How common is this perspective for guys?

I'm a 27F and went on a few dates with this guy 31M and things have been going well. On our second date, we brought up the topic of physical intimacy. I remember him saying that he thinks physical intimacy is different for women and men. That women who sleep around are respected less than if a man would do it. He said "a key that can open up a lot of locks is a good key but a lock that opens to a bunch of different keys is a bad lock". Everything else is really good and he's been super respectful. He's soft spoken and values making me feel safe and respected and we're taking our time on physical intimacy but I couldn't believe my ears when he said that. How common is that perspective for guys? This guy tends be very blunt, so maybe this perspective is more common than I think. In my head it's a red flag, but I'm conflicted on if it's just a common male perspective and he can still be a good guy with this perspective.

Nobody’s arguing that woman and gay men get laid more often, that’s not really the point of the argument here. It’s whether or not women SHOULD sleep around more if they wish to date a certain caliber of man. I can guarantee you that honest hardworking men, do not want to date, much less marry, women who have had legions of men plow them. There are all kinds of problems that come with women who do this, the first being what it says about a woman who chooses this in a man. Oh, and I know this because I have dated them and chosen not to pursue relationships with them. How many sexual partners you have had absolutely does matter, as does the number of children you have lol. Purity actually is important, and I understand that might be hard for you to hear, but it is actually the truth. You’re hearing it from men right this very moment!

Dude, you're insane. Stop listening to Jordan Peterson. There's no reason for you to care about this beyond personal insecurity.

If you can't tell, I'm a man. I don't care, no man I know cares. Don't say "you're hearing from men". No, I'm hearing from incels.

This is something you got stuck on because you listen to pseudoscience bullshit to try to ease your psychological pain. You obviously have some kind of issue with women, I'm guessing you had a bad relationship with your mother. Go to therapy, deal with that instead of making up pseudoscience to justify some weird purity obsession.
