Me ‘M27’ discussed with my gf ‘F25’ who many people we've slept with. She didn’t seem pleased with my result

We've been together now for 6 months + and we had a conversation recently about how many people we've slept with. I was her first which she didn't tell me which got me by surprise as I wasn’t aware of it. When I told her that I only slept with 1 person before her whilst I have been in a few relationships in the past I still only had slept with 1 person she seemed surprised but more like disappointed surprised by how low it was. She said oh i thought yours would be allot higher.

I thought she would be quite happy that it had only been 1 since I had chosen to be careful with who I sleep with considering a majority of my guy mates body count is 10+ at our age.

I did tell her that it seemed like you are disappointed with it but then she gave the oh no I respect that you've only been with 1 person and I am pleased.. it felt more like she was just saying that only because I asked about it and this wasn't her first response, didn't feel like an honest answer abit like a cop out answer.

My question is, do women find a guy who hasn't slept with many women unattractive? I've had multiple opportunities to mess around but I chosen not to as for me those aren't my values and morals. Seems like this choice might come off unappreciated and unattractive now.
Any thoughts on this?

Body count is so awful! What's wrong with men or women I've slept with?

Body count is actually pretty appropriate! V common with my dd and her friends (Uni age).

This is why you should never discuss numbers, its never a good idea. I've never been directly asked, and if I was I would never say as it's noone else's business.
We could get a post from your GF next saying " BF seemed surprised and disappointed that he was my first".
Get your communication better between you, while you should not have been discussing numbers as such, it's a bit odd of her to mention months down the line you're her first rather than on the night. That's info for you that may have been good to know at the time.

Women find men who call it a "body count" unattractive 🤮

I am an old person and have been married over 30 years. the one thing I have learned during this time is NEVER ask your partner a question that you dont want to hear the answer to. I have no idea how many partners he had before me and he has no idea on my number either. Its irrelevant.

Tanyahawkes · 06/05/2024 00:25

I think most people seem to confuse number of sexual partners with experience, for instance one person may have slept with say 10 people over the course of 20 years, their partner may have slept with one person in 20 years. If the person who slept with only one was in a 20 year relationship they may actually be more experienced than somebody who has 10 quick bunk ups and didn’t get to learn about the other people’s likes and dislikes.

body count is actually an amusing way of saying it, to me anyway, but I have the humour of a teenager 🤣

Honest answer is that I'd think you had some kind of issues if at 27 you've only slept with one other person despite being in a few relationships.

But I wouldn't have an issue with a number being low at all. I'd prefer that. It's being in relationships and not having sex that would be odd to me.

body count what a disgusting and derogatory term to use OP for someone so keen to profess their values and morals

Best not to have this conversation but if you must I read once that the correct answer is always three.
