It count be six or sixteen (but definitely not sixty). I have no fucking idea because I\u2019m not the type of creepy person who mentally tallies these things. <\/p>\n<p>  I once went out with a guy who told me he had been with thirteen women, I honestly would have been more comfortable with him telling me he had clubbed a baby seal to death. There is something inherently creepy and gross about keeping a mental journal of your partners, viewing them as numbers that will raise your score; it\u2019s a major red flag. <\/p>\n<p>  To be fair, the question has some innocent motives behind it; people want to know if they are special, it\u2019s a major part of sex and dating. Are they being invited to a magical place where only one other person has ventured? Or are they moving towards a free for all?<\/p>\n<p>  Well, you\u2019re not that special, and it\u2019s not a free for all. <\/p>\n<p>  I read somewhere that the average number of partners for a woman in this country is 4 in a lifetime. I\u2019ve had Saturdays that have been more eventful than that.  <\/p>\n<p>  P.S I usually just say, \u201cas many as your mom has had\u201d. Because I\u2019m mature like that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>Anyone who has been on a date in the years after 1975 has been asked this at one point or
