50 girls before marriage.

I suspect this represents the outcome of various PUA and Manosphere figures one upping each other into a hyperbolic extreme. The real advice for young men today, goes Don't MARRY the first woman you sleep with!
If that ever served the interests of men, it became obsolete by around the late 50s.. There exist edge cases and exceptions, but odds run hard against lucking a bona-fide Unicorn into your bed the first time out. It takes experience and reps to learn that Unicorns don't exist, then to replace naive idealism with a SMP version of Realpolitik. Yes, LTRs hold advantages over hookup culture. But, the counterpoint to this for a young man who aspires to the Marriage and Family life, faces a distinct disadvantage in the marriage marketplace if he passes 25 with just 1 or 2 LTR notches in his bed post. Divorce laws as they stand, make the stakes dangerously high, selecting a wife candidate with more blind trust than actual experience.

@Vermillion-Rx Yeah, I totally second this, based on my young experiences in the 80s, going to "nicer" clubs in the 80s. The whole thing reminded me of the joke about the cop approaching a drunk walking back and forth under a streetlamp who said he's searching for his keys. The friendly cop asks where did you lose them? Down the block he says, but the light is much better right here. I was raised in an intact household to treat women respectfully, but my age cohort was the first wave of children of easy divorce. Over and over, I'd ask some girl to dance, and she'd look me up and down quickly and give some noncommittal response if not outright reject me. Then, I'd see that same girl on the dance floor a minute later with a total Compton hood rat. That environment favors the more flamboyant and aggressive end of the male population. Inexperienced and nonassertive guys like I was back then, can't compete well in dance clubs.
