Why do guys brag about the number of girls they've slept with?

[kcmogirl]

Why would a guy tell a new girl about all the girls he's slept with in all different countries (military job, so travels a lot).

 

I figure it's either to seem really cool and like lots of people want him and he's really experienced and trying to impress the girl (which, um NO?!)

 

OR

 

To let a girl know she's going to be just one of the names in his little black book and he just likes to sleep with people and never see them again.

 

What do you guys think? Mind you this topic came up once, drunkenly. Not a regular topic of conversation, although that might not even matter.

Yeah, so if one single woman happens to tell me she loves to queef, I don't come on here with a generalized, "Why do women like to talk to me about queefing? To impress me? I THINK NOT!"

 

In your case, why this one guy talked like this to you could come down any number of reasons, though most likely the fact he's an arrogant jerk and was being drunkenly honest about it.

Because he's a jerk? lol

Not every man is like that. Some people just like to brag about their conquests to feel like they are hot s***.

You just tell those people to have a good day and keep it pushing.

Both, usually. Bravado and warning.

Jman hook me up! That's exactly what I've been looking for in a woman now that I'm single.

He doesn't want to hold secrets to people he cares about.

 

That can be one of many excuses. The most obvious one is that he was drunk and wasn't really thinking.

 

I would give him another chance.

I don't think that the queefing analogy is a good one because 1) all women queef sometimes, involuntarily; 2) I've never ever witnessed a woman bragging about how she queefs or keeping track of her queefs. Men who keep track of how many women they sleep with and brag about it are more common than you'd want it to be. My ex kept a list (he was in the military, something similar, lots of these people didn't have names but were listed as 'Thailand 1, Thailand 2').

 

Regardless, I don't think it's as common as some women say it is. Most men don't do this. The ones that do are probably ones you'd rather keep at arm's length.

Why do you care? Don't talk to him anymore or ignore it. Or be a smartass and tell him how many guys you have slept with - and if you have slept with girls too throw that in there. Maybe you slept with more. Or lie and say you did to mess with him.

 

Not all guys do that and some girls brag about their number of sexual partners too.

Did you ask him how many women he's slept with? If you did you should thank him for being honest because then you can make an informed decision as to whether to continue on with whatever it is you are in with him or not.

 

So: Did you ask him how many women he's slept with or did he just volunteer that information? If he volunteered it then I suspect he thought you would think him to be worth going to bed with if so many other women have helped him to hone his craft.

The same reason girls sometimes do - insecurity and trying to make others think they're more desirable than they are. Also immaturity plays a factor as well, I think. As you get older you realize that doesn't matter regardless, it's like announcing how many shoes you ever purchased. It pretty much means nothing set against a life full of far more important and bigger things.

 

Yawn, roll your eyes, walk away.

[Matt3939]

Yea it might be like when a girl tells her guy. I can get anyone in here. I say go right ahead cause now I have no desire to be with you. Haha

[Knot2loud]

Yep... Jerk. You can add the word "idiot" too.

 

I think people should make it a practice not to tell and not to ask about prior sexual encounters. Doing so can really open up a big fat can of worms.

[HeartGoesOn]

My guess is, in their little mind they feel they've reached celebrity status.

 

Attractive...No, Pathetic...Yes.

one of my buddies has the entire list on his phone, lol. I couldn't care less about the #. sure I remember the woman but just in memory. not all guys are this way.
