Why do some guys do this?
Why do men care about your body count but they don’t want you to know theirs?
Why do some guys do this?
Look it’s really obvious.
He doesn’t want you to think 1) he can’t get laid, 2) hasn’t had many past sexual partners.
This next thing I’m going to tell you may come as a shock. Make sure you’re sitting down. Ready?
It is much, much, much harder for a man to get sex than it is for a woman. Much harder. So much harder that you can’t even fathom it.
Meanwhile you could hang a sign around your neck and say “open for business” and you WOULD have to beat the men off of you.
Getting sex for a man is HARD. Sure sometimes it just falls in your lap, but no, you usually have to work for it. And fail.
So it isn’t at all uncommon for men to exaggerate their sexual partners. Why? Maybe they are a virgin or only had sex with two or three girls. Maybe. You could think he’s a loser. That he’s not experienced enough or know what he’s doing.
Meanwhile what’s the rule that guys say for women?
”Take whatever number she tells you and triple it.”
Why?
Because women don’t want to be thought of as being loose or promiscuous, so they under-report their numbers. Or it “didn’t count” for reasons x, y, or z. And as I already mentioned, women have far, far more opportunities to have sex with guys who hit on them than the other way around.
So there is a disparity he is concerned with: he has to look experienced enough to “prove” that he can get laid by more than one woman to you, but not look like a f-kboy who sleeps around. And he also can’t have a body count that is too different from yours.
And THAT is why he responded the way he did.
Absolutely correct. I've never had sex but that's because I don't want to. Most girls aren't going to like being with a man who doesn't have sex. So I swore off all women and I've found in happier after having done that.
But i don’t feel like he’s a virgin because he basically dumped me …. when i said i wanted to wait until “marriage”…. I think he wasn’t interested or he just didn’t like my personality idk…
He said he didn’t want to invest if we weren’t going to eventually be intimate but he also said he wasn’t ready for a relationship… so I feel played and rejected
He doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t get options.
Because they are immature, believe social media too much, they think of a number and ask without thinking they also will be asked. They then either come clean and it’s really low or they don’t know. The entire thing is stupid and pretty much a red flag if asked, that’s the ‘not making it to next date stage’ , a bit like asking sexual stuff on first date.
It doesn't matter why. It's a belief system. It's a very old one. Men are shamed for not having sex and women are shamed for having sex. None of it is rooted in logic. The real enemy is poor thinking. We all know these beliefs are dumb so let's stop thinking and acting like we believe in them so we can rewire ourselves.
Because they know it would make them look stupid if they're concerned with someone else's body count when they themselves have been extensively pre-owned. Fortunately, it is not very many men who are like that.
They would be forced to realize their own beliefs are dumb and nobody likes that feeling.

Those guys are selfish, I think body count matters for both genders. I will want to know any girls that I date and I will share mine. If someone asks you for it they need to be able to share theirs
Because this guy on a date asked when I was last intimate but when I asked him he just looked away and did a low breathy laugh… when I ask about his roster ect… he just avoids it
Which makes no sense…. Is he jealous or he’s trying to make me jealous because he gets “action”…?
I don’t care personally. Pretty sure because most guys are judgmental and shallow so they typically want girls with less partners.
If the guy doesn’t want to tell you his it’s most likely because it’s low in comparison.
I think many of them are insecure that theirs is lower than yours so they dont want to tell either
He was making it seem like he gets action.
She’s right
But how he went about it kind of made me seem like he gets action
For the same reason when someone sells their old car and buys a new one, they tend to hide the flaws in the car they are selling so they can get as much for it as possible, but they want to know as much as they can learn about the new one before deciding if they want to buy it.
It matters for both but men are being told theirs matters less. It doesn't theirs just has less severe problems physically. Reality is both men and women's body count very much matters
My advise is don't ask a question unless you are prepared for the answer.
I'm fine telling.
I don't know the exact number, but it is pretty high.
I have no idea why ANYONE would balk at this q. Just ask at an appropriate time in our begining of getting to know you. I think the higher the better tbh
Because he's either a virgin or has only had sex with one or two women.
Men do not have an exclusive franchise on applying double standards.
Body count tend to be more important to men so they might not be used to being asked.
I have no problem telling women my body count... none have ever asked.
It’s to hide their insecurities. Body count isn’t important
What insecurities are we talking about?
Any that they have. When they avoid answering that question they are hiding things. Otherwise they would just say the number. As I said BC isn’t a big deal. It’s more about who the person is today
Okay but what could they be hiding?…. I’m lost
Like maybe he’s really not getting any or he has a fwb… I’m confused on that
Maybe he’s a virgin and worried you will reject him. Maybe he’s been a slut for 10 years and thinks you will judge him. Maybe he’s only had sex 3 times and worried you will think he’s a bad lover. Want me to go on?
Obv if he’s asking about BC and the roster then he’s been consuming bad podcasts and needs to learn more about successful relationships. But you know that right
I was the one asking about the roster thing because I’m insecure and I want to be the only one he talks to.
You have been on one date. You can’t expect him to only be talking to you
Just like he assumes you are talking to others. Until you agree to a commitment is open season on dating
Tell that to my friends and family. If you think you can make friends online then good luck. You gotta see someone and interact to build up trust.
It’s ironic an anon attacks me.
It’s ok. You will keep being upset at me. I even asked when you will be over it and you didn’t answer. So it’s nothing I can change
They are embarrassed because their body count is very low and yours is 10 times as much.
Women don't want to talk about their body count because it's too high. Men don't want to talk about their body count because it's too low.
Exactly
Maybe I am weird, but in person I have never asked nor been asked about body count. It is only online.
Because a man's doesn't really matter. A woman's does.
I don't care about it if a woman wants to know she can ask me and if I want to know I would ask her, but i am not really interested in knowing.
Guys that care you should avoid real ones only care about right now.. besides a girl that gives me a high number is a keeper that means she is honest..
I personally don't care if anyone knows mine. Proof right here. vvvvv
Body count:0
Because after so many guys a woman is INCAPABLE of being to a man. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
Bonding* not being.
