Getting MAD is clearly inappropriate and someone to avoid like the plague. But it does make sense to back off and invest your energy elsewhere when you’re rejected. In general, men are looking for their person. They believe that higher body count means you’re less likely to be faithful (not sure if I buy that & it’s not a universally held belief), but also that if you’re really into him, you’ll WANT to sleep with him fairly soon (which is true). And if you’re not, there’s 4 billion women in the
It’s frustrating, but does make sense. He wants to marry the girl who’s a whore for HIM, and not for everyone else. He wants to be special to his woman, not just the next guy on her list. Then again, if you’re NOT wifey material, he may still want to sleep with you, but just won’t care as much (on either end)
You don’t know that; they could be lying about their high body counts. They’re men, men lie upward, not downward. Also, it’s not hypocritical because, again, they’re men and there are good reasons for that double-standard. Men have to put effort into getting laid, and it’s expected of them (halo/wedding-ring effect plus women are repelled by the stench of a dry-streak). Plus it means less for men bc they don’t normally reserve it for the women they like best/are most attracted to.
