Defining “promiscuous”, “large number of sexual partners”, “lots of men” would be helpful....e.g. At least X number of partners with Y frequency / over Z duration. Has the research revealed any thresholds beyond which things really go downhill? Maybe it doesn’t matter, and your contention is it’s basically a linear relationship, after reaching a certain low threshold, where more partners equals less happiness for women, all other things being equal. I guess you’re arguing that the happiness-related consequences of promiscuousness apply during the period of promiscuity. What about afterward, like as a long-term consequence? How does the argument apply for a woman who got married at age 19 as a virgin, then divorced at 35 and slept around a whole lot for the two years following divorce, then got into another long-term monogamous relationship at 37? Regarding the statement about promiscuity being indicative of bad judgment and that “Back in the day, women wouldn’t sleep with a man unless they were certain that he was a good guy who was going to stick around and provide for her and her offspring,” I’d like to think that is generally accurate, and it makes conventional ‘red pill’ sense. But do we know that’s really true? Might that be a major simplification and misrepresentation of women’s historical decision making around having intercourse? This also begs the question of whether in your argument promiscuity requires intercourse - which it seems it does - in contrast with a kind of promiscuity, at least hypothetically, which involves being sexual with lots of men, but reserving intercourse for a very small number.
