how many lovers?

It is said that man is meant to love and not to be understood because once we start to understand then we are doomed, so I have also noticed this fact that most men have the tendency to ask the numbers of lovers of a woman maybe to know if she is experienced or simply if he has a chance after all her lovers too.

i think another translation to that question is "how many guys have you slept before me?" no offense but that was the 1st thing that came out of my mind maybe he's trying to analyze how's your track record with boys...so that he'll never be end up being dump like the others...or the chances that he can easily slip away from you (if he's the one whose gonna do the dirty work) I guess u can tell a lot of story about ones personality if you learn more about their past..by doing so hopefully can predict what's gonna come afterward :) i guess he'll never bother on how many guys you have dated with...its how many you have slept with..frankly, it had something to do with men's ego and most of us can't help it though... that's my honest opinion.. -peace-

It's kind of distorted mentality working, I should say. In one hand, they are trying hard to dig out how many exes you have dated with; in the other, they cannot forget about this inflicting facts. They are paradox themselves. My advice would be keep your mouth shut as tight as a clam because knowing how many dates you have had does not the least good to your current and future relationship.
