Piggyback to "What's your number?" by lizzardb63

Do women lie about their number? I say men do. Most men. And I say men increase theirs to their buddies. Personally I am not proud of mine so I hide it from my SO. I would guess that woman lie as well. But I think many round Down. It seems no one is ever over 5-7. And MY SOs are always like 3, haha. This Can't be the case. Well, I mean it CAN but I know there are some out there that are 15-20 and then some. So considering this is anonlymous, what's the real deal ladies? Not saying YOU are not being honest but do you think most women hide the truth?

The truth? I haven't counted. Have no real idea, just a ball park idea.
As to why women would round down? That's simple. Men who have had a lot of partners still get the 'boys will be boys', 'sowing his wild oats', 'what a stud', responses. Women who have had a lot of partners are still often seen as Hos.

OOoo I just don't think women/girls keep score like a guy would, sex to me was never a conquest like it is to guys.

And who wants to been seen as a S**t

Nah... I really don't see a reason to lie about it. Some people are surprised to hear that I only had one sexual partner (which recently went up to 2), sometimes I feel weird about it because some women my age and younger have had a handful of partners or more, and I didn't lose my virginity until I was almost 20. But then I pass it off as a good thing... I'm just weary of some guys and very careful about not wanting to get pregnant or catch something, and I can control my impulses. That's not anything I should hide or be ashamed of.

LOL. Kristalin you really brought out the catch 22 for women. If you have a healthy sex interest and have indulged it, you are a HO. If you haven't had many partners or are a virgin (not for religious reasons) there must be something wrong with you.
You can't win with that reasoning.

**kristalyn_04** · 10-02-2010 02:01 PM

Haha well, I don't think I'm a Ho and I don't think there's something wrong with me either, so that's really what matters and to h*** with what everyone else thinks. People can judge me if they want, I don't care. My point was, I'm honest about my number of partners because I have no reason not to be.

Typically the terms Ho and s**t pop up in the younger aged groups. If you are in your mid 20's and have already lost count then people, especially in the same age group, are quickly going to be calling you the words. You enter a club for example to "have fun", plenty of people again know that the objective in those scenarios are either grind to the point where you might as well be having sex right there on the floor with a random person, or wait until you can get another person to go home with at night to put another tick on the numbers score. Its just the numbers game or for the attention when you are that age, once you are older people may consider it as experience. But in those exact moments racking up those numbers the name calling is absolutely everywhere.

They say this for men and women... It kind of sounds like bull*** but at the same time I think it might be true to some degree.

Take the number of partners men say they've had and divide it by 3.
Take the number of partners women say they've had and multiply it by 3.

I think both sexes lie about it. I for one don't. I don't care. Call me what you like. I'm a power woman.

Someone once described it to me like this: A key that opens many locks is the Master Key, but a lock that is opened by many keys is a useless lock. Which makes sense if we were talking about actual locks and keys, but I think it's bull when talking about men and women.

I think its the catch 22, girl are seen as dirty and men can brag themselves up. I have 5 and i will admitt that to anyone. When I met my ex though I was with 2 before him and for some reason I lied and said 1. Mainly because he was a virgin and didnt know what he would think of me if he really knew. I dont see the point lying about it anymore. WE're all adults and it happens.
