I'm just interested to see if we can find a correlation between number of partners and philosophy/mentality.

Personally I have had 16 partners, all in the last 3 years. Before that I was an incel. Up until 26yo, I was very afraid of girls in a romantic way. I had no problem interacting with them on a casual basis, but I was so afraid of anything sexual or flirty. I felt inadequate.

After 1 partner, I felt like I maybe had a chance. After 5 I felt like a player, but also like an imposter. I still had a scarcity mentality. Now, I feel very confident around women, and I'm a flirt. I'm in a LTR so I don't partake anymore and I'm learning more about myself. But I feel that anything is possible when there are girls around and I love being around girls. It's a complete 180 from my incel days where I would dread this situation.

Wbu?
