Guys Talk Numbers: What Do They Really Think? - Part 1
This piece appeared as part of a series on your "number" - see the rest of the package here.
With regard to her sexual number, one of a girl's biggest concerns is often what guys would think of it. Would a future partner not be interested in her because he finds her number too high or too low? Are girls with sexual experience not "girlfriend material?" Do guys these days still expect to marry virgins? These questions and others can drive girls crazy trying to figure out, and it can be hard to get a straight answer from a dude — because your current boyfriend might not want to hurt your feelings, your best guy friend might be a total jerk to girls, etc. So I sat down with eight guys at the University of Michigan and asked them what they really thought about your number. Below are some of their answers, straight from their mouths and totally uncensored. (Trust me, I couldn't make some of this stuff up if I tried!)
Would you rather sleep with a girl with a lower number or a higher number?
"Definitely a girl with a lower number, they're probably clean and you know they're not too easy to get. It's not attractive if you know anyone can get her." — Mark
"Girls with higher numbers are hot, you know they know what they're doing and that they enjoy sex more." — Eric
"There's less pressure to perform well if a girl hasn't been with a lot of guys — she's probably a lot easier to please." — Joe
"Girls with higher numbers are probably into kinky stuff — enough said." — Chris
"Numbers don't say everything though, a girl could have dated the same guy forever and have a number of 1, but still be a total freak." — Pat
"If I'm sleeping with a girl with a higher number, I don't feel like it's as much of an accomplishment — you kind of want it to be a challenge. Well, wait, actually that's not always true." — Ryan
"The downside to a girl having a lower number is that if she's only been with one or two people, it could be a hard act to follow. She might view sex as a really emotional thing, and that could mean more of a commitment from you." - Frank
