Okay but what if she hasn't been promiscuous in like 20 years or something? Everyone is ignoring the points I made in my earlier comment.

Nobody cares because that would mean she's at least in her 40s, which means she's past her so-called "peak market value" and not eligible for consideration anyway.

I was watching an episode of Love Island last night. One 25 y.o. Guy said he had about 400 partners, the other attractive men weren’t surprised at all, one of them agreed. (some of them were like Instagram models or whatever). One said he had sex with five women in one night...meanwhile the women on the island were all looking at each other in horror. I don’t think they were just pretending either. So....what about men? They seem to have more, is that good or bad?

400? Someone needs to tell that man that there is more to life than having sex. I've never had any sexual partners. I'm fine with that. I have better things to do.

They were probably shocked at how easily he could lie.

No really! There are some very attractive men who, if they could have sex with three or four different women a week for a few years, would actually partake in this. I just think it’s more likely that a man would, Moreso than a very attractive woman with the same opportunities.

Well, there are plenty of things a man or woman can do than pursue sex every day. I never said they wouldn't try to pursue it. I am saying there are better things to do. 400 sex partners is basically promiscuity.

The answer will determine how they deal with it, and if it can be resolved. Some people won't be able to get past it and some won't give a rip.

Either way, in this case he has an insecurity he has to address.
If he 1) feels like he hasn't slept with "enough" people or that he has any right or reason to judge that she has slept with "too many", then she should thank goodness she knows he is NOT relationship material.

Yes, well, he's not right now. That is the point of the column.

Was it the same guy you thought of or was it multiple guys you were thinking of?
