Third of women dodge the truth about the number of lovers they've had

By Daily Mail Reporter


It is one of those tricky quandaries. You have just started out with a new partner, who wants to know how many have preceded them in your affections.

If you admit to too many previous sexual partners then you may appear more than a little promiscuous.

But if the number is too small, then you may be perceived as an inexperienced prude.

Research shows that, perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a split between the genders when it comes to answering the potentially embarrassing question.

Around a third of women give a false response  -  and 64 per cent of these reduce the number.

Half lie because they 'feel ashamed' of the number, while a further 19 per cent don't want to be seen as promiscuous.

A fifth of women would be dishonest about their number of sexual partners if their new partner had slept with fewer people than them.

A higher proportion of men  -  43 per cent  -  lie to their new partner. In these cases, around 60 per cent increase the amount.

Around 42 per cent of men said they were 'reluctant' to settle down.

In contrast, 21 per cent of the women claim to be 'reluctant' to settle down in a relationship.

The average number of sexual partners  -  according to the survey by www.MyVoucher-Codes.co.uk  -  was seven for women and 13 for men.

Mark Pearson, managing director of the website, said: 'I would suggest starting a new relationship with honesty.

'If you start with a lie, it is more likely to end with a lot more lies.'

Comment:

Any man who doesn't respect a woman's privacy on this will likely turn out to be a control freak. It is so bad mannered to ask questions about things which have nothing whatsoever to do with a current relationship.

No surprise!
When it comes to lying, women have men beat!

And the other 2/3 lie about lying on surveys.

Whores lie about being whores so they look like "good" women

[Serpent Slayer]

These women know full well that prospective mates will understand that women who have slept around on other men are accordingly likely to sleep around on them.

[pour la frime]

Whores and prostitutes hate being called whores and prostitutes.  They know what they are, but prefer a more socially acceptable label.  Women either lie or don't want to talk about all of the men they've had in the past, but they sure as hell want to know how many women and what kind of women that men had.  It's a double standard and best not to divulge one damn thing to any woman.

Very true.

Women believe they're above judgement, yet they're highly critical of men. Another reason to not take their concerns too seriously.

"A gentleman never tells."   If she asks about who else you screwed, just use the old standard and keep your mouth shut.

Excellent advice. 

I've heard the saying a few times throughout the years but never knew what it really meant.  Realizing its significance back in the days sure could of saved me a lot of hard knocks, but we live and learn

[raider67]

If she really likes you and sees long term mate potential, she'll never say how many.
If she isn't into you for more than an occasional fuck, she'll tell you.

It's the opposite for men.

The average number of sexual partners mathematically must be the same for women and men.  This proves a lot of lying, and the worthlessness of surveys.

Absolutely.  The total number, and average number, of opposite sex partners of men and women is always EXACTLY the same.  As long as we are talking about men fucking women, the average for each man and each woman cannot ever be anything other than identical.

I never understand how anyone can quote mathematical absurdities like that with a straight face.   Their own numbers prove that their "survey" is wrong by at least 100% and probably more.   In order to cite such mythical "data" they admit that they either have no understanding of how sex works, or they aren't bright enough to add 1+1 and get 2.  Most likely they are just too stupid to count on their fingers.  They can not add up to big numbers like 2, nor do they understand basic concepts like fucking.
