Why do girls usually tend to hide and Guys want to show off how many people they have slept with?

I don't understand this concept in today's world. I know back in the day people were more narrow minded and judgemental but I think in today's world it should not be an issue at all. If a guy can't deal with the actual number then the girl should not even be with that guy in the first place. I have come across several women who just completely lie about this and significantly lower thier amount. Where as guys tend to hyper inflate the amount.

I don't think a woman should feel shameful or bad about the fact that they have had a relatively high amount of intimate partners in the past. It is the present that matters to me. In the end the truth always comes out one way or another so, I think it is always good to be honest from the start.

Everyone should just accept the fact that a partner has been with other people before you and leave it at that.

Women do not want to be viewed as a slut or "loose" or easy.
Men want to viewed as studs or experienced.

Just the way it is, in general.

It's just the rule of 3's:

If a man is telling you the number of women hes slept with, divide by 3.

If a woman is telling you how many men she's slept with, multiply by 3.

As shallow as it is, society still perceives women who have promiscuous sex as being sluts, which isn't generally a label anyone wants.

Kind of the same as why women are more openly gay than men are...
Women are more sensual and tender...sexually...
Guys tend to be more Macho and Rough...Bragging about their 'Conquests'..!!

hey girls, don't take the braggers and blow hards serious, most haven't haven't had sex in so long they have almost forgot what sex is.
the more they brag about it the less they are getting, they just want the girls to think they are hotshots.

I do believe this is a sort of a zoological matter.

As a practical matter, men want to know whom their children are, while women have no doubts.

This is the instinctive root of man's desire or demands for fidelity. yet in truth, (for whatever reasons) modern western society is a government enforced matriarchy with economic and financial incentives today.

I like cktoronto's rule of 3's. I think that is probably pretty accurate. Who cares anyway how many people someone has been with. As long as they were safe and are faithful to the one they are with now the number should not be an issue.

Women are only sluts when they allow people to use them ,they have no respect for their body or they feel like one. It has nothing to do with the actual number. Just like I think men become man whores when their number is high due to them being dishonest and manipulative to get sex. If they have been honest in their pursuits then they just have a healthy sexual appetite. Nothing to be looked down upon or applauded. It just is what it is.

society does have its inbalances or tend to be hypocritical.if a guy sleeps with 6 girls in a week hes a player or a baller or a real romeo .but if a woman sleeps around shes a whore which is sooooo wrong .your sexual appetite is not measured by gender .as long as you are safe in choosing partners .........

To be honest, I've never understood this need for people to know how many people someone has slept with. If the past is truly the past then why even bother talking about that? It really should have no bearing in your current relationship, unless of course there's a health risk involved that you need to know about.

First off it is absolutely no ones business how many people you have slept with! As for women not telling - who would want to put themselves out there to be held up to judgemental attitudes and Innuendo. A smart person never asks - it helps with the trust factor in a relationship!

I care about my partner's past. And I ask about it very early in the relationship.
Our past shapes our future.
Sex is a very sacred and intimate act to me, and I don't take it lightly.
I'd expect the same from my partners. Selective and responsible.
If she's slept with every walking stick out there, obviously she wouldnt be
a good match for me.

I have to say that I actually agree with Yarimelma because I too believe that our past is what makes us who we are today. I also believe that the ultimate foundation of any relationship is honesty and if person is too ashamed to reveal what they have done in the past then that itself creates doubt about that person and what kind of a person they are.

I do not buy into the notion that it is not right to ask how many intimate partners a person has had in the past. This is because if you are going to devote yourself fully and completely to a person then you have every right to know what they have been up to in the past. However, I do agree that we do not have the right to judge that person for what they have been but rather appreciate them for who they are now.

It would seem that you would judge them for not telling you but you wouldn't judge them if they did. If sex is so so personal and intimate then why do you have the right to know who they've shared that bond with? Yes our past does shape us into who we are today and that's who your with, the person they are today. Even as a partner you don't really have the "right" to know everything detail about someone's sexual past, unless, like I stated before it has health risks to you or causes emotional issues. (i.e. something traumatic happened to your partner). Consider it a gift if someone is willing to talk to you about their past exploits but by no means do you have any RIGHT to know.

No. I have every right to ask.
You have every right NOT to answer.
Then,
I have every right to assume the worst,
and walk away...

speaking of rights....

Uh Deerdog are you saying you've been raped?


ha ha yea it did look like i was saying that ...no t ment i have been forced to be chaste...aka couldnt get laid


If she's slept with every walking stick out there, obviously she wouldnt be


and why would that be ...do you not believe in change ...do you not believe in redemption ...have you never done anything you were ashamed of ...if i was promiscuous in my teens am i damaged goods now ... if i slept around in the past can i not be faithful now ......do we not learn from our mistakes????? or is there a statute of limitations om promiscuity.....if you truley believe this way ...so be it ...I believe with every moment we have the power to change if we have the will ....how can we judge what kind of person someone is by their past acts ? no mater how bad how can we say that we would have done any better if in their shoes at that time in their life ....its fine if you refuse to forgive someone that wrongs you ...thats your loss ....but how can any act done before she /he knew you be done against you

what is the limit on sexual partners ...when do i arive at the point where one more makes me a slut/ satar .....for the most part all the people i have slept with were one at a time ...and most of them were the one at that time ...why then do i owe you or anyone a count or a reason ...take me as i am or take your ass elsewhere

It is pathetic. I have never been one to hide who I am or how many I slept with .
I have slept with more than most .. do I care . Nope . I had fun , they had fun , no one was hurt , never got preggers, never got a STD ... had lots of fun and got my rocks off besides. Now why on earth would u want to be ashamed of that ???
Men are just twats and want a virgin in bed , until u get there , then they want the tiger . Sorry to tell the men , Tigers are made by experience as a rule , not many are born that way !

It's that retarded double standard. Men go around sleeping with a bunch of women, and sometimes are encouraged to do so to be viewed as studly and experienced, and when a woman tries to do the exact same thing, she's then viewed as a slut, a whore, nasty, dirty and immoral.
It's about time women turned this around. I enjoy sex as much as any man, and if someone wants to call me a name because of it, I'd just view them as jealous and intimidated and completely ignore what they have to say on the matter.

Its really about how you carry yourself.

Any guy can appreciate a sexually liberated woman if she carries herself with enough confidence, but many women sleep with many men for the wrong reasons, and develop unruly repuations as a result.

You know, sometimes my reason is a good as any other - just a good, well needed physical release.
