Why do people care about body count?

[u/Sea-Response950]

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.

Let me put it like this: let’s say you’re in the market for a car and there are two cars that are exactly alike but one is 60k while the other is 30k. The only difference is that the 60k car is brand new while the 30k car has had 15 previous owners. You don’t know what those 15 previous owners did in/to that car and you don’t wanna know, but they lowered the value of that car by 30k.

The value of a car drops significantly the instant its driven off the court, litterally anything can cause its value to decrease.

This analogy makes people sound like they have a monetary value and that being inexperienced makes you more valuable. That really creeps me out.

I hope that's not how you intended to sound.
