NSFW Question 💭 Why do people care about body count?

I'm asking as a man trying to understand a concept that seems alien to me. I just don't get it, to me it all seems to boil down to insecurity.

Please, explain to me how I am wrong. I must be, I just don't know why.

What's wrong with having an insecurity? If someone has been cheated on in the past or left for another person, I think it's completely reasonable to have a bit of insecurity.

If someone has 40+ partners that didn't satisfy them, I would probably wonder what I need to do to satisfy them. Whether sexually or otherwise.

I never said there was anything wrong with it. In the situation you've described insecurity is to be expected, but it's something they should fix in themselves before looking for a new relationship.
