Me, too--and I'm one of them! Dh and I were both each other's firsts in college.

They either met their spouses very young or very physically unattractive (not meaning to be rude but I know some couples like this) or very shy.

Why? Literally everyone I know who has slept with one person fits one of the three categories.

NP- I think the opposite is true. The unattractive, chunky women always have higher numbers. It's a self-esteem thing or daddy issues. The really attractive, undamaged women aren't sleeping around.

Agreed. Beautiful women don't sleep around, in my experience

I'm the PP who slept with 50-60 guys before I started dating my husband shortly before turning 23. When I look in the mirror, I think I'm either a bit homely or just okay looking & way too scrawny. I have been told by many people, however, that I'm very attractive (though I think even most of them would agree that I'd be even more attractive if I weren't so scrawny ).

Fwiw, I was voted "best looking" by my high school class senior year & , at 28, still look almost exactly the same as I did then (the only real differences are my haircut & the way I dress).

OP here. No.

No.

I'm one of the 25-30'rs. While I am solidly middle aged now (another GenXer) I am slightly above average in looks. Like the other PP's I have been told I have a sexually appealing look and demeanor. But honestly, I just love getting laid. If I wasn't married I could have easily doubled or tripled this number.
I like it, what can I say?

Im 34 and I'm at 11 or 12. I can't remember. I promised myself to not go over 10 but I keep meeting Mr. Wrong. I'm officially abstaining until I'm engaged. Yep I'm closed for business until further notice.

My number is probably low 20s. I met my husband when I was 25. I am cute but certainly not beautiful. I do have long blondish hair and green eyes. I'm also curvy but not fat – proportional body with relatively big boobs and hips and a small waist. Like another poster I have been told that I am sexy rather than beautiful. I'm also outgoing and friendly. I definitely had an insecure spot my early 20s when I slept with more people than I wish I had but overall it's not a big deal 15 years later.

I should also mention to the point of the poster above me that my husband had only slept with one or two people when we met. He is extremely quiet and reserved and much less social than I am, although I would say we are relative equals looks wise or he's probably a bit more attractive.

I'm not talking about women who are a little chubby and might sleep with a bunch of drunk guys. I'm talking about things that are almost universally unattractive – hugely overweight, bad skin, bad teeth.

For me, I've slept with between 25-30 men (don't remember exactly how many) and I met my husband at 25. I realize that this is a very high #, and I'm not boasting, in fact I've never shared this with anyone in real life, so please don't attack.

Genuinely curious why you think anyone would find this boastful? On the contrary...

I wouldn't think so, but DCUM can be very snarky and unless I mentioned that I wasn't proud, it's likely someone would accuse me of boasting.

Greater than 1

Another 1 here. Met DH at 27, now 38. Pretty shy in high school and college. Don't regret it though.

why do you care? why is this question being asked in 2016? Go away.
