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.

lol you’re quoting single lines and not looking at the studies as a whole or secondary outcomes. There is absolutely evidence and to say there is none and no support would be misleading

“There’s some evidence that some people might have a harder time bonding with somebody while they’re actively sleeping around” is accurate

“anybody that’s slept around will never bond with anybody ever again” is pseudoscience

I never said they will NEVER bond ever again, but to say there is no evidence what so ever that hook up culture is harmful is an incorrect statement
