You do the math!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just when I think I have men figured out, I get that dating reality check: You think you know, but you have no idea! I was talking to “AJ” and the subject of talents came up. You know, what we were good at, what things we could compete each other in, etc.
Somehow AJ makes a reference to his bedroom talents. Yes, exactly! Ok, did I mention this man is 32 years old? A little too old to brag on that type of thing, no? As if that wasn’t bad enough, he not so subtly told me his magic number, and boy was it high. Way too high for me. I felt bad when he became defensive. He thought I was judging him, and to be honest, I couldn’t help it. How could I not? If it were me, with an astronomical magic number, wouldn’t he raise his eyebrow?
Why did he feel the need to tell me this information? We are not dating seriously, and I got the impression that he thought it would impress me. It did not. It turned me off and, frankly, scared me. Now, he is calling and wants to know why he hasn’t heard from me. I’ve been stalling because (aside from the 87 skeletons in his closet) I was really liking the guy. Is it possible he inflated his number? On second thought, does it even matter? My opinion of him is somewhat altered now, on many levels.
Guys, have you ever voluntarily shared the number of partners you have had with someone you are casually dating? Do you think it is a good idea to discuss it with your “friends with benefits” arrangements?
Ladies, have you ever dumped a guy because you thought that he was a little out of your sexual league? Do you think you could handle being with a guy who has had way more experience than you? Has a guy ever given you his magic number? Did you share yours with him? How did he react?
Do you think it is unfair to judge a person’s magic number?
Let’s keep the discussion as clean as possible, and please watch your language, everyone!
