Why would a guy make sure to tell me he had many women?

[Anonymous]

I was in a casual relationship with this guy for nearly two years. Currently we are friends. He got mad when I told him he is a bit inexperienced in life, never having been through any real hardship. He instantly made sure to tell me he had many women throughout the years. Why would he even react like this? Why would he be so keen on letting me know he had lots of women when I wasn’t even talking about that at all?

Because he consider himself a Gigolo, a Fuck boy, he wants to "pressure" you in to "begging him" not to leave you, His Ego is bigger than his brains...🤦‍♂️, Lots of Red flags...

[DishLady]

It's so you know he's "a stud." Some guys do that... You'll be talking about music or a movie or something... and the subject of "oh, that reminds me of a girl I went out with" and POP! From there conversation may turn to...

Bragging or some kind of odd insecurity.

[tzdc21]

To make himself seem more desirable. See many guys struggle to be with one woman, so if he is able to be with multiple then it means he is experienced and has something going for him.

[Surely]

You hurt his feelings by saying that he was inexperienced. So he was trying to prove that he had experienced by telling you how many women he was with. Apparently none of them taught him anything!

I was specifically talking about homelessness, so why say something like that?

[Surely]

So, Miss Anonymous! Where in your question is the reference to homelessness? Not a mind reader.

[Asker]

Question details specified hardship. Which is what was talked about.

[AviatorTom]

You attacked him by saying he's inexperienced and he defended himself by telling you about his past exploits. Itsa perfectly normal human reaction to defend oneself when attacked.

[OfMiceandMen]

Not sure, what he's talking about has no relevance to what you were saying. His sexual escapades have no bearing on his overall life experience.

[Avicenna]

He's trying to show he isn't inexperienced

[Asker]

But why get mad? And I wasn’t even talking about sexual experiences, I was talking about homelessness.

[Asker]

And by making that comment, he really only proved my point.

[ProbablyClueless]

I think it's supposed to be a flex. Like trying to tell you that he's desired by other women.

[handsomelad70]

To attempt to make you belive hew's a stud who can get any woman, and you'd better jump through hoops to get and keep him.

[RedInnocent69]

He thinks you’ll think he must be good in bed. Some girls see success by proxy.

[Asker]

He isn't good in bed. Very selfish and inconsiderate.

[Ladsin2]

Based on the story because women are his hardship

[Asker]

He’s very selfish and not all that good in bed, which is a shame because he could easily be great if only he cared to.

You got to let her know what she's up against. Just say, "thank you".

[Asker]

What do you mean, up against?

[Opinion Owner]

You're not his first rodeo.

[Asker]

Why would he even say something like that? I was talking about hardship in life like homelessness.

[Opinion Owner]

You said he was a bit inexperienced in life. Next time be specific. He can't read your mind.

[Asker]

I had been talking to him about homelessness specifically. So why jump to sexual experiences? Doesn’t make sense at all.

[Opinion Owner]

I can't answer that. Clearly you did something to suggest something else. Are you socially retarded? There are a lot of women that are socially retarded.

[Asker]

Maybe I am. But I specifically mentioned homelessness, which he never experienced. Pretty far fetched jumping from that to sex, at least in my book. Do you think there’s any particular reason he would do that?

[Opinion Owner]

It's simple yet complex. Simple in the fact that men and women do this. Complex in the sense that it's not just anyone (well some men, and some women). But that's my point. I concede the possibility that he did this without ANY prompting. But that is not the norm. And I wasn't there. So I never saw what you did to potentially instigate this. Because so many of your gender plays this game with men. And on this site that number of women that do rises exponentially. So once again this is a mathmatical probability. So once again. You're either baiting him and feigning ignorance or you are just socially retarded. You decide which. I really don't care.

[onedarkcloud]

It was just like kicking him in the balls with that statement OPEN MOUTH AND INSERT BOTH FEET!!!

[noohair]

You poked at his male ego. He had to project manhood.

[itsannalee]

Because he is insecure.

[RavVid]

You did say he was inexperienced.

[Asker]

In a certain context, namely having been through hardship.

[Jay-_-]

I don't know I find it weird

[ohmyguy]

To warn you to date him at your own risk

[In_Trance]

I guess he felt like you needed to know

[spartan55]

He lies.

[Anonymous]

He is still too immature.
