Is it unreasonable to want to know how many people someone you're dating has had sex with?

Yes I think both those things are a bit shallow. Doesn't make someone a bad person or anything, I just think it's a bit eh. You asked people's if it's unreasonable, otherwise what they think, but I'll just chalk that up to a semantic disagreement.

I agree it's none of my business, and I wouldn't be discussing it if it hadn't been asked. Also people have opinions on things that aren't their business all the time. That's just human nature, and I don't see anything wrong with it. I do have my own preferences. They are things I prefer, but I wouldn't not date a short girl solely because I prefer tall, etc. I also agree I have no authority over others. I'm not trying to change anyone or say they should be as open as I am. I'm just saying that in my personal opinion, I think it's less than ideal to not date someone solely for one characteristic such as number of partners, height, etc.
