To each their own, but there is a reasonable explanation for why men largely prefer women with low body counts. At the group level, both sexes are attracted to features in each other that indicate a good chance at reproductive success. For men this can be things like wide hips (for child birthing), while for women it can be things like access to cultural resources (which improve offspring's status). Meanwhile both are attracted to symmetrical features (signals good genetics/health). However, for men (once again, this is at the group level...I repeat, at the group level), there is a special consideration that does not exist for women, namely parental assurance. If being attracted to external indicators of low body count gives men even a small 1% better chance at having their genes move forward into the future, because they are more likely to be the fathers of those children, it means that the vast majority of men after a couple hundred generations (and the human race has been around for a lot longer than that) would be the products of those men's genes. That's just how evolution and statistics work.Bruh, I swear, as a man myself, I'll never understand the masculine need to look down on promiscuous women, reprimand or bash them for liking casual, no-strings-attached sexual relationships (You must be registered to see the links) or hookups, instead of taking advantage of this 'modern woman' mentality and filling that conquest list till they don't have any more space left to write new names on. I never will, for real now.
So I understand why many players of this game are instinctively attracted to Vi and Amrit, since those two characters naturally display strong indicators of innocence and inexperience. Such men don't consciously decide who and what they like in the opposite sex, any more than their cavemen ancestors who didn't even have language do. And the most important point here is that not being attracted to someone isn't "bashing" or "looking down" on them. It's just being uninterested in them. And to that end, no woman deserves a man's attention, no matter how much some might try to gaslight you into believing otherwise (though truth be told, gaslighting is the nicest response I've gotten to turning a women down, but that's drifting too far off topic for this forum thread).
