Technically there should be no difference between a woman's numbers and a guys. You should only concern yourself with 1)if they are STD free and 2)how they like it:P The trouble with that is that they decided "how they like it" on someone else's bed. | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/15/2008 5:22:22 PM | It isn't "okay" for guys to have gotten laid a lot in the past. I think maybe there's some underlying social pressure to forgive that, but political correctness has never been an influence on that at all.
If a woman has had some past lovers, no, I don't think it's "okay" to think she was a slut.
For both guys and girls, it depends on the timeline of "past". If "past" you mean 3 months ago, yeah, that's going to play a role more than 8 years ago.
And it's not just a number, it's a 'who' when it comes to recent past. If her number is "high", and her last two boyfriends were in jail -- yeah -- that high number is going to be thrown at her. If her number is high but that was back in the day (years ago; college; etc), then it shouldn't be that big of a deal if she's got her life together. A clue as to whether a woman has her life together does reflect who her last boyfriend or two was like on a general scale. | |

First, the number in itself isn't so important, but rather the timline/timeframe of accumulation of partners that's alarming.
Someone will have every right to find out any indication about someone living a promiscuous lifestyle or serious one, based on past experience.
If you've slept with five men last year or last week, I'm quite sure you'll come across different facial expressions.
If you're involved with someone you feel strongly about, and the question is asked, just answer it to the best of your ability and go from there, don't harp over it
And if asked why, stop the bs......you'll gain more respect being honest
And no, there isn't a double-standard
I find it funny that women have reached out to find how promiscuous some/many men can be, and overlook trying to mimic men in other aspects of life
what happened to my "chivalry"? | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 3:59:32 AM | The only reason I can think of as to why a man would be judgmental over something like this would be because he has insecurity issues about being compared to other men.
I look at it this way... If you were on a car lot looking to get a car, you would look at all the cars and get it down to about 2 or 3 that were in great condition. So, let's say you find the best cars to be a Ford station wagon, a Chevy van, and a Ferrari. All three are in great condition just the Ferrari has many more miles on it than the others. I'd be leaving that lot in the Ferrari. It would only make sense to me that such a great car was driven a lot. The last thing on my mind would be the other owners. I mean, DAMN! The only thing on my mind would be this is one hell of a great car. She’s so beautiful, so fast, feels so good. I love being seen with her and love being in her. Now if I were a total idiot, I guess I might walk off the lot without the Ferrari in hopes that I might find a lower mileage one for sale by some little old lady for the same price. Yeah, like that’s going to really happen. | |

If their experiences have made them better for them, great. If they want to bring it into play, I'm open. As long as they are clean, monogamous, and willing to at least consider a long-term commitment, that's what counts. | |

Who says that? I can't recall reading any female profiles that request guys with a lot of "experience". I think women would prefer the opposite.
if we say we had some past lovers you think we are sluts., and not worthy for a relationship?
If you've had 236 different d!cks in your mouth during a dating career of only 10-15 years, then it seems that YOU don't believe you're worthy of a relationship.
dont ask me about how many. The numbers should not matter.
I agree. Some books are best left on the shelf. Thanks for not asking me either.
i can't stand men who judge women like that.
Ah yes, the feminine view of accountability... | |

Most of the men who are the most successful with women and dating have slept with hundreds of women, so judging by women's actions, it looks like it's OK for guys to have gotten laid a lot. | |

i do ask women how many they have been with. but i never see it as a bad thing. i would rather she has been with a lot of men.
So I get that to be a rather self-serving statement. Ummm Are you typing this in the hopes that women(especially the ones who will hop into bed easily) will go out with you. I have never in my life met a man who would admit to such a statement. So it's possibly either self-serving or you are genuinely a submissive person. Then again, perhaps you're looking for a woman with low self-esteem herself. We know that the numbers of partners a woman has does little to make her a better lover. A woman can be a great lover after only one partner, or she can be absolutely dreadful in bed after dozens of guys. | |

