CMV: Studs often end up dating sluts.

In regards to the Slut and Stud double standard TRPers always tell us that it isn't a double standard because it's a fact that women don't care about the sexual past of their partners and that no high value man would date a slut.

Well I'm here to claim that this is merely solipsism because they base their ideas on how promiscuous men think on what they would do if they were higher value, but not on how those men actually think. And that they base their ideas on what women want on their assumptions and not on reality.

Well let's take a look at some of the available data.

• The willingness of both genders to date someone with a promiscuous past follows the same pattern.

But

The aim of this study was to explore how people’s sexual history affects their attractiveness. Using an Internet survey, 188 participants rated their willingness to engage in a relationship with a hypothetical individual with a specified number of past sexual partners, ranging from 0 to 60+. The effect of past partner number was very large. Average willingness ratings initially rose as past partner number rose, but then fell dramatically. For short-term relationships, men were more willing than women to get involved (although the difference was not large). For long-term relationships, in contrast, there was virtually no sex difference. Thus, contrary to the idea that male promiscuity is tolerated but female promiscuity is not, both sexes expressed equal reluctance to get involved with someone with an overly extensive sexual history. Finally, participants with an unrestricted sociosexual orientation (high SO participants) were more tolerant than low SO participants of prospective mates with higher numbers of past sexual partners but were also less tolerant of prospective mates with low numbers of past sexual partners.

• More women than men think that someones sexual history matters

For 27 percent of women a partner’s sexual history has complete and total bearing on whether that person will make a good partner. At 21 percent, men aren’t too far behind women in this thinking. (...) According to the survey, 29 percent of women and 21 percent of men would be “put off” if someone they're dating had a high “number.”

• Despite common claims 33% of men don't even want to date virgins

• Romantic partners showed a significant level of matching in the prior number of intercourse partners. Further, among the married couples, a higher discrepancy between men's and women's number of previous intercourse partners was related to lower levels of love, satisfaction, and commitment in the relationship.

But I'm open to hear all why you think that this isn't true.
