[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, the MRA multiply by factor of three because all women are liars line... such rubbish. My number is exactly what I say it is. I don’t typically divulge it to partners, but when I do, I never change it.

I did have an affair and it was actually a very important step in my life. It gave me the last boost in confidence I needed to leave an abusive, terrible relationship. Looking back it was not the safest or smartest thing I ever did, and I should have finished off and left the marriage on my own. I knew I wouldn’t be in a relationship with my AP when I left my marriage... but knowing that I could defy my controling husband even that much was enough for me to see I could leave. My AP was not as good looking. My AP is still a good friend, though we are not lovers anymore. [/quote]

Relax. Not everything applies equally to everyone. In general, men tend to exaggerate their number up and women tend to modify it down. A women I went to college with got married. I attended the wedding. At the reception, the best man and I got in a conversation and we realized we had some mutual friends. We were laughing and telling stories and suddenly he asks out of the blue about the bride. "Is it true she only had one serious boyfriend? I mean, look at her. I can't believe she wasn't hit on from the moment she walked on campus to the time her parents came to bring her home after graduation (picture Matt Damon saying this in a Boston accent, and no the guy didn't look like Matt Damon but that's how he sounded). She and I were friends that had a few nights of drunken passion blended in. I know she had been with more than 10 guys (lost her virginity in HS, conversations and funny stories about hook ups during college, her and I and then her husband). Given she worked for almost 2 years before meeting her husband, I'm guessing it could be near 20. The best man was shocked it was 3 according to the groom. Like a good friend, I covered for her and have never said a thing to her.

I could tell you 5 similar stories about men exaggerating their numbers in the opposite direction and claiming conquests they didn't make.

Bottom line, if you took all the numbers from males and added them up and all the numbers from females and adding them up, they would not come close to matching.[/quote]
