Which mean nothing.
There is no proof number of partners determines infidelity rate.
Nothing.
Always a pleasure talking with someone as kind and well-spoken as yourself.

I’ve seen research similar to what that. Weirdly in what I saw the trend shifted around mid 20s which supports your theory that the attractive women ended up in longer term relationships.
Also perhaps the fact that less attractive women tend to seek validation of their looks by way of sex?

Depends, if it is one guy, plus one guy that is so big it counts as 1.5, that would be concerning. If it is 2.5, but one of them was extra small so only counts as 0.5, that is less concerning.
Could be. I have a few thoughts on it I guess. A very attractive woman has many options, but very few good ones. A less attractive woman has many options too, and they are perhaps on average better for her.

I’m really not trying to split hairs here or be contrarian or antagonistic for the sake of it. With that said I politely ask, do you think a man’s observations, especially those of one who is middle-aged or beyond, shouldn’t play a role in his decision making? I think it’s sensible.

You raise a very good point. He should definitely ask how big they all were, and also for the names of these previous boys so that he can compare himself to them properly. He can either feel shit that they were all so much better looking, or he can feel “disappointed” in her for giving herself away to men that are below him. This is definitely a good idea.

He should also inquire on their and their family’s net worths.
Have you addressed at any point WHY it pisses you off? I truly don’t understand why you care, at all. I have a HUNCH that for most guys, it’s an issue of insecurity about being ‘better’ than guys she’s been with previously. It’s a very small minded way to approach dating. If you’re that concerned about the guys before you being better than you in bed, they probably were.
Beyond this, I’m also missing why there is a difference between 3 and 5, or whatever. It’s the fucking same. Is there a difference been 5 and 50? Yea. 3 and 5? Nope.
Also: You said your count is 7. ChickenLittle’s comment at the beginning of the thread is where I land on this. You don’t deserve her if you’re going to be a judgemental prick about her choices, PARTICULARLY since the number is so low, lol.
Final thought: never ask a girl this question again.

I saw this one as well, but didn’t find enough smoking-barrel stuff to use it.
Thanks for the share though, it’s very much related.

This appears to be around the average for someone in their 20’s
Sure… there’s a downward slope… however if one is adept at reading these sorts of studies they’d know statistical significance only pertains to P values less than (.05)
- = P less greater than or equal to .05, meaning statistically significant. A P value higher than .05 means jack shit… I don’t care if someone says “but there’s a downward trajectory there”… P value higher than 0.05 means a trial or study looking at a variable gets chucked out… it means there is no statistically significant correlation. In this case going by this study you are correct… however this study infers there shouldn’t be a double standard regarding male vs female promiscuity as outcomes are for the most part equitable
I’m not using my own bias here, as I don’t like promiscuity. I’m going by what this study actually says vs what your interpretation.
Even though there’s a downward trajectory, it isn’t significant enough for researchers to conclude the number of sexual partners in men vs women makes a difference regarding overall marriage satisfaction
For women… only women who had eventuated between
4 and 6-10 partners had a statistically significant chance of decreased marriage satisfaction compared to men
Look at the percentages reporting happy marriages. The differences regarding overall satisfaction between women who had 1 or 11 partners was not even significant enough for researchers to conclude gender vs number of partners had anything to do with rates of marriage satisfaction.
Look at the % reporting happy marriages… you’re looking at a 5-10% differentiation at the most
Around 70 vs 63%… not enough of a difference to be considered significant enough to claim gender was the culprit behind marriage satisfaction vs number of partners
As to the study above stating a majority of adults had only one sexual partner in the 40s 50s 60s etc… this isn’t true
anonymously conducted surveys have found the average number of lifetime sexual partners for those born between 1946-1964 is around 10
That number sticks today… it’s still around ten for most, however gen Z in particuar appears to be having less sex
I’m gonna tag @BrickHead too
Read the fine print
Promiscuity leads to a decline in marriage quality whether you are male or female according to this graph, however the % of differentiation isn’t actually high enough to be particuarly concerned between say one partner vs five…
If P = .05 you’ve JUST met the criteria for statistical signifiance, which is what happened for two of the variables in the graph above
If P=.0001 (not the case here for any of the variables) the difference is like night and day.
If P= higher than .05… like .1 or .08 etc
You cannot use it as justification, because it means nothing. No matter the interpretation, it… means… nothing…
This study implies there shouldn’t be a double standard regarding men vs women and promiscuity as on both ends of the curve similarly lead to decreased marriage satisfaction
But at that, the level of difference isn’t particuarly high after partners go above a lifetime total of 1
There’s a reason for that, but I’ll go into it later
I’m going to seek out this study and post the results… the difference in marriage satisfaction for women regarding 1 vs 3 partners is like 65% vs 63%… i’d be willing to bet the P value isn’t even statistically significant there.
Hence it appears to hardly matter whether a woman is a virgin at marriage or not… if anything it seems to matter more for the men…

Depending on which study one looks at, the quality of data is murky at best
We need meta analysis.
I seriously doubt there’s a significant difference in overall marriage satisfaction/divorce rates regarding whether a man/woman has slept with one person vs say three people… or five people…
The data above is an indicator that promiscuity leads to inferior long term marriage outcomes. Albeit not quite to the extent one would think.
This is the case whether male or female.
Whether there is that much of a difference regarding the variation of lifetime sexual partners that represents the normal range… I’m not convinced.
Hard to find quantitative data on such a topic unless surveys are anonymous too.
Also… think of the demographics, if someone amounts to only one lifetime partner in todays day and age… where does such a person usually come from?
Are they necessarily in a happy marriage? Or do they come from a community that particuarly bastardized (even at fault) divorce?
?
Can anyone find the study of which the initial graph in question comes from
I’d love to read what the authors themselves have to say, and/or the motives behind the study.
Yeet
