Fiancé (male Brown belt) says he's never been "given a tap" by an upper belt?

I'm a female Purple belt & my fiancé is a Brown belt.

Coming up in BJJ since 2018, I've had plenty of higher belt men and women "give me a tap" in live rolls-- meaning, allowing me to work positions and actually finish a submission.

Now in my training, when I roll with lower belts, I let them work for and achieve not only positions, but submissions. Of course not often (in a 5-minute round, the ratio is that I might tap them 6 times for example, but I give them at least 1 submission). I shared that with my fiancé on the drive home from training and he was like WHAT?! He says in his entire jiu jitsu career, he has NEVER been "given a tap" by a higher belt, and so even now when he rolls with lower belts, he'll give them dominant positions but never submissions.

We're perplexed. Is this a female experience, or is just my fiancé the anomaly?
