevate their opinion of a man if OTHER women want him too. The fact that other women are/have been attracted to a guy makes him "woman-approved" in her mind.

    Every guy can related to the fact that women NEVER hit on them - except when he's in a relationship, and then suddenly women pay him attention, and even offer sex sometimes. Why? Because women can tell when a guy has "female approval" and they are attracted to it - even if he's a dog and sleeps around.

    If I go to a bar or club or concert alone, or with other guys, women ignore me. If I go with a girl, I am constantly having other girls join the conversation or subtly hit on me or showing interest.

    I'm not saying that EVERY girl does this - but even if it's only 5% who do, that's still WAY higher than the 0% who respond positively to the average single, lonely guy. So, those guys are simply adopting a strategy that has proven to work - even if it doesn't work with every girl, it DOES have a success rate attached to it.

  • Glad you ask. Cause women now a days go with the some of the most stupidest, dumbest, jerks that is emotional unavailable, with no care in the world. if he showed her love when he felt like it. She'll melt. People say aww not all girls. That's not the point. Nice guys and good guys see this and we just shake our heads and let the guys brag. They brag cause it's like a game. It's fun being a player and women knows this. They know he tatted up with no emotion, be romantic when he feel like it. But yet... After he leaves a girl. Yeah he'll brag cause the girl was easy.

  • There is psychology behind it. I can't explain this. Anyway, I encountered a few men you described. I immediately cut them off. One of them got very upset because I rejected his invitations. I told him to get busy with women who chased him😁.

  • If someone brags it's because they aren't used to having it. They are insecure and feel the need to prove themselves worthy by bragging. It's very immature and arrogant if them. Who wants to be with an immature , insecure kid lol

  • he thinks that will make you more attracted to him, that you will want to sleep with him more. personally, i would drop that guy like a hot potato. i don't wanna imagine a dude i want having sex with other women. no thank you.

  • Somehow, they think that girls love that.
    Lol, I hate it when men do that. It takes points away from them.

  • From a relationship coaching perspective, this is generally tied to one of three things:

    1) He thinks it'll give you the impression that he's desired
    2) He doesn't think very highly of himself so he puts this out there to overcompensate
    3) He is arrogant and socially ignorant to how it comes across

  • VERY few guys brag about their sexual experiences. They don't usually talk about it at all. They keep that stuff private where it belongs. If a guy has a wife or girlfriend, it's just assumed they are having sex. There is no reason to talk about it.

    If a guy is a player, guys who known him well probably know it. But it's his business not theirs, and neither one talks about it.

    If it does come up, it tends to be very casual without a lot of details, and is almost never bragging. The kind of guy who brags about his sex life is probably a total douche bag who brags because he thinks it makes him cool.

  • He thinks that he gains value if the person in front of him knows his "achievements".

    • Self proclaimed achievements.

    • That is a big no no.

  • Cause he's an asshole. Don't 'e-date' him anymore. He is clearly a narcissist

  • Arrogent doos thats all it is a gentlemen never talks about stuff like that and always treats a lady with respect

  • it's so you think "I want a piece of that" although describing the women he fucked with is just retarded. If a girl told me what kind of stuff she has done in bed I would want to try it out with her but if she started describing the dudes to me I would just tell her to fuck off lol

  • I agree that he could be insecure / make you jealous, etc. If he's telling the experiences truthfully, he thinks these details will make you want to try some of these things with him.

    i. e. he's saying "I'm good in bed. Sleep with me."

    If he's spending a lot of time describing the women, rather than just the acts, he's trying to make you jealous. - Certainly insecure.

  • because he sees his sexual experience as something to be proud of a boast about. perhaps he thinks you'll be impressed or figure he is some sort of super stud

  • It's a way of filling up dead air with noise when you have nothing else of value to say.

  • he's showing off

  • because they take pride in it

  • You know its kiss and tell... That's his ego.

  • Sign of insecurity, he could be possibly compensating for something or in his head that is somehow supposed to impress you. Possibly even trying to make you jealous or trying to give you this idea that "he has other choices"

  • It's a sign that he is considered to be really desirable, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to casually hookup with so many women.

  • They are pigs and want to look cool

  • Because they think that, that way, they would get more.

  • so that you can call him a "stud" or a "cassanova" or a "sex god".

    • also because you don't think that he is a loser in bed.

    • Any guy who bragged online about his past sexual encounters and described some of the women he has slept with would automatically become a loser for me long before we met in person. I wouldn't be judging him in bed since we'd never come close to that.

    • @LindsayRB91rds I guess he doesn't know that 😜. But the thing is that there are many women online who want to know how much a man is desired by the opposite sex. Also , some women want to know whether he is a virgin loser before meeting him IRL

  • He's has insecurity issues and he thinks this will entice you. (plus he doesn't understand women at all)

  • Insecurity , no more to it!

  • Because for a guy its a big success to sleep with a lot of girls. So your question is basically "why do guys brag about being successful"