To take your analogy a few steps further. The Chevy or the Ford is likely to be more reliable than the Ferrari. The Chevy is less likely to break down on you. (hahhhaa to Ford owners) The Ferrari is more likely to be stolen and driven by others after you. The Ford or the Chevy will cost you a lot less in the long run for maintenance. When the Ford or the Chevy have problems, they're less likely to require a visit to a specialist. The more owners the less likely the body and upholstery will be in good condition. The Ferrari will cost you more for insurance in case she gets driven by others without your permission. Your friends are less likely to want to borrow the Ford or the Chevy for the evening. And finally, as you tool down the street with it, show her off to your friends, they're likely to ask "Hey, isn't that Joe's Ferrari? Him and his buddies used to drive that thing pretty hard. They really loved to open her up." | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 9:34:34 AM | I was thinking of creating a mathematical formula to assess the numbers.
I think a lot of former partners isn't good for either sex, but I do understand that men commonly assess a woman on her past experiences differentially to his own...likely based in instinct like women wanting men who are popular, even if the man has many other women.
Instead of the formula, consider the following, and to make it easy, let's consider a 1 year total past:
1) she was with one guy for 10 months then slept with 2 guys as one-night stands in the remaining two months and says she had good intentions of wanting a relationship with these two guys despite rushing into it.
2) single for 11 months then went crazy and hung out at a bar for a week and bagged 20 men.
3) ended a relationship in first month. Started a new relationship right away and ended in same month. Went from guy to guy, having two week to 1 month affairs, with not even a single day of being single.
How would men (and women) consider each of the three scenarios above? To me, there's more beyond the numbers...before I give my analysis, I'd like to hear what others have to say. | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 9:49:56 AM | ^^^^ I can see merit in your way of thinking. We have to look beyond raw numbers. Sometimes a woman will have casual sex with a man and in her mind he doesn't really count.

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 10:08:54 AM | It's not the amount of partners you had that make you a slut to a man. It's how open you are about it, that does. Well, at least to me.
Keep the amount of partners to yourself. Hell. Lie about it(If you've had 10 partners, to the guy, you've had 2. Didn't your mother teach you anything?). It's none of the guy's business, anyway. Only way it would be, is if you had an STD. Still, the amount is none of his business.
I've been with women I knew were promiscuous, but they never ever shed light on how many partners. The amount of partners doesn't make you non-classy.
On the other hand, i've known women who were extremely candid about having 20 partners or more. I'll let you guess which ones I thought were easy and sluts.
A woman who's got a big mouth about something that personal, isn't worthy of a relationship to me. It's the type of woman you'll just want to sleep with, and get rid of.
Remember. Freak in the sheets. Lady in the streets. (And I don't believe in that double standard BS. It's not a double standard). | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 10:45:38 AM | Well, I wouldn't, but if she had kids by those past lovers it probably would make me head for the exit that much quicker.
Also, I'd probably have concerns if she might have picked up an STD or two from those multiple lovers/boyfriends as well, same should go for women as well.
I mean if you can fill up Madison Square Garden with your past lovers, I'd definitely think twice about getting with someone, but that's just my outlook on it. | |

Gotapulse....Some of my female friends and I refer to them as Whore Masters--the men who will sleep with anyone.....Personally, this girl prefers to stay away from the sort of man that has high numbers......because I tend to be very picky about who I share my body with.

Well, I wouldn't (judge women by their number of past lovers), but if she had kids by those past lovers it probably would make me head for the exit that much quicker. I feel the opposite. The more children a woman has had, and the more men she's had them by, particularly if the fathers are wealthy and high status, the more attraction I feel for her, all other things equal. Possibly I subconsciously believe her daughters are more likely to be successful reproducers. | |

Any man or woman that ask "How many loves you have had?" Are plain and simple IMMATURE IDOITS!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh, nothing like generalizing. Ok.... My turn at generalizing..... Any man or woman who is afraid of revealing their true numbers, is actually aware that their numbers are plain and simple WAY TOO HIGH!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Misspelling IDIOTS as IDOITS is hysterically revealing! hahahahaha | |

| why do most men judge women by their number of past lovers? Posted: 3/16/2008 12:33:59 PM | Why would anyone care how many lovers a woman you're "dating" or considering "dating" has had?
The bottom line, if you're going to play with multiple partners simply obtain testing on a quarterly or bi yearly basis etc. We're talking testing for STD's as well as for HIV and don't forget to always do the "sniff test" before indulging.
If you even think there maybe a possible problem, hold all play dates and immediately see your gynecologist or your Urologist.
Prevention...........Change you're oil every 3,000 mile and get tested regularly. Take better care of your private (or publics) then what you do you're vehicle. | |
