--- Quote from: Odin on 15 Mar 2011, 07:01 ---You admit this one is a stretch so I'm not wasting time pointing out how dumb it is to reasonably expect someone in their mid-to-late 20s to have had fewer than a dozen boyfriends, both in the QC-verse and this one.

I sincerely have no friends who have had more than 4 boy/girlfriends in their 30-year old-ish lives. And I have a lot of friends.
I myself have had only 3 in my 31 years of life.
Do you get your statistics from Melrose Place?

More along the lines of college towns and more urban areas like Atlanta, actually.

However, the world is full of people you might view as unreasonable, and it is not dumb to realise that. For instance, I am well past my 20s but have only had two girlfriends in my life (each of whom I married).

Similar story here - although I only married one.
Carl-E:
Female friends? Hundreds over the years. Well, OK, probably around a hundred or so. Certainly too many to sit down and count.
Sex partners? Just over a score. (Oooh, look, an unintended pun...)
Actua girlfriends? Four. Married the last one at the age of 24.
Seriously, if you're relationship hopping so much that you have over a dozen by your mid twenties, I'm not sure I'd call them girl/boy friends. You're not really investing the time.
Of course, I'm not taking into consideration the early teen "relationships" that last a few weeks or so - junior (and much of senior) high school really shouldn't count!
Elysiana:
I'll be 32 in exactly one week.
One high school fling that lasted a month and would never have been serious.
One 4-year college relationship that turned into a 6-year marriage.
After the marriage ended, one FWB (can't count that as a boyfriend), one month-long, and two long-distance 6-monthers, none of which were serious.
Then another long-term relationship that turned into marriage, and so far so good.
All of those started before I was 30 years old.
Most of my friends are about the same - generally between five and ten actual relationships. I grew up in a city of 100,000, went to college near Chicago, and now live in a city of 250,000... though I don't know how that would affect it. My best friend, who grew up and went to college in Atlanta and is arguably much more "progressive" than me sexually, says, "five, and who the hell has more than a dozen serious relationships?"
