Why do women lie about how many sex partners they've had?whats so scary bout tellin the truth?

because they are afraid that wanker guys will think of them as sluts and yet these same wanker guys fu*k like a dunny door banging in a southerly wind...like I said hypocritical wankers!

its like age. for women, double the number they tell you. for guys, cut it in half.

Honestly is too hard for some people we must presume.

I would never admit to the count to any guy. The only ones that know are my two best friends. It just raises to many issues in the relationship later, Guys use it as ammunition in a fight & trows it back in your face, like he's any better.

It also depends on how much the woman trusts you to tell you the tructh. If she thinks you will judge her or think less of her shes not going to tell you the truth.

intimidation

Because there is a strong social prejudice to devalue a woman in direct proportion to the number of her sexual partners.

In evolutionary terms this makes sense in the days before contraception (including contraception by abortion or by the rhythm method). A promiscuous woman either has many children, in which case you don't want her because she will not have energy to spare for your children, or she has not had many children, in which case she is infertile or such a bad mother that she loses them, so again you don't want her as a partner.

In the days before medical treatment of STDs, a promiscuous woman was also more likely to be dangerous - though this applies to men as well, for whom the stigma is much lower.

In the days of reliable voluntary contraception, this is obsolete. But attitudes from past times have a very long lifetime.

Meh, I don't think I'd ask or care to know of a girl that I am with. It's none of my business, and I'd love her for who she is.

The amount of experience or lack of shouldn't matter.

Women are complicated creatures, lieing about things that they feel others will never know, means that they can just carry on lieing, the size of the pusy can give it away.

women are stupid to think that men will consider a loose women for anything meaningfull down the road . wwhen a girl f@#$%$ a guy she loses a piece of herself likewise for men. try to explain to your man how great a lover he is when he knows youve been around the block for no other reason than lack of common sense and maturity. he will always wonder if your telling him the truth. ladies, chances are your not than later you resent him assuming youve married him, and wonder what that old fling is up too.

my advice, dont rob yourself or your mate of what god intended for a man and a women and if its too late then lie about the details being truthfull only in generic terms " im not a virgin" and leave it be

I'm not a girl, but when a woman has a large number of partners it grosses me out. that's why i just don't ask, and if i like the girl i ask her not to tell me.

The reason that somebody would ask that is that they are wondering if they are part of a serious relationship or are they just playing the odds of becoming another notch. Don't lie about any sexual encounters or even flings, if they ask you might want to try side stepping and somehow later tell them to not ask questions that they might not want to know the answer to. A lie in any relationship comes out in time and usually when you really don't need it to. Especially if its about sex the next question would be "why did you need to lie to me". A lie in any case would not make anyone feel any better about there stance in a relationship. So to face facts, unless your a cold blooded man or woman bed slayer, or you just had a nasty break-up or you were raped and felt the unquenchable urge that your only good to F@#* real people living in the real world need to build a relationship on a solid foundation, and nothing better to start with than honesty. REMEMBER if you are even 1% sure you don't want to hear the answer DO NOT ask the question.

I believe that women do lie about how many men they slept with because when a man sleeps with a lot of women they are stories that he tells all his friends. They are trophy's on the wall to men. When women sleep with a lot of guys they were trying to find connections or just plain having fun and enjoying their youth. Women don't tell their sex stories like men do (maybe to their BFF). Women are considered sluts when they have been with a lot of men, and women don't want that kind of labeling. Men are proud if they are players or pimps. That's my own theory on the subject.

they simply lie because they dont want their partner to feel that they had less experience especially when it is only their 2nd or 3rd time engaging in sex. and i think that some men take some women for granted especially when they were the one who divrginizd the girl.. they can actually threat the girl of leaving them.. so some girls just pretend of having many sexual experiences so that even if men would take them for granted,.. they can still say " hu cares if u leave me.. uv just filled in the 30th place in the list" ^__^

Girls lie about their number. Women don't. If the person cannot own up to their number, she should have kept her panties on and read a book instead. The is nothing wrong or slutty about being sexually active she is responsible. What's appalling is lying about it when pointed asked for an honest answer. If she lies about something that she willingly consented to what else will she lie about? Own your number, gain respect for your honesty. If the guy is turned off find someone else to date. Offer to go together to get tested as well. It will show your level of maturity and put his mind at ease. Now if the receptionist at the local clinic knows your name when you two walk thru the clinic door...you are on your own with that one!

because of the double standard...men are cool is they bed lots of women while women are sluts if they do the same...and also is that anyone's business how people you sleep with before them??!! why would you need to know that??

well alot of guys dont really want to know and it can make them look "slutish" if they have had alot of "sexual encounters"

The reason is that for guys is hard work to get laid- even a good looking,young,rich,charming guy gets tons of rejection.
Women can get laid anytime,anywhere-(maybe not with a specific guy).no matter how fat, poor she is. If you doubt this have a girl blow kisses and strangers and see how many of those stranger come over to girl- then do same experiment with guy-see how fast he will get arrested. So the point is that since is so easy for women the hard part is to have low number of sex partners- for guys hard part is to have high numbers (paying for sex and getting girls drunk should not count-since illegal and immoral)

a woman wouldnt say the truth about that because she doesnt want to sound like she doesnt know how to do things or she doesnt want to sound like slut

I've lied both ways - once I increased the number to make me look more experienced than I was, and I made it too high so I looked kinda slutty. And once I decreased the number because the guy had married his high school sweetheart and his number was WAY low, but the number was still a bit on the high end because apparently I went through a bit of a loose phase in college so once again I ended up looking like a bit of a slut. Moral(immoral?) of the story? There really is no reason to discuss the numbers, but if you do, be honest. If the guy can't handle it, he can't handle you...

Girls don't want to say why because the more they had, the looser the vagina is. That's why its such a big deal. Guys do not have a member that can be affected by the number of people they have been with (besides diseases) . On the other hand, girl's member can be stretched and distorted. Yea they can do kegal exercises, but it will never return to what it once was.
