Why does it seem like men lie about their partner count?

Guys always lie about their success with women.

The other thing they lie about, is NOT getting rejected.

I've been rejected dozens of times, and dozens more after that.

Men lying about their success with women actually helps the blue-pill wheel keep turning, because it creates the mass impression that men are more successful with women than they really are.

If Andrew slept with 50 women, and Bob slept with 0 women, on average they have slept with 25 women...

Ego. And normally quick rounding up. 6 girls you've had sex with + 2 blowjobs can easily be translated into "yeah I've Fucked around 10"

Don't compare yourself to others. Also, when I have true man to man talks with other men about women, they are normally very honest and won't be afraid to tell me if they're a virgin.

As a man you have some kind of value, if you slay pussies —> you are seen as attractive, masculine, thats why men increase their real n-count. For women its another way: the less, the more saint she is, no slut shame, etc.

Because those same men are insecure and believe banging multiple girls makes them cool. Can't blame them, it's portrayed in modern rap/hip hop. Nonetheless, they are insecure

Men tend to overblow their numbers and women tend to diminish it. Nothing too crazy, just both genders adhering to their own social norms.

Omg. I remember that shit. People would always claim to fuck on a cruise. Obviously some people do fuck on cruises but it’s not the guy that’s never getting laid any other time.

They do it to project an illusion of success, or because they just straight up have no standards and have a high body count.

I genuinely have no idea how many girls I've slept with. It's not a huge count and it's not nothing either. I've been at it for a while too.

It's likely less than 15, though and I tell everyone I know in person five since it's a reference to a TV show that was popular for a while. (one of the characters constantly boasted a body count of 5 as a running gag)

I think my experience is average or slightly above average for a guy my age.

It's a power distribution

Not sure where the statistic came from, but it's not that hard to believe. If the average man is sexually active from 18-32 before getting married, that's sleeping with 1 woman a year. Not too difficult. You're 20 years old. That number won't seem that high in a few years.

Because it helps their egos and also get a high opinion of themselves from other people. If you were given a chance, would you rather let them know you're a winner or a loser?

I dunno I feel like there is judgement from both sides for high numbers. Im at 60+ and that generally grosses out most girls haha. It's definitely something I lie about and and give a much lower number. It think the only people who care are other dudes for some reason 😂
