Why would you ask?! 🤦‍♀️

likefunnysmart

I hinted on asking once, and Bf told me don’t ask questions you don’t want answers to ... so I didn’t ask cause I totally would have felt the same if he gave me a high number (which I expect ...)

One other comment / piece of advice from a former slut - obviously based on my husband and my numbers (^ 50/100) we’re both very sexual people, which is one important factor to long-term compatibility. While I definitely don’t think numbers matter, at all, sexual compatibility does matter. If you like sex or experimentation less than your partner or vice versa, I could see that being a long-term problem. High numbers don’t necessarily equal highly sexual people, but they can be correlated. I’d focus on assessing your sexual compatibility, not your number discrepancies

I’m really surprised by all the negative reactions here. We are all, I assume, educated and worldly people, why is it surprising that people enjoy their sexuality? Why is it ‘gross’? Let people live, as long as they’re not harming anyone.

His body count*

Why did you ask? And why did you find it important to know?

You wanna know, but don't wanna know 😉

Athe a dumb question but he knows body count refers to different people, and not how many times he’s had sex? That, or he’s really good at hookup culture

Oh how I miss the college days!

What is body count?

Now you got to know that was none of your business. As long as you take him to the clinic and he tests negative for everything it shouldn’t matter. It ain’t your right to judge him, only God to do that.

I think I'm at 11? I'm 26 and I haven't actually had a 1 night stand before.

I always thought that wasn't that many (since no 1 night stands), but then I was talking to my BF of 3.5 years recently, and his count was only 4. Kinda shocked me, I thought everyone had done it with more people than me lol.

Not sure why you asked if you didn’t want to know? Why get weird about it? So he has some life experience that you don’t? As long as he isn’t still racking them up, why do you care?

OP my boyfriend’s count is in the 90s at 42. I’m 33 and my number is ~20. Most of his count actually occurred when he was single in his 30s. We live in LA and it doesn’t seem that uncommon. His little brother’s number is even higher. We’ve been dating around a year and at first it bothered me but over time he has shown me how loving and caring he is and it doesn’t really bother me anymore.

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
