Yes, but it's more context then anything

But if it "doesn't matter" how come most women won't tell their man the actual number or nothing at all?

"what does it matter, your with me now"

Cause you know it DOES matter.

Really, it does NOT matter. You can tell from a person's personality and attitudes if they are compatible. I think it only matters to the biased and insecure people, who have no other way to evaluate a person's compatibility now. It matters to people who want to be judgmental about some characteristic that really doesn't matter, just like racists who care about skin color and deem only theirs "superior."

All that really matters is that they are presently healthy physically, and emotionally, and able to relate to me in the ways that I am seeking for a relationship.

When I was 22 - it did matter. If I was single now - it probably wouldn't matter so much. However, I have a feeling that if I was really compatible with someone - we would probably have a similar outlook on love and sex and have a similar number.

It doesn't matter one single bit, and do you know why?

The only way someone knows how many sexual partners you have had, is if you TELL THEM.

It's like the tree falling in the forest...if nobody hears, did it actually happen?

Your choice...plus this "numbers" crap I read about on CD constantly is just that, crap. Who's the judge? Who casts the first stone?

I don't really care. I myself have a relatively high number of sexual partners in my life so it would be stupid of me to judge females on that. As long as the girl isn't a '' trainée '' and as long as shes clean.

Men add and women subtract.......
That's not always true.

Do you/did you add to your number? Why???

LOL, I was half joking around.

I meant in the general sense. Men have a tendency to brag and women, in an effort to appear to be less "slutty" will lean the other direction.

I don't have any hard "science" to back this up.... just purely anecdotal.

Personally I count mine like this -

If I was drunk, it doesn't count.
If he was drunk, it doesn't count.
If I didn't like him, it doesn't count.
If it was BAD, it doesn't count.
If it was a one night stand, it doesn't count.
If I hate him NOW, it doesn't count.

Based on my formula, I am technically still a virgin.

Gotcha. I knew you were talking in the general sense...was just curious if you have added to your number. Or are you not counted "in general"

I'm not counted in general. My number is fairly low...single digits. I met my husband when I was young so it didn't give me lots of time before him to hooch around...LOL

We never really discussed it. I met mrs. chow when I was around 22 just about to turn 23. So I haven't been with that many women. I think enough to know that I don't care for sleeping around. I'd rather be in a relationship then trying to add more marks to my belt.
