how many is too many

[Ben Kenobi]

and that over 70% of you would not consider me
a bad girl...

boann:

And why would I consider you to be, virgin bride and all?

i would be more intimidated if they had had several serious relationships than just a lot of casual sex, as somehow it would seem more to live up to.

Verres:

Curious. I would think most guys would see things precisely the opposite. I would certainly find the sexual encounters more troubling than serious relationships.

Simple answer to that Ben, im not a guy!

Serious relationships can sometimes leave... something of a nasty aftertaste in the form of emotional baggage.

I've only had one serious relationship, but in some of my friends it seems to have a cumulative effect.

Why would women think this way? I find that curious.

I was watching a commercial for "extend" -- a product for men. One of the women "endorsers" said she had 100,000 men.

Exaggeration?

Ben (good name btw): Have you been, or are you in one serious relationship or more? Kudos if the answer is currently, and more than one!

i think you got his goat ...lol

but you know your going to have to come clean on why you think the way you do

Let's do a little calculation on that one. Let's assume two per day. With a sex life from puberty to menopause, which we can estimate at 35 years. Thats 12784 days give or take (leap year considerations), so 25568 men. That's two per day. 8 per day, every day will give you 100'000 so its clearly physically possible, but I do rather doubt it. Once every three hours for 35 years .

Think of the sponsorship!!!

Im not saying all women think this way, by any means. Most females i know may will criticise a bloke who had slept around and considered himself a bit of a player. Its just personally, relationships have always seemed more daunting and intimidating than sex (well, at least that used to be the case ) and i tend to judge others by my standards - so i would not be bothered at all by then number of partners someone had, if only because it made me feel less of a slut!

Well, it's a better name than obiwan18.

Yes, I'm currently seeing my girlfriend Denise, seeing her tonight, for the first time in a month.

We've been seeing each other since the end of last february, but not so much during the summer. She lived about 400 kms from me, and I lack a vehicle, so that was difficult.

I've had one girlfriend previous that I consider to be a 'serious relationship', and many other friends over the years. So that's two.

Perception in this instance is more important than the reality. One man's 'baggage' is another man's experience.

It's also mine! (minus the star wars fanatacism).

True. And my lovelife is and was hardly ideal.

Is it the commitment? I would find the physical intimacy far more daunting than the emotional intimacy, of a relationship. Actually, I find the emotional intimacy rather delightful.

Is anyone's lovelife, ideal?

[Whaleboy]

Is anyone's lovelife, ideal?

Mine is generally alcohol induced, cannabis induced, hormone induced or existentialism induced. My methods involve manipulation and taking advantage (aka flirting), though of course there are some exceptions to that . In terms of lovelives, mine is at best an advanced form of masturbation, and that's when I do get lucky, which isn't so thus far this year. Yours on the other hand, is aspirational.
