Honestly, he's probably not ready at all. It is very likely that he will either spend the rest of his days wishing he had hooked up with more girls and be bitter about it or cheat on you and ruin the marriage. If I were you, I would insist that he live a little more before he even thinks about marriage. Of course, that's easier said than done.

This is a crap answer. His "experience" implies nothing about whether or not he's ready for marriage.
Please God, tell me this is another badly played "tongue in cheek" answer...the number of girls he's dated/slept with has nothing to do with whether he's ready for marriage or not.
Seriously, what if the people in question are in their 30's? Yes, not incredibly likely, but still possible.
Being ready for marriage is a myriad of things, that only this man and woman can truly answer. Every couple is different. My mom and step dad only courted for 6 months before getting married and for him it was his first marriage and he had very little sexual experience (he and I have talked on this, weird to some but he's very much a dad to me). And they are an awesome couple.
On the other hand when my biological parents got together, they were both in a very similar situation with little experience, but things were terrible. Neither of them was really ready.
The difference did not lay in the number of people dated (except for a few for my mom since she dated a couple guys before finding my step-dad). It was in all kinds of other things.
Really now, that answer is bullshit. Why does one HAVE to fuck around in today's society? Why is someone who didn't do it looked upon as slightly eerie even? That's just plain wrong. If someone wants to shag everyone in sight, that's fine. And if someone else doesn't, that's fine too. Questioning someone's "grown-up decisions" solely based on the number of sex partners is just wrong.
I'm with Laje on this. My Dad was a virgin on his wedding night... my parents were happily married for 46 years until he died.
Experience in the sack does not equal knowing your heart. The bigger question here is... is *she* ready to settle down. Seems like he's found what he wanted, no need to look further.
It seems to me that the more experienced guys are the ones who don't want to settle, and the ones with less experience are more likely to go with their "first purchase" instead of looking around for something even better.
(Not that I'm making this like purchasing a call girl or anything, this is strictly metaphorical.) However, jerks come in both packages.
Another dumb, thoughtless, irritating answer from Mystery Man?
Shocking.
Thought there is the possibility that it could work, I do agree with MM. Most people, especially men, want to have some life experience before settling into the family life or they feel stunted or suffocated.
Another terrible, bullshit answer by Mystery Man. It isn't about how many people you've been with, it's about finding someone who loves you for everything you are, has similar goals, and wants to grow and change with you. Just because the asker is her boyfriend's second partner doesn't mean they couldn't have a wonderful, happy marriage.
You don't need to build up a stockpile of previous sexual partners to get married. DUH.
Mystery man is answering the questions from a mans point of view....all the commenters are def answering the question from a womans point of view... I agree 2 sexual partners is really not much in life not just bc of the sexual aspect of it but this obviously means he hasnt had more then 2 long term relationships .... he has experienced nothing and as mystery man shared he might be bitter down the road or he might turn have affairs in the future...this is a fair response... although we all would like to think after marriage one stays faithful but we all know this is far from the truth and if he only experienced 2 woman in his entire life we all know he might get a little curious.
Being a man myself, I disagree completely.
He's answering from his perspective not the "man view as a whole".
Men come in both varieties on this one. Those who will be happy simply because they have little other experience and those who will be disatisfied, etc.
It's very individual. Sexual experience really has nothing to do with readiness for marriage.
I can think of at least five men off hand who prove this answer wrong: married their first or second "lay" and are still happily married 30+ years later. In fact, their marriages seem to have FEWER problems with wandering eyes, infidelity, etc. than those of couples who do know what else is out there and have developed an appetite for it.
Most of the answers here are fail-proof, but this one is WAAAAAY off.
Seriously, if I only slept with two people, I would have lost my mind and would have begged the guy who gives me shots in the padded room to have sex with me.
We need "lovin'" just as much as the players out there. It is possible for this guy to want to marry the 2nd girl he sleeps with but, he is ,also, a freak of nature.
I am backing MM on this one.

I desired to thank you for the write-up -- I actually enjoyed it! In most cases, I never give responses, still I did it because I have a bug: when the web page is totally loaded, the middle is scrambled. Everything is in blue and yellow! How come?
