Yet women do lie about their sexual history. They even lie about it in anonymous surveys. They lie about it to guys, especially to guys they want to be in a relationship with. This seems especially puzzling.

Why does a girl want to be with someone who is disgusted by her?

Or is it the understanding that every guy would be disgusted, so there is no choice but to lie?

Make it make sense.

And then there's the "don't ask don't tell" crowd. If sexual history is so obviously no big deal except for the pitiable insecures, then why does it have to be hidden away in the closet like a state secret?

This is all nonsense that people use to tolerate settling and living a mediocre life of bland compromise. Anyone else exhausted being so much better than people
