The Numbers Game

How many is a lot? And is anyone really counting? You know what I'm talking about. Sex. I dated a guy once who wouldn't tell me how many people he'd been with. Finally, after we broke up, he said he lost count, but it was probably close to 80...100. I flipped, considering at the time we had been dating, I was at ZERO. Yeah, he's European, a total player and older than me and all but damn...I'm so glad I never did anything with him. But what's weirder, is that when I told him that I was at one (and zero when we had been dating), he was shocked. He said that girls my age are usually at 20-25 (I was 21 yrs old at the time). I think his perception is pretty skewed. But I wonder if people really count numbers.

Personally, I don't think it really matters. The only thing is what a high number might imply. If a guy has been with 30 girls, you assume he must have slept around. But if you average it, he's been with about 3 girls a year and that doesn't sound as bad. So the number doesn't necessarily tell you anything. I think if you get to know a person well, then you'll discover the things that really matter...what his values are, what kind of person he is, and if he cares about and respects you. Fuck the past. It's called the past cuz we're supposed to leave it in the past.

On a different (?) note...I was bored at work and did some calculations.

If I go out on a date with you, there's an 8% chance that I'll sleep with you.
If I go out on multiple dates with you, there's a 9.7% chance that I'll sleep with you.
If I make out with you, there's a 27.3% chance that I'll sleep with you.

If you're a Gemini, there's an 18.2% chance that I'll make out with you.
If you're a Leo, Aquarius or Libra, there's a 13.6% chance that I'll make out with you.
If you're a Taurus or Sagittarius and you're hot and discreet, there is a 99.9% chance that I will make out with you.
If you're my hot next door neighbor, there's a 100% chance I will make out with you and chain you up in my closet.

So if you're a guy and these statistics discourage you, don't worry:

If we take body shots off of each other in public as members of my family take pictures, and your asshole best friend who looks like Gary Payton doesn't call me a bitch because I won't sleep with you, then there's a 50% chance that I will sleep with you.
