Why women's "body count" actually matters

Recently the famous American conservative commentator and activist Matt Walsh uploaded a video named "Why Men Care About A Woman's Body Count (And Should)" where he gives his opinion on why most men care about a woman's "body count" (ie. how many men that woman has had sex with), and why they should, in fact, care about it.

After all, the modern "progressive" mainly-leftist narrative is that this should have no bearing on anything, and it's nobody's business, not even of future boyfriends or husbands, and that this is completely inconsequential and people shouldn't care about it nor even ask for it nor in any way be concerned about it. It's her business and it has no effect on anything, and even questioning this is derogatory, patronizing, patriarchal, misogynist and ultraconservative. Women should be free to have sex with whoever they want, with as many people as they want, and this should have no effect on anything.

Matt Walsh gave his opinions on the subject in that video, but I would like to also write a bit about my opinions. Some of this might overlap with what he said, but I'd like to give my (hopefully somewhat original) perspective on it.

I agree with Walsh that this "body count" is not, in fact, completely and absolutely inconsequential when it comes to relationships with a woman, who might be a prospective girlfriend and perhaps even wife.

The reason for this is because a high "body count" speaks of a certain type of personality, upbringing, principles and behavior.

Dating, romantic relationships and marriage are not a thing where just any random person is "compatible" with another random person. Cultural background, personality, preferences, tastes, hobbies, behavior, opinions (very much including political opinions)... these are all things that may make the relationship work or not work. When you are dating, you are trying to find a person that you are compatible with you, someone you would like to spend a lot of time with, potentially the rest of your life. Someone who will love you, support you, respect you. Someone who you will likewise want to love, support, respect, and overall have a good time living with for the rest of your life.

And that's the one key aspect of relationships: Mutual respect. Loyalty. Trust. Standing side by side, loving each other, respecting each other, supporting each other.

A woman who is extraordinarily promiscuous and has a "body count" in the hundreds does not exactly exude an air of loyalty, respect and trustworthiness. It does not exude a sort of personality who will deeply love you, respect you, support you, want to always be with you.

Instead, it exudes an air of easily screwing around behind your back because she finds you "boring" and wants something new. Such a woman does not sound like the type who will be content with just one man for long, who will love that one man, respect that one man, be loyal to that one man, and want to live the rest of her life with that one man.

Unlike most feminist believe, most men want a life companion, not a whore. They want someone they can lean on for support, someone they find warm, friendly, likeable and supportive, someone they can trust, and someone who to reciprocate with similar feelings, to be warm, friendly, supportive and trustworthy towards.

Dating an excessively promiscuous woman with a "body count" in the several tens, or even in the hundreds, is just a recipe for disaster. It's very likely to be a very shallow relationship that will not last. It will be a flimsy and superficial relationship that's likely to break at the first sign of trouble.

Unlike most feminists think, men do not want a romantic relationship like that. They want to trust and to be trusted.

That's why they are interested in the "body count" of prospective life partners. And, as Matt Walsh says, why they should.
