women "like" experienced men

where does this thinking come from? specifically directed to cases where men believe a woman who has waited till marriage her whole life would prefer an "experienced" man. I have never met a single woman who wants a man who has slept around. I think we find it equally as off putting as men do and the idea that women want experienced men is an idea that is only talked about by men? how do men know what women want? no woman who waits till marriage wants a man who has not done the same, I would think this is common sense. Please stop these double standards and silly excuses.
The decision on whether to get to know a man better or blow him off during the early stages is primarily an emotional one.

Inexperienced men tend to give off weird vibes. Especially with better looking women.

The science on this actually suggests that your correct and that both men and women regard ‘perfect’ as 3-4 however men also care far more than women about body count (interestingly, the same study showed that men viewed virgins as more preferable than a 12+ female body count).

So the double standard does not exist because men think women want a player, it’s just that psychology suggests that women are less bothered about male promiscuity (the psychological theory being historical paternity uncertainty for men generates a stronger instinctual distaste for female promiscuity than in women).

There is also a psychological theory about women having a natural distaste for male promiscuity because she would suspect a male would not be able to direct all his resources for her and her offspring if he had previously slept around. I guess this isnt the same as paternity uncertainty but it is the female equivalent.

Also no female would prefer a 12+ body count male either. I think this is just how both men and women are but a lot of men I know seem to convince themself that women will like them more if they sleep around.

It's just more red-pill nonsense. Few people actually find a high partner count particularly impressive, except perhaps red-pilled men, who - basically by definition - are struggling relationship wise. And then they think that a woman who waits until marriage before having sex will actually want someone who sleeps around? Just utter nonsense.
