@mischievoustomato @sneeden @jeff I'll accept it if you prefer someone who had a similar number of past partners as yourself. But if you think it's fine for a man to have had many past sexual partners and yet desire a woman who had none or very few, then that's the definition of a double standard. A man with many past partners is just as likely to be a troublesome individual as a woman with many past partners. (And in some cases it may not be a troublesome individual at all, but rather just picky and/or unlucky with partners, thus breaking up again and again.)
