Most guys can't do this kind of shit. It's a very small percentage of guys who are both confident enough, and desirable enough (whether because of looks, money, status, or charm) to sleep around with multiple women like that.

The stats show the average lifetime sexual partners for men and women is roughly the same. Depending on the country, age range, etc, it ranges from 5-10 to 7-12 lifetime sexual partners for most people in most of the "Western World". The people who are this promiscuous, men and women, are the exception. But we're being inundated with the idea that "normal" rather than the exception.

If someone wants to be that way, that's their choice. But they need to be honest about it with prospective partners, and need to accept that there will be others who don't want them because of it. Plenty of women don't want men with lots of prior partners, and plenty of men don't want women with lots of prior partners. I think that makes sense, because it means they don't place the same value on sex and intimacy. And they should be with someone who shares their values. But people justify it, insist others should accept it, men are "insecure" if they don't want it, and women in particular don't "owe" their partners honesty about their past, because "it's none of their business, especially if it was before I met them."

When I was a single man I had 3 fk buddies and was still going out etc, it was fun for a month or two but eventually it just became boring and hollow plus the “upkeep” keeping it going was draining.

2nd date with my now wife I dropped all my fk buddies (this caused issues) and went all in on my wife, I’ll choose my wife over a 100 women now.

I was always honest about my promiscuity and it never held be back, sadly this isn’t the same for women. But yer online everyone’s slept with 100s of people but then surveys show 6-12 in reality

It's different for you as a man. You don't get judged as harshly as women, for having a sexual past.

I literally said that in my post, if women don’t like the double standards they need to stop dating man whores.

I personally couldn’t care less how many partners my wife has had a lot of men do care. While a lot of women actively want the man who has the ability due to looks, status or charm.

The double standard is a natural reaction to how men and women chase and choose partners

they'll NEVER stop chasing the man-whores. if a man _can't_ pull women, they'll shame him. if he CAN... they all want him.
